probably not unless you can find a din sized tray.

It will fit an aftermarket HU .. Some of the TPC guys have done this mod already..

But we didn't install it like jtown.. we put the afc a bit inner so u have to cut a hole from the top and bottom and just fit the afc in there..

ahh **** ... my bad ... been busy.

Anyway, here goes. Assuming you have the Accord tray and stock head unit, here's what to do(or what I did):

I used a dremel and a file to cut down most of the plastic. The first thing I cut was the sides of the tray. It's too big to fit in the stock bracket so I had to trim these down. The middle hole is what you want to keep for the screw locations.

Next, I cut the trim around the head unit and tray area. It's the bordering piece of plastic that holds the two metal brackets. The bottom needs to be trimmed down. I needed to make two cuts where the tray needed to go lower. If you have the tray it's a lot easier to see what I mean. The two rectangle cuts are where the hinges are on the tray.

Then I just cut out a hole for the VAFC. You can do this anyway you like either the way I did it or you can set it back like a cm or so. Either way, just cut out a hole for the VAFC.

Then to keep the VAFC in place, I bought a 90 degree metal bracket from home depot. It fit perfect and it had holes in it. I lined it up how I wanted to and then drilled holes in the tray to keep it in place. I should have taken pics of this part for you guys ... sorry. Then I just used 3M tape to hold the vafc to the bracket.

That's about it. If you actually have the tray it's a lot easier to see what you need to cut and ****. It's kinda hard to explain it, but it's really common sense with what you need to cut.

good luck and lemme see pics.

Here is the way to do it with out having to buy anything..

you should use a marker to draw the outline of the top and bottom of the vafc on the tray..

i put the vafc like very close to the front.. 0.5 cm away from top of the tray... you should get the picture when you have the tray infront of you..

DO NOT cut out the side of the tray.. just cut out top and bottom big enought to fit the vafc inside.. you will notice that the vafc have a power cord therefore you have to cut a hole from the front bottom of the tray to the back of the tray to run the cord out..

once that is done.. you can fit the vafc right into the tray and if you didn't cut the hole too big.. it should hole the vafc in place very good..

hope this help some of you guys..
