Average Customer Review(s):
Fit like a glove
Does not fit a 2015 Titan A model. Came free with my order and is totally wrong for a double din install on a 2015 Titan.
Pros: Doesn't fit a double din on a Titan, cheap plastic.
Cons: See pros
I hate to say it, but this doesn't seem to work with my head unit. Pioneer DEH-X8800BHS CD Receiver. It pushes the unit to far out of the dash for a good, clean fit. I had to run the included trim piece and install after the dash panel was in place. Pretty cheesy looking IMHO. Not how I wanted my butt kicking stereo to look.
Pros: Free
Cons: Doesn't work for Pioneer DEH-X8800BHS CD Receiver
None of this fit. When I told Crutchfield that the install equipment didn't work I was told to modify it incorrectly to get it to fit.
Cons:Crutchfield response on May 22, 2017 We're sorry you had a tough time with the installation in your Nissan, Matt. Matt contacted a couple of our Tech Support gurus to help him out with the installation, and we also provided him a refund for the installation gear since it wasn't working for his application.
Pros: None
Cons: Doesn't fit the stereo Couldn't use itCrutchfield response on March 29, 2017 Once we saw this review, our Tech Support team reached out to Juan to issue an apology and help him further. We'll either help him get the kit installed correctly, or help him return it for an exchange or refund.
It works great but with a double din unit you only need the small frame that goes around the front of the radio. The rest of the stuff is for a single din unit. I'm glad it was free with my radio. If I had paid for all that and I only needed one piece out of the package, I would have been upset. In my 2007 Nissan Frontier XE the double din frame is held in by a star wrench screw and I didn't have one of those so I just put in the right place and snapped my dash back into place. It holds well and looks good around my head unit. Thanks Crutchfield!
Pros: Easy to install, looks great.
Cons: It's a lot of waste because I can't use 90% of the product with my double din head unit. It would be better if they would just send the double din stuff separately.
Metra kit was a perfect fit. I did a DDin ISO, so only needed one piece of the kit. Nice when it fits with no alterations, adjustments.
Pros: What I needed of this was perfect.
Cons: None
As others have mentioned, this does not property fit a Xterra double-din install. Pretty clear this is an issue after reading the comments but still being sold and advertised for the Xterra double-din. Most people wouldn't consider it proper fit you have to cut off two mounting tabs and silicone the trim piece in to make it fit. If I had known beforehand, I would have probably gone with a single-din radio which the install kit looks like it properly supports.
Cons: Doesn't fit double-din installs correctly but still sold as if it does
Got a bunch of parts but only needed the trim around the double din receiver and it was too big and and left gaps between receiver and dash opening.
Cons: Poor fit Paid for a lot of parts I didn't needCrutchfield response on December 28, 2016 Whenever you encounter a problem with anything you purchase from Crutchfield, especially a situation like this, please contact our tech support team right away.

Super simple to use, made installation of my stereo a breeze!!!
I can remember a time when I paid car stereo shops hundreds to do my installs. What a dope. Since then, with the help of Crutchfield I've installed at least 20 stereos and the dash kits get easier to use, even as the dashes get more complicated.
Pros: The right product for the job
Cons: none
I have a 2005 Nissan X-Terra. This came with the purchase of the radio (JVC KW-R920BTS). The factory radio is a double DIN radio and the radio I purchased was a double DIN radio, so the only thing that I need to use from the Dash Kit was the piece of plastic that goes around the radio to give it a more professional look. Had I purchased this somewhere else I may not have considered buying this. The reason for the 2 stars is because it did not fit the opening in my dash properly. The directions said that there would be 2 screws on the side of the air conditioning vents that this would screw into to hold it up. They were not there. If i were to try to install it with the "screw holders" that it came with it did not fit. So, to remedy the situation I simply cut those off and placed it in the opening. The pressure of the radio is enough to hold it up. If I would have purchased a single DIN radio I may feel differently about it because it looks like the rest of it houses the single DIN radio perfectly. If I would have installed the radio without it all together it would look OK with a small area around it that would show the inside of the dash, but it is by no means an absolute. I can't complain too much I didn't pay anything for it, I just wanted to make sure that if you had a 2005 X-Terra you had this information.
Not very impressed with this kit. It did not fit my Nissan Xterra 2006. I am glad it was free otherwise I would have returned it.
Cons: I had to cut pieces to make my radio fit correctly in my car
Didn't work for a 2007 Xterra using a double din stereo. The double din surround didn't fit and instructions were to screw it in where 2 screws already existed, but the 2 screws it showed in the image didn't exist in our vehicle. It leaves about a quarter of an inch gap below the stereo, so I'll be rigging something to fill that gap. Called Crutchfield Customer Service and they were great as always, but we weren't able to find any other solution.
This is second metra dash Kit i have used. Crutchfield makes it soo easy to install. I matched my vehicles perfectly. Easy instructions to follow. A big box or retail chain store would charge an arm and maybe two legs to install it. Crutchfield makes it easy.
Pros: So simple, perfect match for any vehicle. Looks like a professional installed it.
Fit my car like a glove. Easy to install
Not much to say - does the job it sets out to do.
Unfortunately the double DIN part does not fit the 06 Xterra. The Xterra is missing the two screws it says to mount the trim piece to. If you cut the plastic back and use a bit of silicone you can make something work.
Cons:Crutchfield response on October 10, 2016 Dan, we're sorry you had problems with your mounting kit. Whenever you encounter a problem with anything you purchase from Crutchfield, please contact our tech support team right away. Lifetime tech support comes with every Crutchfield purchase.
Looks good. I had a double din so I only used the outer frame but it works fine
This worked as advertised.
This is a perfect kit for the vehicle
Pros: Easy to install, nothing to trim or cut off.
Cons: none
This came with the Pioneer 4200NEX double din headunit for my Frontier. The kit has a single din kit and a trim ring for double din. Naturally the single din part did not come in handy. So I installed the double din trim ring, its a narrow frame that has a roughly 1/8" lip to fill the small gap between factory bezel and the new radio. Not only was it flimsy which i guess is expected for a thin ring, but it got in the way of the motorized faceplate. The headunit would get stuck both opening and closing. Needless to say I removed it since you dont even really notice the gap without it. Now it works fine. This may infact work for stationary faced double dins, but was useless for my set up. Glad it was free or i would have been quite annoyed with the extra labor having to remove it after i already finished.
Pros: Included with purchase has both single din kit and double din trim ring (see cons)
Cons: for the 05-08 Nissan frontier, this kit is useless no parts are needed The trim ring for the double din install actually interfered with the operation of the headunit and was removedCrutchfield response on June 7, 2016 Whenever you encounter a problem with anything you purchase from Crutchfield, especially a situation like this, please contact our customer service or tech support teams right away.

I have experience with a number of dash kits. This one was easy enough to configure and install. The finished result is unsatisfactory and I'm in the process of searching for an alternative. The primary issue is the amount of gaping amount of space around the edges of the (single din) deck and the cheap appearance of the pocket. I've always been pleased with Crutchfield, but this kit is crap.
Pros: Easy to install
Cons: Cheap looking, poor fit.
