Double din facia

[NiallD]

Hi all, I've just gone to change the Stereo in my 2006 Hawkeye only to find that the standard facia is few mm smaller than regular double din.

This means I either have to mount Stereo a little further back so it is behind the facia which blocks it's buttons, or start trimming my interior plastic [emoji20] has anyone else had this problem and how have you solved it?

I had this problem with my blobeye and a "Cheapo" double din Stereo, I did have other issues too though so I sent it back... I think most normal Pioneer, Kenwood units fit ok though?....

I also had the issue with a cheap Chinese pile of crap Xtrons..........dont get me wrong it worked ok............gps played up enough to drive me insane so back it went..........

 

I have weighed up a happy medium without spending £500(which i dont want to )

 

Philips do a 1/2 decent double din with gps for around £280

oe unit in car 

 

This is the unit i put in

 

The one i bought a few month before went back in

 

Cheap but at least a brand(no doubt all made in China anyway) but can use my USB for music and change colour to suit dash

This is what I have ended up with but really want to pull it forward a little. Trying to find another standard facia so I can try and trim it to make the hole bigger but I can't find 1 anywhere
