Radio faceplates

[avdrummerboy]

Hey all,

The next vehicle I get I plan on getting with radio installation in mind (something like a truck or SUV.) That being said, I had a few questions on console installs, as right now my install is just screwing radio brackets wherever they will fit!

Does anyone know a good place to order radio faceplates and other parts online, or is it primarily a custom distributer based part buy. Also, are radio faceplates at all universal, in other words, will a jottodesk faceplate fit into a Troy console or vice versa?

Thanks for any help/ suggestions.

Ebay is a good source. I found all my face plates there.

I've keep a fairly constant eye on ebay lol, but most of what is used and available is moto stuff, I'm a Kenwood guy.

I do not think Jotto Desk/Troy/Havis faceplates and consoles interchange. (Kind of like Ford parts do not work on Chevrolets).

All the faceplates I've ordered were from Havis and I just called and said I need one for whatever radio I had and they sent the ones that fit them. A lot of radios can use the universal ones but when in doubt I let them send me what they knew worked. I'm pretty sure they have menus on their website with all the normal stuff and if you need anything odd or special you can take measurements and they'll make it work.
