Default 2 Din with only a 6cm Depth

I bought two of those unbranded deckless 2DIN units from China (7010B) one for my ZT, and one for SWMBO MPV.

Models are: 7010B, 7012B and 7018B, available from ebay, Amazon, Alibaba, Aliexpress and other China wholesale sites for as little as £34.00.

Non GPS Models. UK Seller.
7080B £39.99 + £7.99 P&P 7" Screen - 6cm depth.

Non GPS Models. China Seller.
7010B £33.39 7" Screen - 6cm depth as pictured below.

7012B £35.59 7" Screen - 12cm Depth. Some sellers sell this model as a 6cm depth).

7018B £45.50 + £3.99 P&P 7" Screen - 6cm Depth. UK Seller.

7023B £40.45 7" Screen - 6cm Depth - Updated Version.

7651D £41.75 6.5" Screen - 6CM Depth - Controls on either side.

GPS Model China Seller.
7021G £56.04 7" Screen - 6cm Depth.

GPS Model UK Seller.
7021G £58.00 7" Screen - 6cm Depth.

Android & GPS Model UK Seller.
RK701 £74.04 + £15.99 P&P 7" Screen - 6cm Depth.

Superb little units for the cheap money paid, I cant believe how good the sound is from these things (4x60W). I didn't know the standard MG Rover speakers had that much power to give, incredible bass, more volume than I know what to do with.

The unit only measures 6cm in depth, super slim, fits in nicely. But! I had to shave around the opening on the black CT23RO01 fascia, I used a Stanley knife and tidied up with sanding gently around the edge, worked a treat.

Due to the unit being so slim and very lightweight, I only needed to use two 4" metal corner braces to secure the unit to the fascia, fits in nice and snug.

Things you will need to get you going...

1: CT23RO01 Rover 75/MG ZT Fascia Plate.
CT23RO01 Rover 75 1999 - 2005 Double Din Car Stereo Radio Fascia. The fascia has an opening of 172mm, the 2DIN measures 178mm. You will need to shave 3mm from either side, and maybe 1.5mm from along the top.

2: PC2-05-4 Rover 75/MG ZT ISO Loom from 1999 on.
PC2-05-4 Rover 25 45 75 ISO Stereo Head Unit Harness Adaptor Wiring Loom Lead. This Rover loom does not come with the 'PINK' reaview camera wire or the 'ORANGE/BLACK steering wheel control wire, so you will have to manually insert these two wires yourself (this can be done by either using the supplied original ISO loom that came with the 2DIN unit, or you can purchase a donor ISO loom for a few pounds (link below).

3: Male to Female ISO Loom (Donor) if needed.
You can buy a Standard ISO Loom, you can then unclip 2x wires from it and use on the PC2-05-4 ISO harness, this is for the rearview camera, and the second wire is for the steering wheel controls.

4: PC5-27 ISO Plug to DIN Aerial Antenna Adaptor.
PC5-27 ISO Plug to DIN Aerial Antenna Adaptor For Car Radios.

5: If you want, you can use the original ISO loom that comes with the 2DIN unit, but the wires are bare at one end (same with all aftermarket stereos). You can cut and connect to the cars harness using bullet connectors. I myself would rather plug and play and incorporate the 'PINK' reaview camera wire, and the 'ORANGE/BLACK steering Wheel Control wire. You can always use the ISO loom that came with the 2DIN unit as the donor loom, use the 'PINK' rearview camera wire, and the ORANGE/BLACK SWC wire.

6: 2x 4" Metal corner braces to secure the unit to the fascia plate, or use another idea you may have, some have used a hot melt glue gun.

7: Couple of 5mm or 10mm M4 bolts to attached the metal corner brackets to the unit using the threaded holes. If using 10mm bolts you may want to use a nut as a spacer.

8: Micro SD/TF Memory Card or/and a USB Memory Stick/Flash Drive of your choice, these units use upto a 32GB card/stick. These can be purchased from ebay, Amazon, Ebuyer, Argos, Currys etc for as little as £7.00.

9: If you want to install a rearview camera, HERE are some options and the one that I chose.

Here are some pics, if only you could hear the sound, its incredible 100 times better than the standard Philips Harmony.















UPDATE! SWC...
Thanks to Trevor for being the first to connect the steering wheel controls, POST #103.

PM sent.

I have this little gem to wire up, a rear camera with a metal chrome housing. It should fit up under the rear boot trim, I also bought a rear bumper camera, so not sure as yet which type to fit.

Sadly no GPS and no DAB radio, considering I only paid £26.00 using a discount code I cant quibble for what it does, especially the sound quality.

Linky! HERE! £33.39, normally selling between £40 & £50.

Delivery from China only took 12 days, came with the regular Royal Mail, had no import duty or taxes to pay.
