Double Din into VG

[1_johnboy]

Thought Ide share my experiance with the install I had today. I couldnt find much info on it other than "cant be done". I thought this was the case.
I took this more as a challenge....and also had some spare time

Here is what I found out.

Honestly its not worth it. I dont believe it can be done without destroying the heater box (my method) or a major relocation of the whole heater/ventilation ststem.

In the end I was not happy with how it all finnished up (just doesnt look any good), but my process was that I wouldnt cut anything they I couldnt replace without to much trouble.

You went to all that effort for a cheap and nasty double din. For shame.

Quick go to the wreckers get replacement parts and put it back to normal before a Holden enthusiast or soon to be ex friend sees your rice interior !!!

Next time you get some spare time, polish the car or replace the oil or something :-)

Yeah, Id get a new heater box and console and remove that. If you're going to do it, might as well do it right.. e.g build a custom console and relocate the shit behind it...

I think I`ll just put it back to standard, was a good exercise to under take. Learnt some stuff. Its a good headunit, just looks very out of place in the old ute.

What really shits me is the heater haddent work since I had it. During the distruction I got it working - then just to put a hole in it with the screwdriver!
