fitting a double din stereo in a defender td5
Hi all,

I have a defender td5 (2003)
I am interested in replacing the standard single din stereo for a double din and was wondering if it is possible and also if anyone has done this.

Any info/advice would be appreciated.

Cheers in advance


I

I'm looking into doing this.
In my opinion they sit too low in the standard dash because of the angle and depth of the switches above. To overcome this I was going to modify a spare dash so the top row of switches sit flat parallel with the face of the centre dash. This way the stereo can be installed a good 30mm higher. I do think double din is the way forwards though Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Thanks for your help guys.

that does look a very tidy job, I would imagine that the adaptor plate isn't thick enough to be able to use counter sunk screws... as I would like to try and minimise the look of the screws. However I do appreciate that it is a defender after all and it's not unusual to see screws and bolt heads.

Also like the look of what Jont has done with his double din centre dash.