Kit looks good but the tabs to lock it into the double din frame just wouldn't hold. I finally had to use silicone cement to hold it in and finish the job.
Pros: Looks good.
Cons: Flimsy locking tabs that don't hold.
I got this for a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder and a double DIN radio. The only part you need is a little skinny trim ring that fits around the opening. All that plastic you pay for and only one of several parts is needed. They should sell just that part for a dollar or two. The part doesn't even fill the full gap around the radio. If there other options...shop around.
Pros: See above.
Cons: See above.
The quality seems OK, and this is probably a good kit if using a single DIN receiver. However, none of the parts were useful for installing a double din in my Pathfinder. The instructions show to use one trim ring from the kit, but this looked terrible when installed and was un-necessary.
Pros: Looks like it would work well with a single DIN receiver
Cons: Un-necessary for a double DIN in my 05 Pathfinder.Crutchfield response on February 23, 2016 Whenever you encounter a problem with anything you purchase from Crutchfield, especially a situation like this, please contact our customer service or tech support teams right away.

This is a basic dash kit that I used to install a Pioneer DVD reveiver into an '07 Xterra. It was made of a sturdy plastic and fit perfectly into the dash. The only problem I had was with the instruction booklet... When installing into an Xterra there are some plastic tabs that have to be trimmed to make everything fit. The generic instructions do not include this step. Luckily, Customer Support at Crutchfield was aware of the problem when I called. They were able to get me moving in the right direction!
Pros: Sturdy construction Great fit Easy installation (once I contacted Crutchfield)
Cons: Instructions are generic and may not include every detail needed to complete the install
did not even need it.
Literally only used 1 piece from this whole kit. The double din rectangle was all I used. Used this in my 2005 Nissan Frontier and the double din trim piece hangs out over the head unit. Was hoping for a flush mount. But whatever. The quality of this kit isn't that great either. Its pretty cheap and flimsy plastic that easily bends.
Pros: Filled the gap.
Cons: Cheap quality. I only needed 1 of the 5 pieces that were included. Doesn't give a flush mount.
I installed the JVC KW-R910BT in 2006 Nissan Xterra. It fits okay. Not flush and perfect but much more aesthetically pleasing than without. No one that comes in my car notices the imperfect fit, only me since I installed it and I am my toughest critic. The install was tricky. It took a forceful hand to get the panel back in place while placing this in. It doesnt have a place in the Xterra to connect to the panel so I had to hold it in place while I moved the panel back into position.
Pros: Fits
Cons: Tough to install
The kit has everything you need to install a double din radio. The instructions were good but I called the company with a couple of questions about the installation and they were very helpful.
Pros: Good fit in my 2007 Nissan Frontier
Cons: none
Flimsy not best quality but works
Pros: Works
Cons: Not the professional install look I wanted.
I kind of had a hard time figuring out how to put it together because instruction are not quite explanatory and they send you extra parts to modify the casing if necessary.
Pros: It fits in a nissan 2006 you just have to figure out how to make it work. Being a rookie didn't help. But it fits and keeps the radio tight and stable. Not loose.
Cons: Poor instruction installation booklet.
This is a nice install kit......if you need it. I didn't need anything in this package but they sent it anyway. No harm no foul. Could come in handy later. Thanks Crutchfield.
I used this to install a single DIN Alpine HD148BT in a 2005 Xterra Off Road with the Rockford Fosgate system. The metal bracket set the unit the right distance back, except the RCA connectors did not allow it to be seated. I then used the plastic ears and set the unit out about 1/4" for clearance. The ears do not lock the unit in place well without a super hard push along with prying the tabs on the ears to engage the adapter. The trim pieces do not fit in the dash opening. I trimmed them, but they would not lock in place with the head unit set out far enough for adequate RCA plug clearance in back. I ended up cutting the trim piece down to separate top and bottom (no side) pieces and it looks almost ok. If I cared more I would adapt the factory metal brackets and fabricate my own close out. It did not matter in my case but the double DIN trim piece does not fit the opening either.
Pros: My stereo is in the dash. In all other respects Crutchfield's suggested components worked great, just not this. Main adapter fits.
Cons: Poor retention, trim pieces do not fit, clearance problems.
The only part out of this kit that was needed for my 2007 Nissan Xterra didn't fit without modification. The location where the screws were supposed to go was not correct. My Xterra did NOT have screws in the locations that the directions said it did. I had to trim the screw hole tabs in order to get this to fit. So there is no screws holding it in place. But if you don't trim off too much of the screw hole tab, it will hold in place until the unit is in place. Once installed, the unit will hold the trim piece in place.
Pros: None
Cons: Had to modify the trim piece to work on 2007 Nissan Xterra.
2005 Pathfinder. Used my factory mounting plates on a JVC Double Din. There's a gap on top of the stereo but I couldn't use the trim ring because it's thick and I can't close the dash. The single din kit would've fit perfectly as they have the same mounting points as the factory bracket.
Pros: Free
Cons: Nothing fitsCrutchfield response on May 26, 2015 We forwarded this review to our Technical Support team for follow-up. Lifetime tech support comes with every Crutchfield purchase.
I think realy great product
I used this in a Nissan Frontier with a Pioneer double den DVD receiver. The only part that was used was the large square shaped trim in the picture. This stuck out much more than the radio which is not really how I was hoping to look, was expecting a flush mount trim. Maybe the single den works better on this. This worked fine but not really the look I was hoping for.
Pros: Filled in gap around radio.
Cons: Fittment
Only used one piece for a double din installation. Fit fine.
This item came with much more than was needed for my application. It worked well but I had to throw away 80% of what came as I didn't need it. The part that I actually used should have been a $3 part. That is my only complaint is it was overkill for my 2008 Nissan Frontier.
Pros: Worked well
Cons: To many parts not used in my application.
Since I was installing a double dinn radio I only needed one trim piece but since it was included at no charge I cant complain about the unneeded pieces
Made a finished look
Pros: Fit first time
Cons: None
This kit provides all you need to install a new 1-DIN unit, but the only piece applicable to a Double-DIN installation is a trim ring that provides acceptable protection around the sides/front of the new stereo.
Pros: Nice quality, lots of options and parts. Single-DIN portion of kit is excellent.
Cons: Double-DIN trim ring is passable, but hardly worth it if you don't get this free with your new head-unit's installation kit.
1. Not a well constructed kit. 2. Low Quality
Pros: None
Cons: 1. Kit had to be modified to fit. 2. After installation thin plastic trim strip bends. Should remain straight 3. Kit did not allow dash cover to be re-installed. It was necessary to trim plastic trim. 4. Not a quality product.
it was great to have them if needed but I didn't need to use them on my install
Pros: great to have them included if needed
This is a well put-together kit made from quality materials. The documentation is clear and it installs with great ease. The only problem is that it does not fit in a 2014 Xterra X. Crutchfield's site specifies it, as does Metra's. but sometime at or before the 2014 model year, NIssan changed the form factor in the X trim audio system to match the S and the Pro-4X trims. As a result, the 99-7581 places the head unit about 3/4" too far back into the dash, and leaves a gap around the installation that varies in size between large enough to insert a finger, and large enough to insert a flat trim tool. For the 2014 Xterra X, you'll need the Metra 99-7619, which is the same kit used for the newer S and Pro-4X models. The 7619 fits like a glove!
