Not sure if this has been done before but I have never seen it. This week my Missus and kids bought me a Double Din CD/DVD/Sat Nav unit I had been looking for for a while. Spent the best part of two days putting this into the car. Would not reccomend doing this as it caused me to swear quite a bit and took a load of effort to fit as one problem occured after another. Still all worth it in the end I think. Now I get the Sat Nav on the dash rather than using my phone while I drive and get the bonus of hands free built in as well :grin: :grin: Anyway heres some pics I just took.....just got one last job to do which is to build a box for the Air Con switch and the Rear Heated Screen switch which I have routed the wiring to the centre console ready for but the pub was calling this afternoon so that will have to wait :grin: :grin:

Fits well but I have still yet to make the new mask for it...just ran out of time over the weekend. Will be done soon.
-
Good idea. Looks abit out of place though.
But as you say once you have made the surround will look better. :cool:
-
Different, but you can get the slide out ones that do the same thing and look tidy, plus there not a pikey magnet that way
-
Sorry but that doesn't look right at all. It just looks like it's hanging from the face of the dash and overhanging the switchgear pus the fact it has massive slots down each side of it. :huh:
-
The slots down the side will be gone when I get the chance to make a new mask. I have the materials but just need the time. Will look loads better then but I now have another idea running through my head :smug:

I'd like a double din stereo but have yet to see a good enuff place to fit it. Good work tho bud. Post some pics of it finished :afro:
-
Respect for actually doing it, but I'm sorry I think it looks pants
-
erm why didnt you put it in the cubby hole infront of the gear stick?

Because I wanted it dash mounted for easier use of Sat Nav and cubby hole has been done plenty of times before.

OK Mate.....I will be in Saturday finishing off the dash so if you want to pop round then :wink:

As it stands buddy in not a fan. I hope whatever you've got planned works and finishes it off.

I got Saturday off mate, so ill pop round.
Getting a whistle noise coming from the front right now.....
I had some work done in winter, for a similar noise, forgot what the problem was,,,but it cost me £150, so it better not be the same problem!
