Double din Fitted
That hard work !!! I think I'm getting old.............

three key points:
1. cutting the Defender facia (thanks Nakatanenga that provide a steel mask)
2. cutting the air vents from the old one din facia
3. remove the steel small bracket to give space

and cut the extra small facia (new switches repositioning without the 52 mm dia instrument) to keep my ext thermometer

But I'm happy with the results

The radio is the Pioneer AVIC F-960DAB

Sold more than 1.5 years ago.

Very good unit but it showed the weight of the years. It was very difficult to upgrade the maps (you need a particular type of BMW maps, make same mods, bla bla bla ......) Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition

Hi

Looks really good. One question, the new switch panel hasn't got the usual round hole, so it looks much better. Where did you get it from?

any verdict on the head unit? It would be helpful to know what you thinks as I'm thinking of going down this route myself. thanks in advance Thumbs Up 2.2 Tdci 110 XS CSW Corris Grey

1. good radio reception
2. very fast OS
3. good iPhone integration (after 1.07 FW upgrade)
4. good sound (I have the Alpine active sub-woofer installed also)
5. good navi (igo pioneer edition)
6. very good Bluetooth

so, I'm happy, very happy with this unit. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition
