Calling All MK4 Owners !!

[NJAY87]

Hey Guys

Hoping one or more of you have come across this and found a solution to my dilemma.

Trying to install a double din headunit into the R32. However to my dismay, any aftermarket solution is a lot smaller in physical size in comparison to the factory double din hole. There is about a 1cm gap on all sides.

As my headunit did not come with any sort of metal bracket/cage, i assume only that i require some sort of Facia kit/adaptor gizmo which will allow me to secure/screw the headunit in place.

If anyone has crossed this bridge or managed to source one of these adaptors or something which allowed them to install it, please let me know as i have only had luck sourcing the kit overseas and are wanting over $100 which i thought was a little excessive.

Cheers guys
Naz

To be honest ive never seen anyone come across this problem in the mk4 as its the same as a standard size deck .. so x2 for both dins.

Your better to check what brand of deck u have for parts wise for adapter and google maybe?

I dont understand how you have something made to an industry standard that dosnt fit into an industry standard space ???? if you know what im getting at.

I have a double DIN unit with no problem or extras needed to fit.

hey guys thanks for the replies

You have me more concerned now

Kaneda, how exactly have you installed your double din? Have you just simply put it in the gap and it stays in firm?

My double din is a factory standard size but im puzzled as to why the factory hole is too big. I've installed many number of headunits but this is the first car i've had this size issue, unless im missing something here.

It's not different for a R32 is it? I would imagine not?

Also not sure if Balkanac has come across this thread yet but i believe he had obtained a similar sort of kit i am referring to if im not mistaken... hopefully he can shed some light on to this...

Yeh no such problem here either. I have a Pioneer double DIN and fits snug
