Seems like you could easily adapt it for a 2 din fitting.

Any prefered model? I assume its to be used in the UK (for PAL settings)?

I'm in no hurry. Did'nt look that deep into the spec's of the units, but we use PAL in Sweden as well. Send me an Email when it's time and i'll sort it out then. Just looked into a singel Din unit with Bluetooth and a 4" TouchScreen..it's tempting but not as much at as double DIN.

That's looking fantastic ;D Still not got round to buying mine; life is somewhat on hold as I am still doing my professional exams

Work work and work Keith. Don't become a junior Doctor in a Hospital, what ever you do...

Other wise been keeping very well! The ZTT's looking good, despite the best efforts of local tradesmen (cement dust induced paint damage, arrrgh!) and parking dings from myopic yummy muumys dropping off Tarquin at the local primary school (and no, they didn't leave details!!! >

)

Thanks for that link - found that earlier today. Looks interesting, but possibly the wrong shape for a double DIN DVD? Mind you, perhaps nothing that a dremel couldn't sort out?

How's your fleet?

2 part epoxy putty sets hard as rock and very adhesive.

The diagram (I made very quickly) shows how the head unit protrudes. Using foam board, metal, wood or anything else, it can sit flush next to the head unit and the putty can be used to bring the contours of the head unit to the contours of the facia together.
I'm having difficulty putting this into words so I hope it makes sense.

thanks for the info m8 here is the start of mine

and heres it fitted

Nice work! May I ask, before going off to invest in a cheap fascia adapter, where do you get foam board, putty etc?

Also, I note that your Nav system sits quite a long way out front of the fascia panel? Is this a necessity, or the way you designed the mounting? Ideally, I'd like to get mine flush with the bottom of the panel at least...

Oh, and which unit have you fitted? I'm seriously thinking about getting a Pioneer AVIC D3BTi... about 750 quid at the moment.

Fantastic job! Far better than my attempt.
You pictures show perfectly how to do it.
I keep meaning to redo mine but just don't have enough time these days. Also I want to look at sinking it further back. It has the space to sit further back but it has nothing stable to sit on back there.

The putty I like to use is a 2 part epoxy putty (quick drying).
Milliput is one brand by memory, it's used for modelling so is very fine.

Foam board or other types can be found at most art or stationary places, like Staples.

Brutus, did you use the dremmel cutting method I mentioned? Did you find it as easy as I did?

brutus · 26th August 2007, 06:54

yes m8 i used dremmel as i followed your guide also i cant get my unit back any ferther Dimensions: 185.7mm(L) × 192.8mm(W) × 107.7mm(H) this unit has to sit long way out for the sd card reader & mini usb on sides,

this Eonon E609 7" LCD TOUCH SCREEN cost me only £100 inc del and works perfect

here is a link to the seller http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Eonon
