Show me your aftermarket headunits

[thanatu55]

Not aftermarket but I went a different route to updating the OEM stereo



Not to everyone's taste but it works with my interior, then I added door speakers to the six speaker system and replaced the ones behind the seats. Sound quality is massively improved.

Thinking of getting a bluetooth adapter to plug in behind.

Hi Greg, just wondering you have any issues removing your fascia... Just fitting kine new pioneer head unit and I'm struggling to remove it with it being recessed.

Sound is 1000% better though and would highly recommend doing it

Hey,. Not sure I really understand what you mean.

What is it you're having trouble removing?

Hi Greg

Well I've fitted my new head unit, and it fits behind the fascia, such that the removable fascia part sits roughly flush with the face of the dash. The opening in the fascia isn't big enough to have the head unit projecting through. Anyway, this being the case, the removable part sits in the opening. When you press the button to pop it out it flips forward but doesn't seem to want to detach. I think ite because of how close it fits within the opening. Seeing that you have a Pioneer head unit, i wondered if you have trouble removing yours.

Ah! I'm with you now. Once you've popped the button you need to push the fascia up slightly to unclip it before pulling it out.

If you're still having trouble I'd check the mount adaptors to see how well you've fitted then to the unit itself.

Pretty sure you'll be fine after moving the fascia up slightly though to completely unclip it.

Lovely job, I'll give it a go... If not some fine adjustment might be needed

1000rr, what sort of phone mount are you using there? How does it attach to the centre console in that position? I’ve thinking that would be a good place for me phone

I guess there are good marketing reasons for not doing this...but it is a shame car manufacturers dont sell a range of modern headunits for older cars - keeping the oem feel but with modern connectivity. I think the after market headunits look naff and invariably feel cheap.

It’s a Baseus magnetic mount. I’ve wired a cable through the plastic panel so you can’t see any wires to charge the phone for sat nav etc... good position for the phone too.

What's the DAB reception like with the aerial placed there, in the lower corner of the screen?
Of the two sets of instructions I've seen, both mention placing it up alongside the A pillar about 6 inches from the top of the screen.
Looks better down in the corner though!

Never had a single issue with it at all!
