hey guys im looking at getting a headunit for my car.
this is the cd player i got in there atm



im guessing i got to buy something like this?



along with this



dose anyone know where i can pick these up from? so i have something that looks like this.



well not exactly like that but it the only picture i could find lol

cheers

Try fleabay & Halfords.

Dont need to buy the dash thing I dont think, just cut the 'bars' between the bits of CD player. If I dont make sense it will when you take the cd player out I hope

if ur looking for a head unit then try halfords they have got a flip up sat nav for £300 was £600 and it looks the part

Some times the dash fascias crop up on ebay. Just beware they can go for silly money, just found this on ebay

I'm sure 'Dan The Man' can help you out here, maybe wrong, but where is he on a Saturday night...

Has anyone got any pics of a pre facelift with the bars cut and aftermarket headunit fitted, in thinking of cutting mine to fit a new headunit

Can you just cut them yourself then? Will it make it look tacky? Would save me a few pennys if not those ones on ebay are good

I've done it:

remove the facia (pain in the bum with the heater knob)

cut the slats out. mines more obvious than standard as i have the "piano black" facia that is basically a thick sticker, makes getting the edges right a pain. wouldnt trade it for a bland standard one though.

use the autoleads adaptor as seen at the top of the thread. for single din leave the middle slat of the adaptor in situ, for double din cut it out.

the adaptor comes with a storage pocket for those who want single din. however its finish is poor. I went to the scrappy and removed the storage part from a mk3 fiesta centre console which is din sized, trim the clipping on the body slightly and it looks far better as its geniune ford and has a better finish.

see pics: I had a single din with fiesta mk3 storage, now i have a pioneer double din with bluetooth, rear usb, full ipod control and telephone function (mic located on A-pillar) its the dogs and is only £237 from dynamic sounds.

mk3 storage


cut middle adaptor slat for double din


sweet


i really need a dremel or something to clean the edges up slightly, but tbh it lokos better in the flesh.

I've tried to get mine out but I just cant seem to get the heater cable off I'm too scared I'll brake something

cheers for that mate just what i was looking for
p.s your pioneer system looks the nuts i wont one haha

i am able to help

Kev i had a very busy weekend, including a trip to Santa Pod today

i cut the bars out and fitted mine in



it wasnt very hard to cut them and you cant even notice they were there

yes dan you are the man you did a very neat job of that how did you cut it? and where you get your unit from??

I have a dash for sale for £25 +P&P or can pick up as I'm not that far from you
Thats if you don't want to cut the dash
Just taken it back out of my car
Got the other fascia bit as well but thats for a double din not a single din

yes adam hook me up
