2015 double din dash kit on a 2011

I’d doing the HVAC control swap in my 2011 for the controls out of a 2015. The 2015 HVAC control is a metallic gloss black and I have a Scosche double din kit for a 2015 that color matches perfect but nothing I do will make it sit flush at the top.

Am I doing something wrong or are the mounting points so slightly different that it won’t fit? Anyone have experience with this?

Yes I read the instructions. The Metra kit I had in there fit pretty good and the mounting points between the 2011 Metra and 2015 Scosche all look the same.

Any guidance?

 

The dash is slightly different, 2005-11 is one style and 2012-15 is another. You can take out the dash bezel that has air vents and cut it a little bit. There’s a few posts somewhere on here about it. Or just order a dash bezel from an 2012-15

 

Pics? Im wanting to do the same thing, simply because the 12-15 dash kit looks better. Id like to see how bad it is before attempting.

 

This thread explains it pretty well.

It doesn’t work. Doesn’t fit right, looks like shit IMO. I went to the flat black dash, looks better.

 

What do you mean it doesnt fit right?

It doesn’t fit. It won’t snap into the dash like the correct one so it sits in there loose. It leaves a huge gap, doesn’t sit flush.

 

Im not doing a radio swap though. Im wondering if i buy the scosche dash kit for a double din radio designs for a 12-15 woukd it fit in my 09? This guys issue was the radio not sitting far enough back.

 

The Scosche dash kit is what I am talking about. It will fit the same as that radio swap because the mounting points are all the same.

I tried everything except fabricating my own brackets. It doesn’t work.

 

Well fuck... Ice swapped out to the glossy black 12-15 ac controls, and wanted a glossy block radio bezel to match.... Fuckin hell. Guess ill have to go with the non glossy black for my 09. That fucking sucks

 

I did the same. I got the gloss black controls and the scosche dash kit to match but the dash kit just wouldn’t fit right. I plan to swap the gloss black controls for the flat black as well. It the truck is just sitting with nothing right now because I haven’t driven it in a long time.

 

Well fack

 

Did u Guys have any more luck with this ? Have an 08 with silver dash and ac controls and want to know do u have the part # for the ac covering control part that is black ?

 

@09doublecab83 do you happen to have the part number for the AC control bezel ? i'm trying to do the black double din kit but my lower AC surrounding bezel is silver. I don't care if it's gloss or not, but wondered if there was a way to order the OEM instead of just plastidipping or painting the original ?
Outlined in blue is the piece i'm trying to change. Thanks in advance!
