jdm head unit??

[mukydarry]

hey guys anyone selling a jdm head unit because i want to get a screen put in??

Why JDM? Surely a head unit is just a head unit?

 

[mukydarry]

someone said gedt a jdm but couldnt i cut my old 1 so it would fit??

Do you mean Double Din? As most cars in Jap land are fitted with Double dins instead of the standard single in the uk...?

Why not buy a decent single din with a motorized screen?

 

[squarepants]

ripspeed or kenwood sell them...£500-£1500 iirc.

cant i cut the old head unit to shape or nt

do you mean the surround/facia?

 

[Shaun]

yeah i think he does, i think i stumbled on the thread he is talking about because of the Facia/Surround the screen would not fold right back.

 

[Noddie]

i think he does.... you just need to get a head unit (which is the part you might call the radio or cd player) which has a screen that flips out.

I should imagine that you'd stuggle with a K11 as it'd foul on the dash supports and all the switches etc. That is if you're talking about a double DIN unit. If you're talking about fitting an actual JDM unit, I wouldn't bother, the FM radio band is narrower over there so you're likely to miss the top or the bottom of the range

Mount the head unit upside down

my March has a double din, there is no problems if you have a facelift dash. but if you are after a JDM double din head unit then MicraFish is selling one!
