Metra Single-DIN Radio Installation Multi-Kit for GM 1982–2005, Black — ABS Faceplates & Bracket Kit

This multi-kit supplies the pieces you need to mount a single-DIN replacement radio in a wide range of General Motors dashboards while preserving a clean, factory appearance. It includes multiple ABS faceplates, hardware to use existing OEM brackets, and an additional bracket kit where factory mounting points are absent. Designed for GM models from 1982 through 2005 with equalizer-equipped dash openings, the kit helps installers avoid cutting or modifying the dash.

Which GM vehicles and dash openings does this kit support?

The Metra 99-4544 covers many GM vehicles produced from 1982 to 2005, specifically those with single-DIN cavities and an equalizer option. It is intended for dashboards that originally accepted aftermarket or factory radios and need a tidy fill-in after installing a modern head unit.

• Compatible with 1982–1996 GM models that include an equalizer opening.
• Works with dash openings that accommodate single-DIN radios.
• Uses existing factory brackets when available to simplify installation.
• Includes an additional 02-4544 bracket kit when OEM brackets are missing.

What pieces are included and how do they finish the installation?

The kit arrives with several ABS plastic faceplates and a mounting housing so you can tailor the bezel to the dash. Faceplates snap onto the housing, offering different thicknesses to bridge gaps and create a flush, factory-like look around the radio.

• Four ABS faceplates: flat 1/2", 1/2" with equalizer provision, and a 1" extension.
• Plastic mounting housing that accepts the snap-on faceplates.
• The 02-4544 bracket kit included for installations missing OEM brackets.
• Hardware and components needed to complete the install (installation kit included).

How does this kit simplify installation compared to custom trimming?

Rather than modifying the dash or fabricating a custom bezel, the Metra multi-kit provides pre-formed parts that match common dash dimensions. This reduces installation time, keeps the dashboard intact, and offers a reversible solution that maintains resale value.

• Snaps together with no need for dash cutting or filler materials.
• Accepts factory brackets when present for secure mounting.
• Included bracket kit replaces missing OEM hardware to avoid improvisation.
• Black finish provides a neutral OEM-style appearance behind the radio.

Who is this for? Installers and vehicle owners who want a professional, tidy result after fitting a single-DIN aftermarket radio in older GM vehicles will benefit most. If you value keeping your dashboard original-looking without custom fabrication, need a kit that works with or without factory brackets, and want made-in-USA components, the Metra 99-4544 multi-kit is a practical choice for restoring a seamless dash fitment.
