Double Din GPS/DVD
Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2009 6:23 pm
I couple wanted to see a double din in stall.
When the original head unit and multi changer / cubby hole are removed there is a cross bar (plastic strip) that needs to be removed by a hack saw or plastic heat cutter, and then filed.
To the rear of the craves created one needs to cut away the top protruding plastic oval ( this is used to hold the original HU in place.) has to be removed to allow attachment of GPS aerial in my case. ( See pic 4 )




Here you can see the cut away plastic and the spliced hand brake wire, to allow use on the move.
I have used the Connects2.com double din cage. On the website it states it's for the Meagne 2008, but the dash has not changed through 2002 - 2008 and in fact once delivered is labelled 2005 - 2007.
