Don't have pictures, but get a Kenwood unit.
I had a DDX5022BT unit in my last 05 STI.

craigo 02 March 2012 09:25 AM

dont worry about it sitting out to far mate. there will be plenty of room for adjustment on your cage to get the fit you need/want.

I've got an Infinity Reference speaker set up, got my Xtrons unit second hand off EBay £80 a year ago and still pleased with it 😉

joz8968 02 March 2012 04:35 PM

Anyone successfully fitted a eBay "Erisin" double-DIN HU into a MY99/00's double-DIN aperture?

Any pitfalls to look out for?

vc_1985 06 March 2012 06:45 PM

ahh crap orderd an xtrons one and wont bloody fit the facia is too small!!

screechy 06 March 2012 06:51 PM

I've got a pioneer fh-p80bt here sitting spare.
Was going to fit it in the type r but decided to strip excess weight.

vc_1985 06 March 2012 06:57 PM

xtrons td-714 wont fit got to see it seller will accept back seems really odd as its a double din unit!

Check this out just fitted one to my blob very pleased has hands free built in works great and a good fit bolts to original cage same as oem unit.

vc_1985 06 March 2012 07:09 PM

my screen fits in original position its the actual facia that wont fit back over

Scoobyno1 06 March 2012 07:20 PM

I had an xtrons unit fitted when I got the car and the previous owner hacked the surround to pieces. I then bought another surround and bought a decent stereo, Kenwood one and it was spot on.

Those xtrons ones are cheap for a reason.

adam_81_uk 06 March 2012 07:35 PM

The pioneer ones fit just behind the surround facia no need to hack it away.

SteveDuk 06 March 2012 08:38 PM

Hijack...

Thinking of getting one of these.

Has anyone got a pic of one of these fitted or feedback?

lazadude 06 March 2012 09:02 PM

Kenwood in my Hawk. Sat nav, ipod, tv tuner etc etc.

joz8968 06 March 2012 09:07 PM

laza is the TV tuner a DVB (digital Freeview) one?

Does it play DVDs too?

SatNav any good?

Can you furnish me with the model/product code please?

Its a DNX5220.

To Be honest, I haven't used the TV, I got it as an add-on which connects to the back of the Head unit. Got loads of optional extras.

GPS/SatNav is a Garmin, and is both accurate and quick to locate satellites. Equal to my old TomTom easily.

jeffwrx 06 March 2012 09:26 PM

another xtrons here, not a bad unit for the price , but didn't fit straight in without modification,

handsfree blutooth iphone connect, superior sound quality
http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/...IMG_0012-1.jpg
and to be honest ive dealt with ice for years now and the alpines were the best until the newer models came out. you need the oddesy box to get the best sound out of them which is an extra cost and another unit in car.
pioneers are taking over alpines with sound quality if u buy a good one. the best one on the market at the moment for ME would be the AVH-2400BT or the one with sat nav aswell, but i dont need as ive got it on iphone speaks through the sterio while the music is playing

joz8968 06 March 2012 09:34 PM

laza, thanks a lot. :)

So the unit didn't come with a TV tuner built-in (or indeed as an add-on already bundled with it in the box)? You have to get an add-on, separately?

Yeah, its got all the connections and ports for millions of ad ons, kenwood just want to fleece you for what they can.

Mine came with ipod connection and control, in the box, and got a cash deal (;)) for the tv tuner.

No prob mate.

joz8968 06 March 2012 10:23 PM

Yeah, these double DIN units crack me up with their veritable plethora of AV ins/outs. But it's great - I love it. ;)
