Metra Double-DIN Dash Kit for Honda Element 2003-2011 - Textured ABS with Mounting Brackets

The Metra 95-7863 dash kit lets you install a 4" tall (Double-DIN) aftermarket radio into select 2003–2011 Honda Element dashboards with a factory-like appearance.

Replacing the factory stereo in a Honda Element can unlock modern features like touchscreen navigation, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and improved audio. The Metra 95-7863 is molded to align with the Element's original contours and texture so the new head unit integrates seamlessly with the dash. Made from durable ABS and supplied with mounting brackets and instructions, this kit simplifies the swap while keeping a clean, vehicle-original look.

How does this kit make a Double-DIN radio fit my Honda Element?

The 95-7863 provides the correct opening, mounting points, and trim profile to accept any standard 4" tall aftermarket radio designed for Double-DIN installation. Its form factor fills gaps and secures the head unit so it sits flush with the surrounding dash.

• Precise Double-DIN opening matched to industry-standard radio dimensions
• Included metal mounting brackets for secure attachment
• Trim ring and bezel designed to cover installation edges for a finished look

Will the kit match my Element's dashboard texture and color?

Metra crafts the 95-7863 from textured ABS plastic intended to replicate the look and feel of the factory dash. While exact shade matching can vary slightly by interior color and vehicle age, the kit is designed to harmonize with the original dash surface.

• Textured finish mimics factory grain for visual continuity
• Durable ABS resists warping and color shift over time
• Paintable surface if a custom color match is needed

What additional parts or tools will I need to complete the installation?

The dash kit includes brackets and clear instructions, but harnesses and antenna adapters are often required to connect an aftermarket radio to the vehicle’s wiring and antenna. Basic hand tools are usually sufficient for the installation.

• Vehicle-specific wiring harness (sold separately) for plug-and-play connections
• Antenna adapter if the factory plug differs from the new radio
• Screwdrivers, trim tools, and possibly a socket set for removal and mounting

Is technical help available if I run into problems?

Yes—Metra provides a tech support line seven days a week to guide installers through challenges or questions about fitment and wiring. Follow the included step-by-step instructions first, then contact support if needed.

• Detailed printed installation guide included in the box
• Manufacturer tech support available daily for troubleshooting
