I had my alpine installed "professionally" now the radio literally floats in the din plus size hole. I have now moved 1700 miles away and have no recouse. How do I fix this? Right now I have some business cards acting as a shim. Week but it works.

You need a facia adaptor. I ordered mine here from mikeythemini who's shipping it to Canada from the UK, I believe it's an Autoleads facia. I also got the various other adaptors from him too. Scosche makes one as well but I haven't come across anyone that has actually used it.

I got myself an Alpine as well. Alpine CDA-7894, can't wait until the facia etc get here so that I can get the damn thing installed. The wait is killing me!

Try contacting Crutchfields to see if they have a fascia adaptor
