hey mate,

what you need to do is lift the cd player up so that the gap is down the bottom there maybe some brackets there from the stocko one if not you can make em, its not that difficult and get a pocket from strathfield or the likes of those car audio places which cost like 16 bucks. the stereo will sit on it and you may need a thin layer of foam paper or sumthing round those lines and thats pretty much it.

ALTERNATIVELY...if you dont want to be like everyone else and have a boring pocket ...

my old setup before i got double din, was a piece of clear or fogged perspex, and then you put a sticker on it (lettering, numberplate, your name, or shopping list of a brand or something etc) and then paint it black or grey or depending on your dash. Then peel the sticker off and your left with a semi see through whatever, and just put in a neon behind the perspex and it looks hawt imo.

I had interchangable pieces, and a little LED set up that changed ways to flash and glow and chase etc behind it in blue which matched everything nicely. hopefully the pic included comes out alright, i've still got these sitting around unused if you want one, or any, or multiple and i got a heap of perspex available as well if you are metro melbourne? anybody else reading this if you want offcuts of perspex pm me i got too much it's all going in the rubbish bin before christmas

cheers,

shanus

fantastic idea shanus!!!!

*stolen* lol

i got some perspex lying around i wanna use for somethin and u have given me the perfect idea for it!

luke do this 4 sure. i put that CD din pocket in and never use it. only screwed my neon switch into the back the other day but will be putting it on the dash somwhere now.

another idea leading on from shanus', is to get a bit of plastic/perspex/whatever made to fit the DIN hole, and drill holes for guages etc. volt, vacuum come to mind

[LUME]

Hi Luke, if the Gladstone you live in is in Queensland pop into Supercheap Auto, I saw a single din sony drawer that houses an mp3 player. Has a plug for the MP3 inside and RFA jacks out back to plug into the rear of the stereo, not 100% sure of the price but i think it was around $49.
