Re: Fitting a double DIN aftermarket radio
If this 3D printing is used, then I am really interested to see the final result

Do you know someone with a 3d printer? I had some done for work recently and it was not cheap. 2 discs about the size of CDs were 300 quid

As and when a good acceptable design is in prototype I will be able to have them manufactured in small runs, hoping to get a very approx cost later today

Re: Fitting a double DIN aftermarket radio
Good news assuming a run of 25 each moulding similar to this
it would work out at less than £100 and be an exact match to the existing grey plastic colour.
If someone can create it with the vents it would be a little more but again matching colour etc

Sorry to sound stupid but would that be 100 per unit?

How are you getting on? What's the fm reception like? Mines pants!KarlosG wrote:Making plastic bits either side as one and then colour coding is an option yes.
Yes it works with the steering wheel controls!
Air vents, I had a play tonight and done this....
There's a few tweaks I still need to do to this top section and I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with it but it thought it worth a play!
Oh and yes the vents will work if this is my final choice.

I have re-visited the pricing and it will be in the region of £40-£45 per unit plain with no vents

IMO that totally ruins the lines of the dash, it sticks out way too far, looks like someone has stuck a Sega Game Gear to the dash!!gerald_tvr wrote:Good news assuming a run of 25 each moulding similar to this
I have two idea still to play with, but I'm probably going to lose the vent's all together (not 100% though) and go for a smooth look but that follows the lines of the dash 100% and is a colour match to the original grey plastic.oli445 wrote:How are you getting on?

FM reception is fine but I'm not impressed with the frame rate of the HU, not smooth at al!
