Custom Headunit

[CTScott]

To install a standard Double DIN HU, you will need the radio trim piece (silver piece around the radio) and replacements for the two vertical black pieces that run along side of the radio (the US ones don't have the holes for the radio controls).

This image shows the parts (55435, 55436, 55405):




The standard 55405 part (shown in the second picture below) has an opening which is wider than a standard radio, so a filler kit is needed to fill the gap (such as Metra 95-8202 kit).

The other option is the PZ489-B0330-00 (shown in the top picture below), which has a Double DIN width opening.




I have all of the above parts (including both types of the radio trim). PM me for pricing if you want to purchase a set.

Ok, so I changed my mind. No change in head unit, however I am going to put a sub in. My friend is offering me:

http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/.../mrp-m352.html

http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/products...8D4/index.html (with a box)

all for £50, which I think is a good offer, especially as I want something with continuous bass output, rather than more punchy.

Can anyone recommend me:

Wiring kit
Remote Power on

Also, how easy is this to install myself? Considering I have a lot of technical experience with PA systems and that kind of thing.

Thanks

cheechm, the answers to all your install questions are all over these forums, just do a search. There's pics of torn out dashes, backs of radios, door panel removing for speakers, installing amp wires, which wire is remote power on, etc. Lots of stuff here has already answered your questions! I know cuz I just installed an HU and amplified sub by digging thru the posts!
And, DEFINITELY this is something you can do yourself, since I did it with no experience in PA systems, car installs, or anything.
