Double Din GPS/DVD

Postby Paddy » 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.

Looks good mate, a nice neat job. Is there any angle adjustment for the screen though, is it easy enough to see from drivers seat?

Hey, what HU is that please?

I traded in my RS Clio 172 Cup for a 1.9 dci Meg Dynamique (52 plate) at weekend and I'm debating selling my 1DIN HU and buying something like you have here. I don't want to be spending fortunes though :S
