Double DIN

[CrA!G]

hey people,

been searching threads and havent yet come across one that has a link or tells anyone where you can buy a double din fascia for the C.

is that due to there not being one? if so can anyone make them for a price?

the unit i am lookin at is the Kenwood DDX-8017

make one yourself mate. i dont think there is one but you can make one yourself with mdf my mate did he just measured hole in dash and cut it to size and put brackets on to fix it in then painted it black with spray.

[CrA!G]

might do, just seeing if anyone with experience can do it first?

[partridge_88]

itll fit i think but youll have gaps

[RickSRi]

Have a go your self, would look really cool, post pics when done as i would be very interested

[CrA!G]

might do, saving at the moment! only seen it in america for $1000

you cant fit a double din with out cutting litle bists of your dash away unless you plan having it higher and removing your vents/hazard swtich area.

and i wouldnt start cutting up you dash just to fit a double DIN unit, maybe think of something a bit more exciting…

thanks mate, was so close to buying! im stil wanting to make a computer for the glove compartment and wire up a touch tft in the place of the vents/HU. like yours i believe?

[Martin]

yeah i got a screen there. its not touch screen though, i wouldnt know how to do that :lol:

[CrA!G]

what would be the difference in the way of fitting? whats your screen hookd up to?

[Martin]

screen has 2 channels. 1 channel is hooked up to ps2. then ps3 l+r sound goes to heaunit. 2nd channel i have nothing plugged in, was going to get a tv tuner, but couldnt be bothered :)

[CrA!G]

k, sounds cool. i might do that, and put a comp in the glove compartment too, that could take the 2nd channel. might be interesting trying a touch screen with the ps2...

[Martin]

surely a touch screen wouldnt work with a PS2...?

The second channel could be hooked up to a reverse camera, ive got a unit here that would enable it to auto come on when u hit reverse ;)

or you could put a camera in your fog light holw in the grille :o :o :o :o

that'd look sweet :lol:

[CrA!G]

yeh sounds good.

could you not hook both cameras up and then have a switch?

anyway i need to get some ££ first :(

[Martin]

well, you get two channels, so you can chose between them using the remote ;)

[Nutkin]

im thinking of doing this with my leon sounds like a right laugh. maybe put a vcr in it and record as i go along. but more thinking of puting the video through to headrest scrreens for those who are sitting in the back

[CrA!G]

sounds cool mate

[Nutkin]

that or maybe mount one under the car with a fish eye lense so you have a theoretical glass bottom car

[Martin]

I prefer the idea of replacing a fog with the camera… road kill would be much more fun :twisted:

:look:

[Nutkin]

yeah i like the idea too just cause of the recording factor. be nice and if you have an accident instant black box.

[Martin]

how would you decalrie it to the insurance company?

instant perv, just adjust your foglight (your camera) and you look up people skirts :o

:nono:

[Nutkin]

point the washers to the right and you got like wet t shirt contest right there without anyone knowing

[CrA!G]

:lol: lmao at how this thread turnd.

liking the ideas here fellas:doublethumbs: ......:look:

[Nutkin]

whos the first to get a spraying
????????

[Martin]

think you should spray that bit of biscuit that drives a purple neon'd punto.

real pics n vids needed ;)

[Nutkin]

i sent the pic up though ;) if ya check again.