Pros: Well-made, clear instructions, solid installation.
Cons: Doesn't fit newer Xterra models.Crutchfield response on October 13, 2014 Thanks for letting us know, Michael. Our vehicle research team investigated and found the proper kit. They updated our vehicle database so customers will now receive the right installation gear.
This by far has been the worst bracket I have had to deal with! Installed a double din jvc in 05 pathfinder had to use the factory brackets that put the unit to far into the dash and the supplied metra trim ring left a large gap at the top. After 3 hours of modifying the factory brackets it looks decent not great. I think the kit should have come with some brackets for the double din that have more mounting hole options and a better fitting trim bezel. Not impressed at all actually disappointed in the fit.
Pros: None
Cons: Does not come with double din mounting brackets
Good product fit perfectly,very happy.
Cons: Maybe would need to come with a plastic version of the factory plates for double din installs being u need the factory plates to do that install. In case someone had prior removed the factory unit and no longer has those plates.
I dont believe there was ever a time when Crutchfield didn't deliver. Their team is so knowledgeable is ridiculous. Blake for example found what I needed after me explaining for only 30 seconds. How great is that? Product was shipped super fast too.
Pros: Everything!
Cons: They havent discovered star treks transporter technology so I had to wait for shipping
Very easy to install
Great quality
Worked perfectly in my 13 frontier, extremely easy and straightforward install.
Pros: Fits perfect
Cons: Cd player sits in to far.
right dash kit but did not fit right could have been my radio was to deep but made it work
This item included a lot of parts I didn't need, but it did include the one item I required, so it was perfect!
Pros: Everything I needed and then some.
Cons: None
gave my install a professional look without the hassle of going to the local radio shop
Pros: look price (free) wooo hooo!
Cons: came with way more hardware than needed that just ended up in the trash to fill up our landfills
This kit was not needed to install my head unit on 05' Nissan Pathfinder as I used the existing factory brackets to mount it.
Nice fit
I was less than impressed with these for my Nissan XTerra. The one peice I needed from the kit does not fit properly at all. It needed to be modifed to work even somewhat, but in the end it was just a temporary peice until I could fabricate my own bezel to give the final install a clean factory look.
Pros: They came free with my purcahse so I didn't waste money on them.
Cons: They don't do pretty much anything they are supposed to do. They need to be modified to work at all in certain applications.
perfect fit, easy to install, looks great
Pros: perfect fit, easy to install, looks great
Cons: none
Made install a snap
Easy to use, everything I needed was in this package.
Pros: Free with purchase. good plastic and good fit
Cons: none
This product fit my car perfectly. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the cover bracket that snaps in around the radio was a bit loose. I had to use some electrical tape to keep it from rattling around. It really was not that much of a problem, I just found it odd that everything else fit so perfect except this one piece.
Pros: Fit perfect. Exact same size and shape as the stock harness. The ISO brackets allowed the radio to fit securely in the receiver.
Cons: Just that one cover bracket was fairly loose, but it has not rattled since the install if you tape it down with some electrical tape.
Pros: GREAT FIT
Cons: N/A
The face plate kit was a bit cumbersome. Had to experiment to see which item worked the best in covering empty space. The good thing there were enough choices to fix the empty space.
Pros: Various covering to accomplish final setup. Visual look is most important and covering empty space is key. Had the perfect sizes to do the job.
Cons: None
Didn't fit my 96 Exterra without modification. Modification was easy but you have to go ahead and cut it and hope it works. It did and now Crutchfield has incorporated my feedback into there instruction sheet.
Simple instructions, fit perfectly.
Pros: simple, perfect fit
Cons: none
fits perfect in my 2013 frontier s
Pros: perfect fit
Cons: none
This kit has too many unnecessry parts that do not apply to the specific radio and vehicle.
Pros: Fairly easy to install, once it is determined which of the parts is needed for the particular vrhicle.
Cons: Instructions said to use the vehicle's factory mount brackets, but they required drilling out 3 of the 4 holes for the screws to fit the new radio.
Everything fit nicely. Looks good installed. Am missing a part, but Crutchfield is sending a replacement right out.
Pros: Easy install, Good fit.
Cons: Wish it had a little more finished look on the little tray under the stereo for the single din install.
Perfect fit. Looks like a factory install
Pros: Easy match
For my particular purchase, this really wasnt needed. I was able to bend the mounts that came on the receiver about 1/16 of an inch and use all the existing hardware and holes.
2006 Nissan Xterra, all you need from the kit is the trim ring.
Pros: Looks good !!!!
Cons: None
It fit perfect and work excellent
Perhaps this would be helpful with a DIN install but there was no way to make it work on a 2007 Nissan Frontier DDIN install and tech support was no help.
Pros: None
Cons: Didn't work.
And here they are: 1) As Reich1 noted, the design of this kit puts the head unit in a location that creates physical interference between the head unit's rear wiring and the dash crossbar in the Nissan Frontier (mine's an '08 non-Nismo, so it's not just the Nismo version). This literally made it impossible to install in my vehicle. 2) As MarkP pointed out, the brackets that attach to the sides of the head unit have very poor retention in the main body of the mount. The head unit pops/falls out of the mount with very little force. Be prepared to catch your head unit if you ever get rear-ended 3) The "trim plate" that goes on last had an insane amount of vertical play - in the neighborhood of 1/16 of an inch.
Pros: Crutchfield's return policy - I'm returning this heap
Cons: I was conned into thinking this would work...
Trim piece didn't fit the dash around the radio. No problem. Can't really notice it anyway.
Pros: Came in a complete kit for single DIN and double DIN radios. Crutchfield included for free with the order.
Cons: Couldn't use anything from the kit but didn't really need to.
Kit is not needed for 2008 Xterra with doulble-din install. I did use the trim ring though because I thought it looked a little nicer and fit a little better than the one with the radio.
Pros: Good universal kit but Crutchfield needs to evaluate better what kind of vehicle and radio install to save themself money.
Cons: None seen.
I do not believe that the Nismo model was taken into consideration. If all models have a metal cross brace tube that runs behind the receiver this install kit is junk. Where the wire harness goes into the receiver it hits the metal tube. There is no way around it and that issue is not addressed in the instructions. I had to space the metal frame that came with the stereo out about a 1/4". It looks fine but I should have not had to take it out and try different things to make the install kit work. And yes I tried the plastic ears that come with the kit. They two would not snap in place without the back of the stereo hitting that tube. I was installing a Kenwood KDC-BT752HD. Someone at Crutchfield should look to see if all models have that tube. If so the stereo and install kit does NOT work without modification!
Pros: Finish matched factory colors and texture good
Cons: Didn't fit right.
Didn't really need the whole kit but with all the different types of decks and the volumes that this company deals with I can see why the entire kit is included. You will need one part of the other in a 2006 pathfinder, so I appreciated it being there. Lots of parts left over, I would have been very upset having to pay for the kit and only using the frame that was needed for a double din to double din replacement. All in all thanx crutchfield.
