Replacing the headunit

[Sneezing7]

Hi (again),

I bought my Feroza minus a headunit.

I am a bit confused though. The hole does not look like the size of a double din unit - it looks a little bit smaller - maybe din and a half?

Can someone tell me how they blocked up the hole that is left over? Also, is it possible to mount the head unit up in the top section? Do I need some sort of brackets that I do not have?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this'll help or not but here's a picture of my head unit:
Stereo in U.S. Rocky - (Larger image)
If I didn't have the EQ that's in there now I would go looking for a bigger 'cubby hole' to put in there, something that will hold pens, CD's, etc. The one I have in there now barely lets me get my fingers in so it's pretty much useless.
You'll need to make up some kind of bracket to hold the radio in there. Depending on the radio, the front is probably going to be ok, the back has nothing to support it and will bounce around or fall down without a bracket.
I'm not sure about the Feroza but my radio is stuffed in there pretty good. There is no way I can push it back into the dash any more than it is now. There's just no more room in back so maybe it'll fit better mounted on the bottom.?. I like mine on the top and it works so your's might fit also.

There's a plastic surround that goes around the stereo and enables a single DIN unit to fit. It's a flimsy bit of plastic and very badly designed as it alone supports the front of the headunit IIRC.

Ditch the head unit they are a waste of good money Just put a connector to run your mp3 player (ngage, memory stick, ipod) straight to your amp... Its the only way to go...
