Hi guys seen this double din had a play In-store and it's pretty cool.
Anyone else got/had this? Just wondering if it's a do-er don't-er.
And how easy/difficult are these doubles to fit?

Not hard to fit assuming you already have the space to fit a double din.

Hi,

Alongside the above, i`m about to go for an Alpine W235BT double din in my MK4, do i need anything else? I already have a blaupunkt queens mp56 in there so not stock unit installed at the moment. Would i need anything else e.g. double din cage? Cables etc? Facia plate?

Cheers,

The Alpine should come with a cage and go straight in using the existing ISO plug.

In in the process of researching double dins. I'm leaning towards Pioneer's AppRadio range. Full screen touch screen (7"), compatible with iPhones, iPods, Android etc. and looks/sounds great for the money. New AppRadio 2s are around £200.
