Plenty of space, in fact I'm thinking of getting an ssd HDD to fit behind and use the 3rd USB port.

Hi Alan. I didn’t think I was going to be able to get the new head unit in. I ended up pushing cords and connectors up into the aircon vent spaces on both sides. There was still room for the the aircon vents to fit back in. I had to re-route the GPS aerial, 2x USB and reversing camera cables up and across the air vent space. Had them routed lower and couldn’t get the head back in. Lonerangie must have some sort of Tardis deal going on back there if he can fit a solid state HDD there. I would think that the wire harnesses would be similar even though I have an Xtrons and he has Eonon. What’s the secret??
Solved. The Eonon is 126mm deep while the Extrons is 156mm.
So If looking around I would set max depth at 156mm and that is a real squeeze.
On a side question - my brothers Mazda 6 has an android radio fitted and looks original - nice fit. It is about 10" though and a very nice size.
The one fitted in this thread is 7" and the fitting kit is for this size - can you get fitting kits for larger size android radios. Looking at the 7" fitted there is enough space around it for a larger unit but I am not sure if fitting kits are made for larger units.
Anyone know?
Thanks
Garry
I know you can buy larger units but can you buy a fitting kit for a D3/RRS ie the surround panel that will fit a larger screen - if so any links?
Thanks

Got the day off so thought it was time to tackle the reverse camera install, did a lot of researching as i didn't want to use the reverse light as a trigger for the camera. An email to Aerpro confirmed that i should use both the adapter harness reverse trigger and the head unit reverse power lead so after a quick test i confirmed the camera worked with no other wiring required at the camera end.
Camera cable was a little short so i just used a 1m RCA cable i had and taped another single wire to it for the camera power extension, i ran the camera along the channel on the drivers side and up thru the trim into the rear pillar and up into the top of the tailgate.
I mounted the camera to the far right of the handle which gets it fairly close to central, thankfully i have a mitch hitch so the camera will pick this up easily.