Pros: Without it there will be an awkward gap.
Cons: Kind of cheap looking but you get what you pay for and this was free, so....
The 2-din to 1-din converter has odd construction. It does not fit the Nissan Xterra nicely.
Pros: Kit is free
Cons: Does not fit nicely
This kit was completely unnecessary for my install. I used the factory metal mounting brackets off of the factory radio and the bezel cover supplied with the radio. (Which fit better than the one in this kit)
Pros: They are pretty looking.
Cons: I had no use for them on this install.
So-so kit. Instructions not at all helpful; figured out how to make it work on my own. Tab features didn't hold, some broke, and had to engineer other solution to lock head unit into kit. Upper "filler bar" a bit warped and is slightly noticeable in vehicle. Lower pocket is a cool feature.
Pros: Cool pocket feature
Cons: Plastic choice not the best (breakable tabs, warp in part); instructions useless
After attaching the plastic mounting clips to the stereo when I went to slid the stereo into the holding fixture the clips didn't clip very well. One little touch and the radio would pop back out. There is no way to bend the clip a little so it catches better since they are plastic. I ended up going to local auto parts store and buying another kit.
Cons: Clips wouldn't hold stereo in place
I was replacing a double DIN with a double DIN. The kit was also equipped for replacing double DIN with single DIN. So it came with many extra parts. Instructions not too clear. All I needed was a plastic frame. Glad it came free. I would not have been happy buying this whole kit for just a plastic frame.
Pros: Gives professional apperance. Came free from Crutchfield with receiver purchase.
Cons: Should have separate kits for single and double DIN.
Does exactly what it is supposed to. Kit drops right in, no issues.
Not really sure if this kit was necessary, but Crutchfield said it was. I installed it on a 2008 Nissan Xterra. The frustration began with the kit had many pieces I didn't need for my double DIN Pioneer unit. The only piece I could use was a rectangular plastic frame. The problem was that it wasn't labeled for orientation on the stereo's faceplate. I tried several placements of the frame and had clearance problems while securring the dash panel, in other arrangements, the frame seemed awkward and cheap plastic looking.
Pros: None
Cons: Missing detailed instructions, cheap plastic.
The parts are cheap plastic. I didn't need this to install in my vehicle, a 2012 Suzuki Equator. The instructions they sent were wrong also. I was able to install my radio by adapting the factory mounting plates from my factory radio.
Pros: none.
Cons: cheap plastic.
The kit for my Nissan Xterra 2006 was just right, no problems installing.
Cons: none
I had the factory double DIN radio and was replacing it with a single DIN. This did help to fill the space, but it honestly isn't holding the radio as well as I'd like. The thing works don't get me wrong, but it's not the best in the world. The directions also, were terrible at describing how exactly to place the radio. I ended up just doing what worked best for my scenario; not sure if it is truly right or not.
Pros: Will work well for what it is.
Cons: Definitely has the plastic crappy feeling about it. The directions are awful and offered no help what so ever!
Too easy, worked fine
Instructions are not very clear but you can find a video online and that is the way to go. The filler plate looks decent. It all works and it's free!
The fit on this kit is perfect. Just looks like it has been there from day one. Was easy to install, and the instructions were clear.
Pros: great looks and another compartment for stuff
Cons: None
Only useable part is the bezel and I had to modify it. Used it just as backing for the bezel furnished with the radio (JVC KW-R900BT).
Pros: none
Cons: useless
Everything worked and looks great in my 2008 Xterra. I replaced the factory radio and this kit looks clean. I like the small storage space to stow my phone and mp3 player. When installing, I would suggest getting everything snug fit and installed outside of the truck, then just install the whole unit at once. A couple wire harness swaps and 4 screws later, and you're done.
Pros: Looks good. Secure fit.
Cons: none
Well, this product is good and bad. I don't believe there many options for my 2008 Nissan Xterra, but this one came free with my Alpine CDE-122, so it's hard to complain. But, for those of you who are looking at this to purchase, I will give an honest review. The install was simple, and fast. I have never installed any type of in dash system until this and it took me 35 min from start to finish. It's a little flimsy and cheap looking but that's not the bad part for me. I had read some reviews on here talking about how it makes the unit sit too far back in the dash and this is true. I'm not concerned with the looks as much as I am with the fact that it makes detaching the face on my Alpine almost impossible.
Pros: cheap, easy to install
Cons: finish, sits CD player too deep into dash
Called Customer Service to make sure this was the correct fit for my 2012 Nissan Pathinder SV and was advise it was correct. I proceeded to purchase a Kenwood DDX-419 and was advised by a Professional Installer this kit was the incorrect size for my vehicle. Cruchfield said they would refund my money but there is no company that makes a kit for my vehicle, so I'm stuck with a $300.00 CD Player I can't use
Pros: None
Cons: Kit Doesn't fit my vehicleCrutchfield response on July 2, 2012 Thanks for your review. Based on this information our vehicle research team took another look at the Pathfinder and determined that there are actually four configurations for audio in that vehicle. The current kit only works with the base radio. We have updated our database, and updates to the MasterSheet are in the works.
Fit our new deck in our 2008 Nissan Xterra just fine. I don't think it looks cheap, in fact it gives a complete look to the dash since we removed the double DIN stock unit and put in a single DIN. Definitely necessary for the 2008 Xterra.
Decent quality. It did not work for my 2007 Nissan Frontier though because the kit made the unit I bought sit so far back in the dash that the wire harness was hitting the frame. I just used the existing metal brackets from the factory stereo. The screws lined up perfect with the new stereo I bought. I just bought a pocket from a 99 frontier and it fit perfectly in the metal bracket underneath the new stereo. Subaru and Nissan pockets are the same if you need to find one. I would guess this bracket must work for other vehicles. It just did not for mine but how can I complain when it was free. Crutchfield is awesome!
Fit perfectly. This went into an Xterra which - lets be honest - has a very cheap interior to begin with, so the mediocre finish sort of blends right in.
Installed double-DIN receiver in Nissan Xterra, worked like a champ. However, I only needed one piece out of the kit (the trim ring). None of the metal parts were needed
Pros: Necessary for a professional look; everything necessary plus some
Cons: none
Includes a single DIN mounting bracket when the unit I ordered is double-DIN so didn't need that. Also couldn't use the metal mounting sleeve that came with the head unit. Ended up having to use the OEM metal brackets from my 2008 nissan frontier to get the head unit to line up with the dash opening. The OEM brackets only lined up 100% with one screw hole on each side of the unit so I used a drill and file to make another hole in the OEM bracket so the screws would line up better. There was one thin black plastic rectangle piece that filled the opening around the unit very nicely though.
We only needed one trim piece out of the entire kit to install a Pioneer AVH2400BT. The original metal side brackets had to be reused.
Pros: Great fit and looks professional.
Cons: Only needed one 39 cent trim piece but definitely helped.
I bought this kit for my 2006 Nissan pathfinder, and it's total crap. It doesn't fit. There's this metal bar that won't let you recess the deck all the way in so it locks in. I about gave up.
