M35 Double Din Stereo Replacement

[loymclure]

The m35 came with a Carrozzeria (jap Pioneer), good unit but only for japanese so i reefed it out and went for a single din setup with a pocket. (no point in having to massive screens in one dash)

I was having a few issues with head unit sizes they all were like 5mm to big on ither side and i wanted to stay with pioneer so i could keep all my loom colors the same as the Carrozzeria unit.(easier swapout) So in the end i went with a Pioneer MVH-8250BT (autobarn) and actually had to mod the face of the unit to get it in (void warrenty so dont do this unless you have to). If you look closely at the picture of the head unit you will see two small little plastic facia bits on iether side. I broke them off and then cleaned the surface with a females nail file so it comes up nice and smooth.

The Nissan pocket purchased from Autobarn didnt fit infront or behind the factory plastic so i carved the face off with a stanly it doesnt look to bad but you can see a 3mm gap around the face of the pocket. ill head down to clarks rubber later and grab some really thin rubber or foam seal and run it around the face of the pocket to fill the gap.

P.S. I have a Carrozzeria (with loom) avic-zh25md for free if any one can understand japanese and wants a nice big pretty screen. (postage or pickup is upto you)

most aftermarket head units use the same wire colouring anyway.

looks really good in there! where did you get the double din centre console?

do you have an AXIS as that looks like an RX interior and AFAIK they only came with integrated stereo

Pretty sure it says RX on the back lol cant remember. The console came with the car so i dont know if its from factory or if it was put in with the carrozzeria.
