Hi,
Has anyone managed to fit a single din stereo in the double din slot?
I want to put my pioneer stereo in the top position but I have nothing to hold it up. Is there a special cage you can get from somewhere. Also I will need a plastic blanking plate as well.
if u go to halford you can buy a thing that will fill the space and have a little compartment, i got one for mine there about £10
Do you know what the part number was?
I went to Halfords and they showed me something similar to what you say, and it was for an Mr2. When he looked in my car he said it wouldnt fit because there is nothing to screw into on the sides.
u can also try sextons aswell thats were i got mine from for my old mr2 was also about £10
yeah i have this problem but i think im gonna glue it in cos theres no cage or anything where the radio should go just a big hole
You can pick up single DIN oddments trays for anywhere between £5 and £10, depending where you go. However, getting these to fit (and stay in position) is notoriously difficult, more so on double-DIN cars. I recently took out my double-DIN and installed an oddments tray to mount my Greddy Profec boost controller. I found an awesome kit for sale at a local car audio emporium (Tonbridge Road Radio). This cost a little more (£25) but has a huge array of fitting paraphernalia which allowed me to get a good, rattle-free and permanent fit. At present, the boost controller is in the upper of the two slots (for ease of access), with nothing below it, and does not shift around. Recommended.
On a slightly different note, my car came from japan with just such a tray that I use to keep CD\'s in. The only problem is under high accelaration when the CD slide backwards and either jam against my hand on the gear stick - painful at first - or just end up in a mess on the floor.
Does anyone know if you can get a double din CD with a CD changer in the spare space. The only doulbe din stuff I can find have a tape player and a CD... Who wants one of those!

The Blaupunkt Woodstock DAB53 has an optional single DIN changer if I remember rightly plus you get DAB tuning in addition to FM plus the head unit will also play MP3\'s.
Hope this helps.

Have a look at some of the japanese sites for double dins, have some great gear out there in that market.
Although dont bother if your fond of the radio, cant get much below 88 hz:) although I have picked up radio 1 and a few local stations b4 some how
Oh, and it got a double din stereo from japan, something beginning with C from Pioneer. does the CD player work? I take it i will have to get an expander for the radio?
MInty.
Is it carrozzeria? mines one of them too, everything works bar the radio (although like i said you can get some stuff) and its bound to have loads of features, ive been exploring the menu\'s in mine and theres equalizers, high and low cross-overs, location specific sound, loads of sound settings....great piece if kit :) and all english too
