    The lower dash that holds the radio bezel is part number D3DB 6204644-AWA and the bezel I have on the shelf is part number D3DA-18842-CB. I was surprised to see the two parts are not compatible (see pic). Can anyone supply me with the correct part? Also, can anyone tell me how the factory radio is supported from the back. I see the threaded bolt coming out of the back of the radio. I guess there should be a metal strap but what does it connect to. Thanx. IMG_1906sm.jpg

    Yes there is a metal bracket in the rear. I have one if you need it.

    I have never seen a radio bezel like that that didn't fit a dash opening like that. I know the metal radio bezel screws directly to the metal upper dash.
