does this kit allow you to remove the radio with a tool/insert/whatever or do you have to remove the entire dash panel like the metra kit?

No it doesn't!! Even the instructions state that once installed, you will have to remove the dash trim bezel if you need to remove the aftermarket radio. If it ever was made to do so as asked, the mfg has changed the product. Whoever is saying yes that you can remove with "tools" on each side, is totally wrong. Only the oem radio have the holes for the tools. This kit DOES NOT have any way of simple radio removal.

You do not need to remove the dash panel just hook it up with the tool one on each side then grab ahold of each side and pull straight out easy as 1, 2, 3

Do you know how to remove door panels, seats, carpets, and put them back? Yes?? - you can do it yourself. No?? - hire a local stereo shop. It's not hard to do all this, but you can break things if you don't know how to use a panel puller. Never heard of a panel tool kit? - hire a local stereo shop.

Everything but your particular vehicle mount and harness. Do a search on Metra for your vehicle to find the dash kit and harness you will need.

Assuming you mean from your car, it should have come with metal pins you stick on both sides of the radio to pull it out. If you're like me and you lost them, you can buy some from RadioShack or Best Buy, or use a metal coat hangar or even keys. I used my keys. Just be careful not to pull too hard. Take off the face and the plastic frame. Start using your fingers to inch it out if you can. If not, take a metal coat hangar or key and slide it out little by little, side by side. It worked for me, no scratches or anything.

If you are taking out a factory radio, you will need to buy an install kit.

Yes....But the panel is large and bulky to put on the dash and then remove it for driving. I have quick disconnect straight from the battery because some newer cars disable the cigarette lighter connection if the key is not present in the ignition.

Just the dash kit.kit comes with ports so you can just hook it up from your cars wiring, original pocket that goes under I Had to also buy. Bc the kit wasnt designed for the original pocket. Overall it looks great. I have no complaints. Till this day I still have it. No problems with a/c controls or kit @ all.

This is just the cover. It screws into the dash but make sure you have plenty on space for it to open. My radio sits somewhat under the steering wheel and I can't open it all the way without it hitting the wheel.

No interior panels need to be removed to install. It's a very easy installation. However, there are 2 special treaded inserts that need to be installed into the vehicle body with a special tool. I took mine to a dealership to have them install the threads. They only charged me $20. Honestly, you can get away with not doing those inserts at all.

Never had to remove mine. It can be done because I installed mine backwards in the beginning. Two little clips that you pull out or press in along the tracks.

Yes, mine did, I flush mounted into the dash so I did not use it. but it did come with the bracket and quick release knobs so you could remove daily if you wanted.

No this is just a storage pocket that goes in the dash next to where your gauges are when you remove the factory radio components.

Everything that is in that kit fits perfect with the original manufactory radio/Ac console. You may have to take parts off the original equipment; However, it still hooks-up very simple. I didn't have to do any altering the Metra kit. It works and looks great in my car; very pleased with this unit.

It comes with the standard din cage and keys that you can fold out those fins to hold it in the dash. Once the din cage is mounted and secured Hook up power cable and antenna and slide the radio into place.

No, you will need the complete dash kit + harness + antenna adapter usually sold together, this item alone will not get the job done
