double din head unit

[83_SUS]

there isnt a frame but i just went back to autobarn and got a DNA brand double din cradle and it fits sweet as all i did was poprivet the cradle into place and its a perfect fit. most double din aftermarket headunits dont come with a cradle

where did you end up sourcing the frame from, balkanac?

and did you use the Aerpro variety wiring adapters?

Thanks,

Justin

I had issues with my Pioneer head unit in my R32 due to it not coming with a cradle or fascia. I went back to JB and ordered the Pioneer cradle and plastic cover/frame. Looks great now.

I had to order a fasica plate from europe for my pioneer head unit, it also didnt come with one. Most places said that pioneer don't make any but i checked on the pioneer europe site and they had information on a fasica plate that would fit thus i ordered one from ebay with full slide out etc. So have a look around at the web sites and you should be able to find the right unit.

its a shame Australia has a smaller market. We have no hope of getting anything locally or nationally for that matter.

Always have to look abroad...

but good to see everyone working it out...

what did you guys do for the power antennae wire?

Do you mean the white cable running into the antennae as in not a powered up one right. I just used the remote power cable i.e the ones used for amps etc. Pioneer manual said thats the one to use for powered antennae. Not sure if it works properly tho will have to test when cradle arrives as reception at the moments worst then without power. Will get pictures of the wiring if you want.

quite happy with it!
