Default fitting single DIN into blobeye
I want to remove the standard double din radio and fit a single din unit but where can I get a pocket from to fill the hole after?

Thanks

The holes don't quite match up so you'll need to drill extra ones in the brackets to get it to fit spot on - easy enough if a bit fiddly!

That looks nice, Just tryed it with my Alpine unit and it is as if i have to cut the trim away and i dont want to do that, From your pic i see you have left the surround of for the alpine unit ?

Yes mate, I bought a new surround for the head then found there was no room for it.
Really pleased with the swap though the sound is so much better and with the pocket thingy it dont look wrong either
