ashleyqprw12 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Fitted a kenwood double din head unit. nightmare from the start! in the end i've run my own wiring for the speakers and sub! Anyway it fits ok but the facia i had was a terrible fit! gaps im not so bothered about but it wouldn't fit inside the dash! does anyone have a link for one they could send me? Quote

ashleyqprw12 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 have you actually got this fitted? as it's the same brand i got and that didn't fit Quote
spursmaddave Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Have you mounted the kenwood to the car via the brackets or to the centre console like the OEM stereo. My JVC stuck out because it is motorised for the CD player, I never play CDs so i drilled holes in the mount and fitted it further back and therefore flush Quote

ashleyqprw12 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 i've used the mounts the bose was attatched to? not sure what they are actually called, may order the linked one then, mines cracked anyway trying to get it in, worth another go, it fits in nicely in the dash, just the facia surround doesnt fit in the gap Quote

My JVC stuck out because it is motorised for the CD player, I never play CDs so i drilled holes in the mount and fitted it further back and therefore flush i ve found that if you use the o/e brackets on the new h/unit and then refit into the car not to the facia its a lot easier to fit. done several members zeds like this now.

BulletMagnet Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I used the incartec one with no issues. I did however mount my HU it the brackets so it stays put when removing the centre console Quote

Mutley88 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 +1 fit all the centre console together out of the car less of a stress too. Quote

Exactly Screw everything into the car and then just fit the centre console on last, much much easier that way Quote
