IVA-W520 Alpine Touchscreen Head unit.

[lewis269]

About to buy an Alpine IVA-W520 head unit as they are on sale, BUT I'm curious to know before I buy one if it is going to fit in the dash.

I know this is a commodore forum but i have a 1999 V8 Statesman with the wood grain dash interior. so basically it is the same as a commodores dash (Calais)

If anyone has any experience with these and could tell me if they fit or not would be great, also any helpful tips on installing it as I'll be doing it myself.


Thanks

Easy fit bud. You'll just need to trim the wood grain surround a fraction.

Thanks! really helpful, but roughly which parts of the wood grain do i have to file away? the corners?

That's right. Just in the corners so the s teen doesn't foul on it when it opens.
