i have an 04 wrx that had a double din unit but it was kept by the previous owner,i have a pioneer headunit spare that i want to fit so i brought a single din conversion pocket from a member on here but i have a problem

the pocket and the headunit wont fit in the hole,what do i need to make them fit? surely a double din is the same width as a single din?

heres a few pics







as you can see the hole isnt wide enough

 

you need to take the surround of and slot it in then, loads of threads on internet on how to do this, will take only 15 mins

 

You need the brackets off the side of the double din, you basically screw them to the side of the single din unit and storage bin then the whole lot fits back in as a double din sized block. Previous poster is right should take less than a half hour.

 

hhmmm this could be a problem as i dont have the brackets

 

Yep you need the brackets, front comes off first.

 

bollocks...........

any idea what the brackets look like? are they in any of these?

Give one of the breakers a bell.

 

well it might not matter now as ive just hooked up the pioneer to see if it works (its not been used in 3 years) and its dead as a dead thing

say if i brought a new double din from halfords would that come with correct brackets or just a cage do you think

 

Ive just had a new pioneer fitted, you will need to get some scews to fit the brackets to the side of the new unit and no they dont come with it, luckily for me giz1978 who fit mine had the right size ones spare
