Smile Double din conversion to single din fascia

Hi,

Anybody know where I can get a quality fascia plate to convert from original Japanese double din head unit to a single din unit?

Also I have the original Addzest rear speakers in the rear shelf. It looks like I can fit larger speakers as there appears to be a spacer. Is this correct? If so, what size of speaker can I fit in?

Thanks very much!!

Nick

Hi Nick,

Hope this response answers your question.. in my 04 wrx the previous owner has a single din blaupunkt head unit fitted and he told me the only solution he found was actually through subaru dealer.. in the form of the CD holder that fills the void nicely. It actually looks the dogs and as is genuiine subaru part & looks like it was always meant to be that way.. much better then a blanking plate that destroys look of dash..

I can send you post of mine at weekend if you like

Thanks Steve,

My WRX is slightly older! It's a 1996 V.2 model! I'll give my local Subaru dealer a ring and find out! Thanks very much!

Went to my dealer and got a brand new uk single din facia for my 99JDM. Its a straight swap for the double din unit. Was about £30.

No part number sorry. But got mine from www.dhcars.co.uk. You could try giving them a call.

Nick,
If you do get hold of a single DIN fascia, I'd be interested in buying your double one if you wanted to sell it

So you'd like the complete unit? It's only the original Addzest Subaru item, although it does have a Clarion sticker on the back.
