Sean DD cover disguise?

[HarryM1BYT]

It's not often I leave the car in an 'exposed' area, but I'm conscious of the fact that the DD unit might attract theft.

In my last car, rather than pull the satnav out - I fitted in down below the radio in the console and wired to an external antenna which itself was stashed behind the visor out of sight. When leaving the car, I would stash a map between the satnav and gearstick to hide it from prying eyes.

[Getting to the point...]

One idea I've seen on ebay is a thin plastic cover to disguise a similar DD unit, to look like a standard stereo radio. Has anyone found something similar which will fit the Sean DD?

I got the exact same one, looks like it should be in a focus or something.
The only problem is that mine dont fit on because of the eyebrow

Suppose it does look like an air con vent :D:D

I wonder how many people have told their insurance company about their DD? And what it did to the premium if they have?

Quite a loss if it gos walkies,

[suffolk boy]

which is the reason i will never fit one of these units i would not sleep at night! there are now some pioneer units coming on the market that have a removable front also may easier install for the likes of of me .who is to wiring skills as much as adolf hitler was to human kindness

Looks like this could be a great idea, if it fits............who's first to try it?

In my opinion this one would "attract" attention if anything,it looks like exactly what it is,a cover for a DD.
I think the design of the first one is far more plausible,shame it dosen't miss the eyebrow.

in my opinion, if they are going to break in, they will, weather it's to raid the glovebox or nick the stereo, either way hiding it is a waste, imho these false covers look naff, are naff and wouldnt fool a seasoned thief.

I make you right on that.

Mine is not a daily driver and is garaged when not in use so at least the risk is minimised.Or at least it will be when fitted :)

Not much point in worrying about the seasoned thief, most likely scenario is a break in by someone who spots in passing an expensive looking bit of equipment on open display.

As mine is hanging out totally useless I am hoping a for a quick snatch ;)

probably a case of damned if you do and damned if you dont
