Hey guys, me is be needing some help!
Iv'e bought a new head unit for my car but, after a quick test fit then realising that the standard unit is 1 1/2 DIN and not double DIN, the new unit looks funny with this lil gap under neath it. i know you can get pocket to fit but its gotta come from america and that takes to long so i was wondering if anyone else has changed there headunit over or know if we can get those pockets here from somewhere? any help ? cheers James Last edited by ProjectXR; 21-04-2005 at 02:02 PM. |

IIRC, didnt someone on the old forums (was Australian tho) get the pocket through a store here somewhere? Youd think theyd have to be able to get them somehow.

You can get it from Autobahn this is a pic and part number of what you want. They'll have to order it. It took them 3 days to get it in when I ordered one. Aerpro Australia import the kit from Metra in the states.

Hey i order one of those things from Doran Pro Audio... $85.... Told them to stick it.
If you have a motorised head it will not work properly with this item aswell. I went down to the local Bunnings bought a small piece of black plastic. Cut it to the correct size and glue the bastard in. i think it looks better that the pocket one and it only cost me about $7 in total to do. I think i even have a spare piece of the matarial i used big enough to make another gap filler. Russ