Pros: non
Cons: Junky
Thought it looked rather flimsy when I unpacked my order, I was right. Unit installed easily enough but sits the receiver too far into the dash. Almost impossible to get the unit to "click" into the DIN cage due to interference with steel support bar behind dash. After finishing the installation, I think it looks like something I would have done on my '51 Ford when I was 15 years old. Unit is not flush with the dash as shown in the picture above and has gaps around it. I intend to remove and fabricate a new spacer that will align the unit correctly. The storage compartment below the unit will be almost impossible to clean. It could have best been left off and replaced with a blank cover to fit the opening but that probably wouldn't have fit either.
Pros: It is mostly hidden from view so no one can see how cheap it is.
Cons: cheap, cheap, cheap
This was on a 2006 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab with the factory Rockford Fosgate stereo. The dash kit was not needed at all. Required a trim piece, but the stereo I got had one so I didn't need the one in the kit.
Pros: It was free and provided as another demonstration of Crutchfield's customer support.
Cons: None, since not used.
Installed radio on a 2008 Nissan Frontier. I only used the dash cover plate. Didn't need anything else for my double din radio. I can see it being used for a single din unit.
Pros: For a single din a must.
Cons: NONE!!!!
Radio, instructions sheet and harness are excellent. The Nissan Frontier Kit was not neccessary.
Pros: Kit never used.
Cons: The Nissan Frontier Kit was not neccessary.
Excellent product Easy to install, I give it thumbs up.
Pros: Easy instructions the display makes it easy to understand how to install.
I used the existing factory bracket, it fits snugly, there was no need to use any of the plastic brackets. All the wires connected fine but I should have ordered the connectors along with the JVC stereo radio. Instead, I ended up buying butt connectors from Radio Shack.
Pros: Everything came as promised to help make the job as easy for my Nissan Frontier.
Cons: No complaints and nothing to argue about.
Excellent product with clear instructions. Fit like a glove!
Pros: Excellent product with clear instructions. Fit like a glove!
Cons: None
I, too, have a 2008 Xterra in which I just installed a single DIN HU, and I, too, am really dissatisfied with the fit and finish of this kit. The two plastic brackets provided with the kit that attach to the left and right sides of the HU began to degrade (shed bits of plastic) the moment I placed the requisite screws into them. Installed in the dash, this kit looks unfinished, is not tight to the touch, seems too recessed into the dash, and with flex around the edges, just looks plain cheap. I also hate that fact that thin, poor quality plastic is now used to hold the kit into the dash as opposed to the solid metal brackets that came with the factory unit, and I'm worried that those other terrible plastic brackets that are holding the stereo in place yet began to degrade even prior to installation into the vehicle won't be able to hold up to button presses and on-the-road bumps and vibrations in the long run. This kit really ended an otherwise easy installation process on a sour note, and as it seems I'm not the only one with this specific vehicle that has noted the above with this kit, I implore Crutchfield to find a better quality, more suitable replacement for the Xterra.
I installed a Double DIN unit in a Nissan Frontier. For that job I needed one (and only one!) of the many parts supplied. Just for fun I put it on a scale I had in the garage. 92.3% of the material shipped in the kit went in the trash. The plastic looks cheap. I'm not sure what it is, but it looks like ABS from a poorly textured tool. In the end it did fit, was reasonably square after some fiddling, and looks generally OK.
Pros: It works.
Cons: Lots of wasted plastic, looks cheap.
This was a perfect fit ...right down to the angle of the tabs on the two screws to the AC vent anchors.
The mounting kit had a tiny rattle because the faceplate did not fit the radio as snuggly as it should have. I added a small piece of velcro to the top and bottom of the faceplate. It fits snug and looks great. Thanks...
The kit worked and made installation relatively easy, but it could use a spacer for the unit I was installing. Without one, the back of the unit bumps up against a metal support bar on the firewall. The kit has a somewhat unfinished look to it.
Great product. Perfect fit and made install super easy. Wish they had these when i was installing stereos back in the day. Really well done.
The kit was just right for my vehicle and easily allowed for the conversion from a double din setup to a single din setup with a storage area below the unit. It took all doubt and confusion out of the equation. Very good service from Crutchfield.
Very easy to instal.
stereo fit fine but the plate that goes around it to fill the gap did not fit, too big. I have a small gap all the way around the face, 07 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab.
I am not a big fan of these plastic kits. For the install of my Double DIN JVC rx 600 radio, I just had to use the thin trim ring. It fit pretty well so the radio install looks good. Not too bad an item.
Installation of the kit and radio was easy. The only confusing thing was the extra parts. One of the extra pieces was labelled as possibly extra but in addition the slides were not needed with radio I installed neither was a trim piece.
Instructions were great and very clear. Install was quick and easy with provided material. Fit was superb. My only disappointment with the package is that the plastic frame makes it difficult to remove my receiver's faceplate.
Great Kit The instructions and kit parts made for the easiest stereo install ever
I have bought many head units from Crutchfield in the past and was always impressed with the kits they sent. Unfortunately, this time around, this kit that was sent with the head unit for mounting in a 2008 Xterra gives for a cheap and atrocious looking mount. Gaps can be seen around the stereo and the unit sits too far back in the opening. I now have to figure a way do do a better looking mount.
I felt the actual kit was on the flimsy side. It held the unit too far into the dash and the harness was pressed up against a bulkhead. I would have paid more for one that was a bit more studier and fit without worry.
I order this kit because I wanted to put a double din stereo on my pathfinder and this kit was completely useless, there were no parts for a double din after market stereo. I had to remove the factory brackets from the factory stereo to put on the after market stereo because the kit only works for a single din stereo. It was a waste of my money for a kit that I'm never going to use.
Poor instructions.Have installed 6 or 7 stereos over the years and this was by far the worst. Finally got it secured good but does not look close to good, but it is installed . Looks cheap and unfinished.Maybe crutchfield needs to make there own installation kits.
Fits 2006 Nissan Frontier adequately. After doing research, I found only two options for install kits for the Frontier, Metra and Scosche, so there you go. This one is from Metra. Feels flimsy at first, until completely installed. Not the best looking install kit, but then again, only one other manufacturer and that one looks the same. I do not like the storage, look unfinished.
This is the dash kit Crutchfield sent with my Alpine head unit for my 07 Nissan Xterra. It doesn't fit. the plastic bows out, it's not flush with the dash and it looks terrible. I'll be ordering a different one.
This installation kit is useless, I did not even open the bag. It was a waste of shipping cost. My Double din stero fit right in the place of the originial.
Kit installed fine, but paired with the Dual XHD7714 which has a large center dial, you can't fully flip down the front panel to put in a CD because the dial hits the bottom tray. I then remounted the receiver flush with the bottom tray and now the factory facia interferes with the receiver trim ring. End solution, I had to trim back the factory facia to fit around the receiver trim ring so that everything works as it should.
All parts fit my Nissan Frontier well, but there was no documentation on how to install I got it right through trial and error and comparison to the unit that was uninstalled. Most of the parts are not needed for the Frontier.
