View Full Version : Double din installation... oldschool4life 10-19-2006, 06:52 PM Who has installed a double din??? ...what issues did you find during installation? jtm087 10-19-2006, 10:41 PM I have a double din, you have to find the ford double din kit, take off the black a/c vent/ controls panel and dremel the 4 sides until you can slide your double din and kit in it.....it took me a while (couple of hours) to dremel the plastic...but was well worth it afterwards http://209.172.61.46/24/24253/24253911/24253911_a0699a151147324461.jpg nvrenufedge 10-19-2006, 10:51 PM The only part i had to shave was the little lip on the top and bottom. Took a little over an hour, but you still need the DD kit. oldschool4life 10-19-2006, 11:02 PM What about a unit like this??? http://www.crutchfield.com/S-HgP8x8yoZys/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=168550&I=500IVAW200&search=Alpine+VENDORID500&SearchDisplay=Alpine Lil98Sport4X4 10-20-2006, 09:09 AM Try using the search function. You'll see a lot of threads on this subject. This was discussed again recently in this thread (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167338) I posted a few pics of my double DIN installation that might help you understand what you'll need to do. You'll also find a couple pics of an Alpine W200 installed in there too. Good luck... jluv 10-20-2006, 02:31 PM I installed my W200 in my 04 fairly easily. I couldn't find a kit anywhere, so I made my own trim ring out of ABS. There was no kit needed beyond that because the sleeve provided by Alpine was a perfectly snug fit. davesexplorer 10-20-2006, 05:50 PM I'd reccommend the Alpine :) http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/10/web/2446000-2446999/2446156_17.jpg |
