Double Din Fascia

[RagamuffinRyan]

Hi Guys,

Got a bit of an issue with my new double din.

Basically my new double din has been fitted to the car today.

Problem is, My dash trim will not fit around my headunit with the fascia on (I could with the last double din, not as deep)

Is there anyway to get a fascia that will fit the remaining gap?

Mines got a blank that goes around the radio under the dash facia

The fascia off my old double din would fit behind the car trim perfectly but I think as this Kenwood sticks further out the dash it just wont fit behind (and wont fit over)

I have considered cut down my fascia, but wouldn't I then be unable to clip it to the stereo?

I had to do a bit of cutting to my gearstick surround to get the small double din surround to fit in behind it, not too hard to do just do a small bit at a time so its a nice tight fit and doesn't rattle around like I've seen in the past with other peoples cars :nod:

I'm rather not cut my dash in any way shape or form if I can help it I'm thinking of drilling additional slots in the din brackets to mount the stereo in further allowing room for the fascia.

What kenwood have you bought, im not running the unit surround with mine and fits snug, looks great!? Mines a DNX4230BT

Off topic abit but how did you get your heater display and clocks a blue colour instead of green?

Came like it mate, theyre a bluey/grey colour. Must be different bulbs in there or something, i didnt know it was different to stock?!

I have the Kenwood 4230BT as well, It seems to stick further out the dash than the pioneer previously.

I don't have the fascia on either, but that slight gap around the din drives me insane. (perfectionist)
It must mount further back.

I'll be changing all my interior LED's Blue or White at some point too.

Checked my dash lights earlier their not green getting mixed up with cars but they are brighter.

Everything in my car is green apart from my stereo and the orange clusters.

Planning on fitting a double din to mine as well with the carbon surround from EPRacing. Has anyone had similar problems with this?