Although is fits the Nissan Frontier, the appearence looks unfinished., and storage tray should be lined with rubber or felt. Also it doesn't hold the head unit as firmly as I would have liked.
I bought an Alpine iDA-x305 and this kit was a perfect fit. I read other reviews and I agree the extra cover plates do not fit around the radio, but this particular radio didnt need the cover plate. It looks fine the way it is. I can't speak for other head units. The back screws lined up perfectly and it's a nice and secure fit. At least for my radio.
The kit fit easily front to back, but width wise the cover plates do not fit at all.
the back park was fine, But the front frame didn't fit, it looks kind of silly now.
Mounting Frame looks cheap and flimsy. When connecting or disconnecting IPOD connection from the stereo, it allows it to move.

The deal comes just weeks after Zockoll pulled the plug on talks with a buyout team hoping to float the company on Aim. Centrica, which wants to create a huge home services division and already has more than 1.2m plumbing and drains cover customers, said the deal would help it win more residential business.
British Gas development director Ian Peters said: 'This is a combination of two powerful brands in the home service market. We see strong growth potential.'
All the 131 staff at Dyno-Rod's Surbiton headquarters are being kept on for at least a year and Dyno-Rod's distinctive bright orange vans will also be safe.
'We are buying the leading brand in the market. To kill it off would be a strange thing to do,' Peters said.
Dyno-Rod already works as an emergency contractor for the British Gas drains and plumbing business. It has 12% of the ondemand market and 89 drains franchises covering the whole of the country.
Zockoll, 74, founded the business in 1963 after offering to clear the drains of a London hotel where he was staying. He had an 85% stake in the group and recently took it into new areas such as pest control.
News of talks with Centrica emerged almost immediately after Zockoll pulled out of buyout talks with former British Gas services executive Kevin Mahoney. He would have kept a 10% stake in the public company.
Dyno-Rod marketing director Clive Smith said Zockoll preferred Centrica's full cash deal.

Why we do what we doMature
Wonderment has failed me
This was meant to last on and on
To heal me completely
But I see now I've done it again…
Made this into way too much
And I just can't take back what I gave freely
The cost is mine to bare
The day is mine to solider on
Why do we
Do what we do
And do it over and over again
I can't seem to break the habit
It's not enough just to bend it
The consequences are still the same
Do I
Not do what I do
I'll do what I can
I just can't seem to stop longing
All I want to do is set these butterflies free.
It wasn't fair
I should of warned you
I could never just let go
It doesn't matter what is meant to be
My heart was invested in this
I know I should take what's left move on
But I know moving on just isn't enough
I don't know where to begin

The Challenge of Business Model Innovation
To create organizations that will succeed in the 21st century, association leaders must learn to embrace new ways of doing business.
In the aftermath of nearly two years of severe economic turmoil, the most significant problem facing association boards, CEOs, and senior executives today is the task of creating organizations capable of thriving in the 21st century.
Reaching this vital goal demands that associations embark on a comprehensive, dynamic, and ongoing process of reinvention, beginning with an intentional and imaginative effort to design, develop, and implement new business models (see sidebar "What Is a Business Model?" below) that fully integrate the inextricably linked pursuits of purpose and profit.
Incremental approaches are wholly inadequate to the speed and intensity of the global challenges facing our organizations.
Let's be clear from the outset: Tackling business-model innovation will not be easy, and association leaders should be under no illusions to the contrary. For a variety of reasons we will explore in this article, achieving genuine business-model innovation is a profoundly complex challenge—what we call a "wicked problem"—that defies ordinary solutions. Addressing business-model innovation in a productive and generative manner compels association leaders to reject the narrow constraints of the quasi-strategic chatter that routinely occurs in board meetings and planning sessions. Instead, leaders must elevate their thinking and expand their worldview to connect with breakthrough insights and novel ideas that will enable their organizations to reach the goal of thrivability before the end of this decade.
What Is Thrivability?
Most business-model conversations focus on the need for sustainable revenue streams from a variety of sources, including both dues and so-called "nondues" revenue. While there is nothing inherently wrong with this line of thinking, it is simply too limited for association leaders seeking the next trajectory of success.
The concept of mere financial sustainability evokes a n inherently incremental approach, a choice to do only what is feasible to keep our organizations moving mostly undisturbed along familiar pathways. But incremental approaches are wholly inadequate to the speed and intensity of the global challenges facing our organizations. At this critical moment, however, it is essential for association leaders to seek out and discover whatever is possible and necessary to achieve previously unimaginable levels of success that can inspire current stakeholders and attract the stakeholders of the future.
For this reason, I have adopted (and adapted from other online conversations) the term "thrivability," which I define in this context as "the capacity to flourish by capitalizing on the powerful forces that are irrevocably reshaping our society." Association leaders need to make explicit and enduring commitments to renew and reinvent their organizations for the 21st century—to make them thrivable.
By focusing on thrivability, association leaders must choose to abandon their fear of the profound changes taking place in our world and instead act to leverage the strategic momentum these changes produce to give their organizations maximum opportunity to reach their full potential.
Building inventive business models that can move associations closer to realizing their deeper purposes while still pursuing profitable growth must be the first item on the thrivability agenda. Our community needs leaders capable of embracing this emerging responsibility. Unfortunately, the vast majority of association leaders have never been asked to engage in the work of business-model innovation before, which means that navigating this uncharted territory will also involve overcoming several other important challenges that will test their leadership skill and resolve.
Six Leadership Challenges of Business-Model Innovation
Business-model innovation is a strategic challenge. Business-model innovation does not occur in a vacuum, nor can it be put on hold until "things get better." Even as association CEOs and senior executives manage the dynamics of their organizations' current business models within today's demanding operating context, they also must develop a deeper understanding of how increased volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity will shape their business-model innovation efforts going forward. The most promising new business-model opportunities for associations are likely to be found not in what is obvious about the world in which their stakeholders live but in developing fresh solutions to the less visible difficulties those stakeholders face both personally and professionally.
Discovering thrivable business models also requires leaders to challenge long-standing beliefs about value creation. Umair Haque, a London-based strategy consultant and blogger, urges organizations to shift from creating "thin value" to "thick value." Thick value is deep, meaningful, and enduring and is created in a manner consistent with an organization's purpose. It stands in stark contrast to thin value, which is surface level and creates purely profit-driven transactions instead of purpose-driven relationships between an organization and its stakeholders.
Associations must bring the same focus to technology leadership they have traditionally brought to advocacy, governance, and financial management.
As part of the business-model innovation process, associations need to take a careful look at how much of their current value-creation efforts are about thin rather than thick value, let go of the former, and identify new types of thick value that can fill unarticulated needs both meaningfully and profitably.
Business-model innovation is a technological challenge. The rise of the World Wide Web has wreaked havoc with the traditional association business model. Membership, education, and access to information—three of the most common value propositions and most important revenue streams found in association business models—have been disrupted by what often feels like an infinite variety of acceptable (and occasionally superior) online alternatives that can be delivered at lower cost and often free of charge to end users. Meanwhile, associations have struggled to imagine new value propositions they can offer to slow down this process of commoditization.
