Hello Everyone,
I'm having issues trying to figure out what size screws will hold the metal frame/bracket altogether. I received the wrong power cable but that got sorted with Meke. They mentioned to install the screws on the picture provided below, however the provided screws do not secure and lock the mounting bracket onto the new dash panel. Does anyone know what size these holes or screws will hold the bracket?

These are the two bags of screws that came with the radio kit but do not fit the designated holes.

This is the metal bracket in question.

Do you have this kind of screw?

dudu-lai I do not have those. Are those specific to hold the frame together securely? I was advised by Meke to get M3.8 screws but haven't been able to find any. I don't see any threads in the panel itself so I'm uncertain if these will work. The ones I've tried were all too loose and small. The nearest hardware store has M3.5. I'm heading over there to try and see if it will fit for this application. What size is the screw the image you provided?

dudu-lai It didn't work. That size fits the side threads but not the one I'm trying to use for the metal bracket.

The other bag of screws only fit here.

This is the only screw that fits and it's one of the ones that came already installed on to the radio itself. No clue on what size it is. I'll update once I figure it out or once the return is processed, whichever is faster.

These are M2.5.

I ordered some online hoping they fit. The hardware store only had M2 & M3. Just my luck ⛈️. Any idea on what's supposed to connect to the back of the radio and into the physical buttons? Nothing I have fits into that port.
