Abstract: A mounting kit having dual compatibility for mounting either a single DIN component or a double DIN component. The mounting kit includes a combination aperture large enough to receive a double DIN component. A removable member extends horizontally between the left vertical side and the right vertical side of the combination aperture. The removable member is attached to the vertical sides by severable joints. The removable member divides the combination aperture into a single DIN aperture suitable for mounting a single DIN component and an auxiliary aperture configured to receive an auxiliary device, such as a pocket. The removable member may be removed from the combination aperture to mount a double DIN type component.
