clarion double din cage

I bought a car that doesn't typically have a double din radio, but by using the dash panels from another model, can be made to use a DD. Anyways, this car came with a NEW Clarion DUZ385SAT stereo. Was in a box, the clear covering still on the display, harness still new and wrapped, etc., but no mounting cage. I couldn't find a part number anywhere for a cage for this model and the ones I did find, listed a 2DBKT, like THIS Will this take the place of the cage or is this just a universal install trim panel? If not....does anyone know where I can get a cage for this? Thanks in advance

what car? if the clarion doesnt come with a cage then it might not be compatible with a cage, just because it fits around the radio doesnt mean it will lock in securely and that can be dangerous. depending on what car you are referring to you might be able to find a certain dash kit that also takes care of mounting the radio. sometimes i make my own mounting brackets on the side of the radio and mount it directly to the opening.

I'm not sure if it came with a cage or not. This unit is definitely new, but not in its original box, so no way to tell. There wont be a kit for this car because it never came with a double din opening - its something some people do by using another model's dash panels (that had double din). I fabbed one several years back to move my climate controls down low and add 3 VDO gauges up top. But I kind of figure I may have to make my own - BTDT before. I may even get the kit I linked to just to have a fascia to use for the opening/custom trim.

The kit looks pretty universal. Crutchfield sells it also. You can read their reviews there. They even have pictures of what comes in the box as well as it being installed on a Pioneer radio. Here's the link to that: Pictures

Oh, and according to Crutchfield, that Clarion didn't come with a DD cage.

i wanted to know what car because a lot of times you can frankenstein a kit from other kits and it can be better than just sticking it in a universal trim that you will have to cut and make fit. ive taken single din kits before and cut the middle out to make a double din trim thats vehicle specific.

Clarion double din headunits do not come with a cage. they are only able to be iso-mounted which the majority of mounting kits are set up that way anyhow
