For those that have change fron double tosingle what did you put in the space left by the new unit. Anyone got any pics they could post.

Hi Chip
I put in a standard "box" below the stereo - sourced from the dealer. I gather its the same one that is used as a standard part on Scoobies that come with a single DIN stereo.

Its OK - leans back nicely so its very useful for putting sunglasses in without worrying about them starting to fly around every five minutes.

If no-one posts before I'll take a piccy when I get home and post it.

Nick

 

Be grateful if you can.

Chip

 

No probs. It was dark by the time I got home - I'll try to do it first thing.

Nick

 

Here you go (if I get images to work - never done them before....)









PS: <Blatant plug> in a few mins I'm going to write a note in "Security" re the car alarm - if anyone reading this knows anything about them please give it a read! </Blatant plug>

Thanks!

 

What make of stereo are you using in the photos?
Cheers,
Mark

 

Its a Sony minidisk headunit, pretty old now - I got it over a year ago now.

 

Did you need to use any adaptor lead from double din to single din wiring?
Mark.

 

Yes. I needed a "converter" lead that took the connectors from the loom (for the standard headunit) and converted them to the Sony required one.

I got it from a local car audio shop for about 15 quid.

Have you got a part number for the tray by any chance? The spares dept at my dealers don't seem to be able to function without one.

Reminds me of the cartoon - it's no good pointing at it, if it's not on the compouter we can't sell it....

 

Well after a fairly lengthy call to the dealer (you'd have thought they could look up what they've sold you quickly!)

Part Number : 66128AE000

...I'd check it when you order it...

Nick

 

Cheers Nick

Any idea of price for the box as my local dealer didn't think they existed and I'd like to go forewarned etc. so I'm not in for a shock

I had the same thing with my dads' mx5 a few years ago when I put in an apline cd to replace the doudle din standard junk. Autoleads do a box that is single din size - halfords do them for about a tenner I think.

 

The box cost exactly ... £15.43

Nick

 

thats unfair mine was £16

I don't get it, I'd be more than happy to have a double DIN in my MY99 and you guys are going back to single DIN's?? :-))

I would like to put one of those :




Can play about everything and costs as much as a normal MP3/Cd player in Europe

 

That top one looks rather MAD.
