Td5 Double DIN Head unit fitted
After a bit of searching the forum, and searching Google, wth nothing definitive, I thought I'd have a go. Much better than the original that was in place Mr. Green Cool

Downloadable apps, Bluetooth music streaming + calls, Aux/USB in. Perfect starting point for my audio install Thumbs Up

That does look good. I'm assuming it's the mud stuff fascia plate ?

Do you have any pictures or details of how you fitted it ? Are you limited by the hazard switch in how high up you can mount the head unit?

Love to hear more.

Indeed, the mudstuff single DIN facia, but modified to suit. A few minutes with a grinder and a bit of trimming upwards saw it fit beautifully.

The hazard switch "just" touches the top of the cage, but it doesn't get in the way, and the wiring doesn't chafe against it. I don't foresee there being any issues here.

The only problem now, is while it sounds much better, it's still nowhere near as good as the Harmon Kardon I'm used to in the Disco 3. Time to start planning the rest of the audio install now Laughing

What model is that head unit? looks like a Pioneer but wonder if you could be more specific about model?

Was waiting for the successor to the Asteroid Parrot but they then decided to only sell to vehicle manufacturers

Also, didn't want to take out another mortgage to get one....
