eclipse avn5500

Ok I need some help. I have a 2003 F-250 and I want to install an eclipse avn5500. I called 2 dealers, one says it will go in no problem, the other says it will not fit. Has anyone put one of these in a truck like mine ? If so what install kits do i need. Pics would be great too. Thanks for any help you can give. I don't want to spend all that cash and find out I have to hack my truck up to put it in.

It will fit with minor triming of the plastic, about 1/8". Check out my gallery for pics of the AVN5495 in a 04' Excursion.

That looks real good, which Din kit did you use? Did you have to trim the plastic around the din kit or the hole that the stock radio came out of.

You have to trim the plastic to open up the hole that the stock radio came out of. The guy that did my install doesn't like the way the "off the shelf" trim kit fits so he made his own to fit perfectly in the opening. Most people that have seen the system think it's factory because it's such a clean install.
