Double Din, Single Din, Help Required On Ebay Item.

[Ahhhh__Aristo]

Hey all, found this on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Motorized-Car-DVD-CD...1QQcmdZViewItem wasn't looking at changing headunit for ages but at this price, is quite fanciable :D

Do you think it'll fit in the hole OK, as I presume we have a double din hole??

I'm not really clued up on this sort of thing, so all help apprieciated.

Double din and more, you'll have to build your own plate for a good fit, done this to mine but needs more work to look better but for now it works OK

[Ahhhh__Aristo]

I guess more room is better than not enough :D

Do you mean make a DIY facia plate, or is the hole bigger, and have to make a DIY fixing plate??

Not explained that to well lol.

I think what I'm trying to say is, are the head unit/s secure when fitted with their cage in the stock hole, and just need cosmetics??

nice item, I found this pic for you, might give you an idea of its size. this guy is selling his unit for almost half price and he had it for a week

I have a Kenwood KTV920DVD in my dash.

It is a single size unit.

It was in the car when I bought it.

Goto Halfords and ask for a reducer plate. Mine looks like it has been bought,not made.

It has a single size hole and a another underneath, for storage.

When I get my car back from the spray shop I will take a pic.

Do you need a reducer plate that's specifically for the Aristo/GS300? (stupid question I think...)

I wouldn't imagine so, as long as your Aristo is normal size I would imagine that a universal one would suffice.

[Ahhhh__Aristo]

Cheers for the help guys, some many things to buy first, but at that sort of price, hard to ignore..........I'll keep you updated.

Reducer no.... but a blanking plate does have to be vehicle specific!

Due to the shape of the radio that's in the MK I, a universal din will not be any good, it's wider at the top than the bottom, you'd need to either alter a large blanking plate or make you own, did mine out of bolsawood and screwed back into place using the brackets from the radio

[Aristopheles]

I'm sure there would be a market for them (in small numbers perhaps) if someone could make them.

[Ahhhh__Aristo]

Could we just clarify that the actual hole is double din, it's just the facia that's wider at the top than the bottom??

[Aristopheles]

No, the hole is bigger than double DIN - DD is 7"x4" (wxh), the Aristo panel with all the stereo controls is larger than this.

I had a look at mine tonight, and it is definatly a fitted panel for reducing it to take a single din.

I will take a picture tomorrw to show you.

I also have to go to Halfords tomorrow, so I will enquire and let people know.

[Aristopheles]

Cool, would be nice to be able to fit a single or double DIN head unit straight in.

Hello as promised here is my stereo fitted.

Now as i did not fit it I am not 100% sure but I would say this one is the same one.

Ebay link

Hope this helps :)

[Adie]

Thats the same as what I've got fitted to mine. Its an Autoleads part. I very much doubt it'll fit the GS though which is what he wants it for

[Ahhhh__Aristo]

Cheers for that, looks great, won't fit the GS though as ours are only tapered one side, which is a shame.

Yes just realised that. I just took it for granted it was for an IS200. Sorry.

[Ahhhh__Aristo]

What head unit is that?? look lurvvvvvely.

[norkep]

When you remove the radio, your left with a big hole, there's no cage, din fittings, only 4 brackets, one of each corner.

[atacam]

What head unit is that?? look lurvvvvvely.

Thanks. As said it was already in the car when I bought it.

It is a Kenwood KTV920dvd.

Have a look here.

Kenwood

It's 5 down.

It's the Aristo section! I had my hopes up for a bit... *sigh*

Yes I know...now. That will teach me for not reading.

I apologise for the false hope.

[Ahhhh__Aristo]

I can get a facia plate for a MK2, don't suppose that'll fit??
