Aftermarket radio mounting

Searched. Hi guys. I've had an aftermarket radio in my S4 for some time now. It's never been properly mounted, and before I get it back on the road, I aim to fix it. Back when I bought my car, it did not come with the factory radio bracket. So, my question is, do you guys use the factory bracket, or is there a good aftermarket kit available? Should I source an factory bracket and go from there?

I've used the cheap plastic one that bolts to the four holes in the front, and the fit is horrible, plus the arms/holes end up breaking, due to not having any rear support.

Thanks

Does your receiver have its sleeve?

The sleeve should bolt up to the dash frame work then you just slide your receiver into place and it should lock.

It doesn't bolt up. There is no stock bracket, or anything to bolt an aftermarket cage to.

I found a stock bracket for sale for a very good price, thanks for the advice though.
