I was very conflicted after reading reviews, but I bought this anyway. I installed in a 2004 Honda Accord, manual AC controls, installed a Pyle double din 7" screen stereo. Also I had the old single din version of this dash kit for years, this kit resolves all the issues I had with that kit. For the price this is a great looking way to customize your dash and install an updated stereo.I'm going to bullet point things that I would have found informative prior to buying:1. (Good) It is backlit, despite what other users said. I uploaded user pics of this kit in the dark, hopefully they are added.2. (Good) There are plugs on the back for either the manual AC or the Auto, I used the manual version for my car and it works flawlessly. Both the driver and passenger side control the temp and all functions are relatively easy to activate.3. **edit** Apparently this was due to the stereo I bought being larger than a standard double din. (Retracted) The double din slot DID NOT fit the Pyle double din stereo I bought. I used a dremel to remove 1/4" of plastic around the hole and it fit the double din radio perfectly, looks flawless without using a stereo trim panel.4. (Good) Programming the unit is done after you have it all wired up. I simply held the indicated button for 10 seconds, then left it alone for 2 minutes while it set itself.5. (Good) Changing the color of the main LED works great. You can customize the day color and night color independently of each other.6. (Surprising) You do have to cut and discard a 6 inch bottom V plastic piece from the factory plastic dash piece that remains. This piece is immediately over the stock bottom flip open compartment and if you restored back to stock it would not be visible. There is no other way to fit a double din slot without doing this, so it is necessary. I was going to dremel this, but a hacksaw made a cleaner cut and took 2 seconds.7. (Good) This kit included the wiring harness for the dash kit AND a stock Honda radio patch kit. I had saved the old one I had, but was happy to use the new one instead.8. (Good) Forget buying the optional shelf underneath. The stock shelf takes a little maneuvering the get back in there and the door is not able to open/close any longer due to the lack of space above it. Despite this it looks and fits great and retains a factory look while it is open.9. Wiring is all color coded and uses the standardized colors used in all aftermarket radio harnesses. This is extremely simple. I was able to install the stereo in the dash and solder+heatshrink all but 2 connections before installing this into my car. The two connections I had to solder in the car were my mono amp's signal wire and a parking brake ground wire specific to my stereo.
