there's not much room at the back of the dash so the wires will need a bit of help for clearance..... I actually removed the glovebox for better access on mine, a bit of playing and it will go!!

so uve got ur head unit in ur glove box??

[boneybradley]

no it's in the normal place..it's just that because space is limited i found it easier removing the glovebox for access

[hawkesy226]

oh rite u put the glove box bk in afta? so how did u remove the thing? does it just cum out?? thanx m8

[boneybradley]

for the glovebox there's a few simple bolt's (6 or 8mm i think) first on the undertray and then and the on the glovebox itself and the box just drops out

jus popped another alpine in my mk 3 today, its tight but if u push all the wiring under the cage (so they will be under the stereo unit) it fits no probs
