In this review the CACHE Kit987 Bundle is evaluated as a straightforward solution for owners of 1999-2006 Honda CRV who want to fit a single-din aftermarket radio. The bottom line: this bundle is for drivers seeking a no-frills, vehicle-matched dash mounting kit plus wiring supplies that simplify installation without modifying the factory dash. It excels at providing the physical dash kit, a harness that plugs into the vehicle wiring, and butt connectors to secure wiring, making the job accessible to DIYers and independent installers alike.

Key Features

• Dash Mounting Kit: Designed and contoured to match the factory dashboard so the installed radio sits flush and looks factory-style.
• Wire Harness: Provides plug-and-play connections to the vehicle harness to avoid cutting factory wires and speed up installation.
• Butt Connectors: Includes CACHE butt connectors to create secure splices for non-matching wire ends and maintain solid electrical connections.
• High-Grade Materials: Dash kit is made from heavy-duty ABS plastic with a factory texture to resist fading and fit reliably in the dash opening.
• Compatibility: Built specifically for 1999-2006 Honda CRV models to ensure the mounting and harness align with factory connectors and dash openings.

Who It's For

This bundle is aimed at DIY installers and independent shops working on 1999-2006 Honda CRV vehicles that have the standard factory radio setup and want a tidy single-din aftermarket install. It fits owners who prefer a simple plug-and-play harness and a matching dash bezel so the new head unit looks integrated.

It is not intended for vehicles with premium sound systems, rear tuners, or setups that rely on retained steering wheel controls, OnStar or door chimes; anyone needing those retained functions should look for a harness with those specific retention features or a vehicle-specific premium audio solution.
