I took delivery of my blobeye a few weeks ago with this monstrosity fitted..



i removed it tonight thanks to help from a guy who posted in the interior section (ian milford ).. the plan was to fit my own kenwood unit along with a genuine subaru DIN pocket... i'm now left with this..




just doesn't look right and i can't work out how the DIN cage is going to be held in? is the cubby hole in the right position? worth noting that the butcheress bell-end who owned the car before me hacked away at the fascia to force that double DIN screen to fit.. currently looking for a new one... any help with this appreciated..

 

Is this the wagon that was for sale recently in somewhere like Blackburn?

 

were are you from?? if your local i can have a look

 

see as you look in the space you see a plate to the left with 3 holes in it thats the cage should be the same on the right side take the facia off you will see black screws holding the brackets in place take them off and screw them to your kenwood then put the black screws back on

 

when you put your stereo in mind and wire the power antenna wire to the blue wire off the iso connector or you will get a crappy radio signal

 

it is mate yeh, any horror stories??

i'm in county durham?

that's great, yes i had to take that cage out completely to remove the 7" unit so i roughly know what you're saying.. do i still use a cage though or screw directly to the new head unit? also, is the cubby hole in the right place? i.e the bottom slot?

 

yes cubby is in the right place screw the bracket to the head unit at the sides withe the 3 holes im sure its 8mm screws then you screw the bracket back into place with the front screws you can just see in your picture

 

forgot to say you dont use the kenwood stereo cage at all just the brackets in the hole you see

 

excellent thanks fella... is the cubby hole screwed in too do you know? it's hniged at the moment and the holes don't line up as such... thinking i might try subaru main dealer for the fascia... previous owner also wrecked the cig lighter to take power from for his ipod charger.. need to rewire that too.. lots to do in the coming months

 

try andyscoobyspares on here for the facia and lighter dont know about that cubby mate as mine is just the black one that just sits in

 

you've been a big help.. thanks..

 

Cheers

 

No horror stories. If you recall in answer to a previous post I mentioned that I thought it had been for sale for a while. I nearly went to look at it, but got one in Leeds in the end.

Hope its Ok and you are having fun......looked really nice from the pics in the ad.
