Fitting a single DIN stereo into a double DIN space?

[Welsh Dan]

I\'m in the middle of importing a RX7, which should be here in two weeks. Anyway, theres no stereo in the car at the moment, and all I have is a great big hole there instead.

I\'ve got a single DIN headunit, but I don\'t particularly want to be left with a gaping hole underneath it. I\'ve looked on the autoleads website, and they don\'t do a facia adaptor for the RX7, so how did you guys with imports get around it?

You can get a universial pocket from halfords.....cheap!

just use that, i did.  I have attached a picture of what mine looked like.  If you need any help or advice on installing/wiring any of the stereo, just let me know.

Is that an S2000 starter on the right?

Hey Dan,

I had the same problem with mine. Get ya importer to send you over a standard rx7 double din kit. Mine as £45 including postage, came with the following stuff... that one from halford seems to only support single units



best of luck

Yeah, thats a S2000 starter button  

If you read the original post, then you will see that he needs it to be a single din space left as he has a single din headunit.  That kit is for double din headunits.......no good in this situation.

hehe... makes me wonder where the heck they all go, seems odd why they are taken out...

I\'ve just bought an MR2 cough!  cough!    and that had the stereo out aswell..... it\'s a right pain getting a single din to fit without paying a rip off 40 quid to autoleads...managed it in the end though    harder than the FD though!

maybe there\'s a big underground scene for stereo cages in jap

:rollin   you may be on to something there!