It is critical for boards, CEOs, and senior executives to bring the same intensity and focus to technology leadership they have traditionally brought to advocacy, governance, and financial management. The performance of both the cost and value sides of future business models will depend on the intelligent implementation of technology.
On the cost side, associations need to be aggressive in applying information technology to build powerful platforms for value creation, capture, and delivery that reduce bureaucratic complexity and amplify human creativity. On the value side, social, mobile, and other emerging technologies open new opportunities for thick-value creation. These tools are reshaping not only business processes but also the needs, preferences, and expectations of current and future stakeholders, offering associations the opportunity to design new value-driven relationships with them.
Business-model innovation is a financial challenge. The global economic meltdown has caused dramatic reductions in both investment income and direct revenue and exposed the flaws and weaknesses of current association business models. Membership renewals, meeting registrations, and business-partner support are just three income sources that have suffered during this period. For many associations, the long-term impact of economic decline on the industries and professions they serve means those revenues may never return to their previous levels. For associations facing this situation, business-model innovation must be a special priority.
But business-model innovation is not about moving from the present to the future in a single all-or-nothing leap. Rather, it is an iterative process of prototyping new models, including focused experimentation with new strategies for value creation, capture, and delivery that mitigate, manage, and, when possible, capitalize on financial and related risks. As part of this, association leaders must accept the uncomfortable truth that they cannot achieve success while completely eliminating risk. Association boards in particular must understand that at some point the work of business-model innovation may well involve an intentional choice to place current revenue streams at risk to effectively test tomorrow's more thrivable models.
Business-model innovation is a learning challenge. During the business-model innovation process, association leaders must consider what capabilities their organizations will need to create and deliver new forms of thick value. While some of those capabilities may be in place already, the successful shift from one business model to the next will depend on whether the association can build and integrate new capacity. This kind of deep and transformative learning can be difficult and time consuming, but associations can accelerate the flow of learning and knowledge through stakeholder networks and communities and make it stick by fully engaging those groups early in the business-model innovation process.
Of course, the larger challenge facing associations pursuing business-model innovation may not be learning, but "unlearning." Organizational reinvention requires more than the development and implementation of next practices, although that is a very good start. It also demands leaders closely question and actively discard obsolete organizational assumptions about past drivers of success, without denial or nostalgia. This kind of unlearning runs directly counter to the normal leadership reflex to keep on doing what we think we know is working. Instead, association leaders must act wisely to recognize ground truth and let go of outmoded beliefs so they do not interfere with the possibility of real innovation.
Business-model innovation is a social challenge. For associations, designing robust social systems in support of new business models is at least as important as the leadership response to the other challenges discussed above. Associations must be able to fully capitalize on the voluntary engagement of both individuals and stakeholder networks by discarding centralized legacy approaches in favor of more open, flexible, and dynamic practices and structures for distributed collaboration and co-creation. Moreover, technology platforms and social systems must be integrated to make engagement as convenient, simple, and meaningful as possible.
Associations can unleash the potential of new social systems by crafting trust-based, purpose-driven relationships with their stakeholders, something many organizations struggle with today. To facilitate this process and build shared expectations, associations can enter into reciprocal "terms of service" agreements with their stakeholders. Formally codifying these agreements is an explicit and tangible investment in social capital that should reduce friction and increase stakeholder cooperation in delivering on the promise of new business models.
Business-model innovation is a governing challenge. The business-model innovation process is central to what I call "the new work of governing" for associations, because only the governing group can ensure all of the other challenges presented in this article are addressed both productively and generatively. The decisions made by this group, which includes the board, the CEO, senior executives, and other voluntary leaders who contribute to governing conversations, will determine whether business-model innovation is a serious effort to create a vibrant future or nothing more than a half-measure without long-term impact.
More broadly, the thrivability of every association is directly related to the governing group's view of its stewardship responsibilities. Governing groups can prioritize the work of compliance and oversight in an effort to keep their organizations out of harm's way—or they can choose to embrace the new work of governing, build the success of the association as a commons, and act decisively to drive essential strategic risk taking, including the intentional pursuit of business-model innovation.
I stated this at the beginning of this article, but it bears repeating: Tackling the wicked problem of business-model innovation will not be easy, and association leaders should be under no illusions to the contrary. But no one has ever suggested that serving as a 21st century association leader would be easy.
The real question is whether staff and voluntary association leaders are ready to step up and take their organizations to the next level. If the answer is yes, then embracing and solving the challenges of business-model innovation as part of a long-term effort to build thrivable organizations must be the top priority. Now is the time for leaders to act, not the time to wait.

Now, THAT'S what I call a well-celebrated birthday!!! Ymmm...all sounds so
good, from garden gifts to dinner with a fresh bouquet to brighten up this
winter weather.
One year, I asked for rocks for Mother's Day and when my young daughter
shared what she and her father gave me (two loads of wonderful flat rocks
for one of my first beds), her classmates gave her very strange looks (so
she reported). After many years, she is used to my request for unusual
gifts. Got three wonderful files to sharpen pruners for Christmas.
Here's a wish that this birthday joy just spreads out to cover all of 04.

The goal of American warplanes, should they return after three years to the skies over Iraq they patrolled for the previous 20, will be to help "break the momentum" of the Islamic extremist army that threatens the viability of the Iraqi government, according to Pentagon officials.
The White House is reviewing "options" to aid Iraq against the advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis), which would stop short of sending US ground troops back to the country where nearly 4,500 of them died between 2003 and 2011.
Several officials said that a potential strike package included targets in Syria as well as Iraq, reflecting Isis' effective erasure of the border between the two countries, and would likely focus on manned warplanes, which are more capable of dynamic targeting against a mobile adversary than are Obama's signature drone attacks.
The White House is adamant that any military campaign should not be a long slog. But time is not on the side of a limited war, with Isis more exposed to attack as it travels in columns down Iraqi roads than it is or will be in cities.
"In the open, they're vulnerable, but as soon as they get into an urban environment, the last thing we need is US fixed-wing [aircraft] trying to help Iraqi security forces trying to fight Isis in an urban combat scenario," said Christopher Harmer of the Institute for the Study of War.
Obama made it clear on Friday that any such strike would be dependent upon a viable Iraqi government plan for sustainable, nonsectarian security. But the president has said little about what he wants to accomplish, and the Pentagon added little.
"There is a near-term objective here to try to help Iraq break this momentum," said Rear Admiral John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, briefing reporters. He used variations on that formation at least four times to describe the likely mission, but declined repeated requests to define the term. The closest he came was to note that Isis was "clearly interested in geographic gains".
Kirby's formulation should sound familiar. In 2009, unveiling his Afghanistan troop surge, Obama said: "We will pursue a military strategy that will break the Taliban's momentum."
The phrase is a masterpiece of messaging. Everyone who hears it thinks they know what it means. But as a declaration of a military objective, it is slippery and noncommittal. It stops well short of declaring to destroy an enemy, take territory away from him or other tangible goals.
But as the Afghanistan war showed, it has an overriding advantage: no one can ever say it has not been achieved. "The tide has turned," Obama said in May 2012, announcing the end of the surge. "We broke the Taliban's momentum."
