Just installed a Pioneer DEH-P3000IB into my 1991 Mazda 626 with the supposedly ' Vehicle Specific' mounting kit. I will live with the results however the kit is not specific to my 1991 - 626 as I now have a fairly large gap at the bottom where a storage bin was located. The factory head unit was a 1-1/2 DIN and the aftermarket kit is a 2 DIN which did not allow for the re-install of the original storage bin. I just wonder is there a way to modify the new mounting kit that would allow me to install the old storage bin.

I looked at the instructions for the trim kit and went with the setup for a Mazda 323 as the OEM Head Unit was the same size as well the layout was
similar, bin at the bottom. Also got a link from the Pioneer website for Metraonline.com the instructions were similar to what I mentioned before of
removing the bottom cross-bar and trim the lower side plates of the retainer. Better now as the storage bin is back in place, but I can't place
the trim plate around the deck as it pushes the factory stack out to far and the one that comes with the kit fits in to loose. (perhaps a little silly
putty, lol)  Maybe I'll see if Ican cut up a piece from the kit to fill the small space under the deck trim somehow and attach it with putty also.
