Jetpilot Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 My double din chinese unit has just turned up so started fitting. I am sure this has been covered before but cant make sense of the threads and possible solutions. The problem is the unit sticks way out the dash (not flush) using the original mounting bracket, if i buy a new fascia such as http://incartec.co.uk/Pages/Product.aspx?P=2793 does this also allow me to sit the unit further back or is it literally just a fascia? If just a fascia what options do i have of altering the mounting positions, is it a redrill job or are there specific kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) its just a fascia! But it does make it look better than the fascia that supplied with HU! Edited June 11, 2013 by Vlad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks Vlad. So is there an alternate mounting kit available so i can sit the unit further back does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Just drill some holes in the side mounting plates or a slot so that it sits further back thats what I did. Be careful though there is not a lot of room to spare, I moved mind back about 1cm : thumbs: The unit in the pic is supposed to sit out of the dash as it opens for CDs but I never use them so I mounted it as flush as I could....

spursmaddave Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Here is how it is supposed to be and how it fitted in my Zed at first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 You welcome And cant help you with that question! Cant remember exact setup behind HU, but may be you can modify hlding brackets so they mount closer to the front of HU and by doing that you will push whole HU back a bit... hope that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