On his own terms, Obama wasn't exactly wrong. The Taliban holds less territory than it did in 2009. Yet its insurgency persists, and may well expand after the US leaves Afghanistan in 2016 – much as Isis became the force it now is after the US left Iraq in 2011, the Syrian civil war raged unabated and Iraq's governance descended into sectarian authoritarianism.
Yet the fixation on Isis' "momentum" reflects the reticence Obama feels about getting dragged back into the Iraqi morass. Early in the week, when Isis overran Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, White House spokesman Josh Earnest lectured the Iraqis to "step up". By Friday, after entire divisions of the US-built Iraqi army had run from the fight, Obama said that whatever military assistance he authorizes will be contingent on Iraqi leaders' "willingness to make hard decisions and compromises on behalf of the Iraqi people in order to bring the country together."
Obama sounded more like a man preparing himself to buy a used car than a commander preparing to order pilots into danger. The reluctance stems from the obvious perils of reengaging in the Iraq war, but his congressional critics seized on it.
"I will not support a one-shot strike that looks good for the cameras but has no enduring effect," said Representative Buck McKeon, the California Republican who chairs the House armed services committee.
Obama will decide within days if the US will, however reluctantly or temporarily, resume one of its most bitter wars. It seems a long time ago that Obama said, on 27 May: "It's time to turn the page on more than a decade in which so much of our foreign policy was focused on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq."
But Isis has helped break Obama's momentum.

Northeast Amateur tees off; State Amateur field is set
PROVIDENCE — The field for the 109th playing of the Rhode Island State Amateur Championship next month is set after the third and final qualifying round was played Monday, June 9, at North Kingstown Golf Club.
A total of 42 players earned their way into the State Am, scheduled for July 7-11 at Montaup Country Club in Portsmouth, at Quonset Point Monday. Included among them were several players with local ties, led by Wannamoisett's Dan Lynch and Jamie Griffiths along with Metacomet's Eric Marchetti. Each shared eighth place with four-over rounds of 74.
Don Wright of West Warwick was the day's medalist, carding a two-under 68.
Another trio of locals — Matthew Corio and Tyler of Wannamoisett as well as Metacomet's Jeff Maher — qualified by sharing 13th at five-over, 75.
City resident Jim Rose, playing out of Swansea C.C., and Wannamoisett's Jeff Giguere tied for 18th at 76. Mike Pierard, of Wannamoisett, finished T24 at 77. Chris Chartier, of Metacomet, qualified with an eight-over, 78. Agawam Hunt's Ben Donaldson was among the final players to qualify, sharing 40th with two others at nine-over, 79.
Those at North Kingstown Monday knew going in the top 41 players and ties would advance to the State Am. They joined players who receive automatic berths due to past performance, such as Metacomet's Brad Valois (2011 and 2013) and Wannamoisett's Charlie Blanchard (2012), the winners of the last three State Ams, and those who punched their tickets last month at qualifiers held at West Warwick and Fenner Hill.
City native and Wannamoisett member Ethan Zexter, shared medalist honors at West Warwick on May 21, carding the same even-par round of 70 as Quidnessett's Trevor Wellen.
Metacomet's Ricky Audette qualified fifth there with a five-over, 75. City resident Chris Holland, playing out of Swansea, shot a 76. The top 16 players and ties qualified at West Warwick.
The top 14 players and ties qualified for the State Am, May 28, at Fenner Hill in Hope Valley. Former champ Ben Tuthill (2000), of Wannamoisett and the new tournament director of the Northeast Amateur Invitational there, qualified in second place with a four-over round of 76.
His clubmates Dave Apuzzo (80), Andrew Jankowski (82) and Taylor Harrington (82) also earned a spot through Fenner Hill as did Metacomet's Greg Lakeway.
More RIGA notes
Agawam Hunt's Tom Acciardo and Dr. George Pirie teamed to win the Senior Four-Ball Championship, May 19-20, at Crestwood in nearby Rehoboth. The pair shot a 12-under, 130 over two rounds.
Kyle Hoffman and Ryan Pelletier teamed to win the 65th Four-Ball Championship played locally at Metacomet and also at Warwick C.C. The team shot seven-under 63 at Metacomet and and a four-under, 65 at Warwick. Blanchard and Griffiths were the runners-up, two shots off the pace at nine-under, 130.
Northeast Amateur dates
The 53rd Annual Northeast Am returns to Wannamoisett Wednesday, June 18, through Saturday, June 21.
The No. 1-ranked junior player in the world, Dallas high school senior and USGA Junior champion Scottie Scheffler, leads the list of competitors.
Reigning Northeast champ Cory Whitsett, who helped the University of Alabama win its second national championship a few weeks ago, qualified to play the U.S. Open in Pinehurst, N.C. and will not be back to defend. Valois, Blanchard and Wannamoisett club champ Dan Blessing will also be among the competitors.
High school notes
Lily Zexter, the younger sister of the aforementioned Ethan, helped the Moses Brown team to the 2014 Rhode Island Interscholastic League State Championship late last month at Cranston Country Club.
The Quakers, paced by individual state champ Will Dickson's three-under, 139 total, finished with a two-day score of 63-over, 631. Portsmouth finished second, 10 shots off the pace. Zexter, playing from the forward tees, shot rounds of 87-85. Corio helped LaSalle to a third-place team finish (+72) and was the runner-up to Dickson with a two-round score of 11-over, 153.
Zexter finished ninth at the 2014 Rhode Island Girls' Individual State Tournament held last week at its annual home of Point Judith Country Club. South Kingstown's Mia Bartolo shot a six-over 78 to win the event. Bay View's Caroline Letendre and Daria Delfino finished T6 and eighth, respectively.

Could this look be achieved with my body type? (Photo)
I am looking to get a bbl within the next year (saving still) and I wanted to know what my realistic outcome will be. I am about 150 pounds in the middle of a weight loss (about 18 pounds and I don't plan to stop) I know the look I want is not achievable by just doing squats. Could I get "washboard abs" with this procedure? Also, will this cause you to lose weight?

Thank you for your question. From your photos, you appear to be an excellent candidate for Vaser Hi definition liposculpture with fat grafting to the buttocks. You should get a great result from liposculpture, giving you a more contoured and hourglass shape with better projection to your buttocks. I have done many body contouring procedures and specialize in Vaser Hi Definition liposculpture. Vaser Hi Definition body sculpting requires extensive specialized training. I am one of few surgeons in the United States that was personally trained by Dr. Alfredo Hoyos, the surgeon that developed this technique. Vaser Hi Definition liposuction uses the concepts of negative and positive spaces in relation to the underlying bony and muscle anatomy to define areas such as your six pack and create an athletic looking physique. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Tummy tuck, some advices:
Thanks for the question.In this regard, I'm totally agree with you, therefore i recommend you a Tummy Tuck with muscle repair, to get a flat abdomen and waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour. Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).Kind regards
A BBL can be performed to harvest fat from areas that are available to then place it into the buttocks. It will not likely lead to washboard abs.
