    I'm in to it now!

    I've just started my double din install.
    Dash is out (easy to remove with plastic trim levers).
    The head unit is mounted in the facia after I modded some mounts up. The U.K. Seller didn't supply the brackets, even though they were an important part of the kit. Jerk.
    I've removed the clock, vent panel from the original panel via multiple passes with a new Stanley knife. Nice clean cut.
    I'll be wiring the reversing camera to it, and also a dual battery monitor from Redarc.
    Have to cut the side panel tomorrow and then put it all back together.
    Daunting but not difficult.
    Best wishes all.
    Ken

    This is mine, done some months ago by Freeway Audio

    What I found, make sure you get a unit that does tilt out.
    If theres no tilt out its hard to see.

A little hard to explain here so if you find youself in the same predicament drop me a phone number and I can verbally explain.
    FIRST PROBLEM - Clips not engaging on main dash (top two metal U clips)
    Hi Alittlebitconcerned - yeah I just had Performance Car Audio in Bayswater (great guys BTW) install this on the weekend (PURCHASED this moulding). It was VERY expensive at $550 and the quality of the tabs and mounting leave a lot to be desired. I saw another image where some one has put two pan head screws in the top to fix the problem of the top two metal U Clips not engaging properly. Any one else have any suggestions.

    SECOND PROBLEM - small side switch panel
    THe guys carefully made this cut out and we have a neat and tight fit but the tabs do not engage either and the panel keeps falling out at the first bump... Any suggestions.

    Ive rung 4WD Accessories in NSW who sold the panel to me who have been sort of helpful - want images to send but I suspect by what other have said here this is a common issue...

    Appreciate any suggestions.

    Cheers

    Clint

    You'll probably find the tabs are hitting the ribs on the inside of the dash. I used a cutter on the Dremel to remove enough of the ribs to allow the tabs to bite. Sorry ,don't have the part number, it's about the diameter of a pencil and has cutters on all sides.
