New headunit for v3 Type R
 

Looking to get a headunit for my v3 type r as there is nothing there at the moment what will fit nice and easy? Dont want no dvd just a simple cd player.

Hi,

any single din unit should do it just fine. Is there a double height space where the stereo should be then? If so and you dont want a double height (double din) unit, you'll need a pocket or cubby hole to insert above the stereo into the dash.

Kenwood, Sony etc etc all fit - but you use the cage that is already in the car, you won't need the little steel cage that comes with the unit...

look here for some fitting guidance,..

I have just (over the last couple of days ) fitted a new double din kenwood nav/dvd/phone touch screen gadget and i looks awesome! are you sure you don't want to go the whole hog?

Yes i do have a large space its the double height. Do you have have pics of your new unit?

d/dins look alot better...
i have just a basic one but does make the dash seem whole,,
if you do fit the single,i might have the cubby hole bit lying around

Cheers, My idea was to have half of it a cd player and have three Gauges in a row above it.

that will look nice..
dont see many type-r's with that setup..
will be a one off..
why didnt i think of that,spent hours routing my wires up through the dash.

yes something differnt think i have seen it before on a Type R looked well!

will try to get pics sorted... the half cd / half gauges sounds like it would look great tho...

typer2009,let me know how you get on???
are you going to make a custom pod for it?

Yes a piece of carbon fibre to take the Defi gauges :thumb:

its a shame you cant carbon the centre console,so it is one piece ..?
instead of haveing it as two seprate pieces
thats an idea for you... :)
and defi's.. (tart)wish i could afford them

:lol1: I agree they aint cheap. Any ideas on a ideal headunit?

Hi

I always go with alpine, it depends on your budget and needs, ie amps, ipod, bluetooth??etc etc
just got d/din for my scooby and that's a jvc:Suspiciou and happy with that, mainly due to face being removable but your idea with gauges sounds good!!

i think a flip out screen job will look good...
a bit f+furious but they do look good..
