The Metra 99-5510 is a black single-DIN dash installation kit that lets you mount aftermarket radios neatly into select 1982–2000 Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Jeep dashboards.

The Metra 99-5510 installation multi-kit provides a tailored bezel and rear support pieces crafted to match factory fit and finish so your new radio sits securely and looks factory-installed. Made in the USA, this kit covers a broad range of Ford and Mercury models that use the "snap-in" radio style, including vehicles such as the Festiva and Tracer.

Will this kit work with modern single-DIN receivers and touchscreen modules?

Yes — the 99-5510 is built for modern single-DIN aftermarket radios, including many receivers with small displays or touchscreen modules that fit the single-DIN footprint. Always confirm the radio's chassis dimensions and dash depth before purchasing to ensure clearance for connectors and any rear-mounted components.
