Freddie Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Morning all, I wonder if anyone has done this: my car came with a Pioneer double din head unit (I am an old f@rt so can't be doing with touch-screens and menus in cars) and am interested in the simpler Continental unit which as we know is a single din. So, does anyone know what bits need to be put back in that the PO would have chopped out, please? I've not pulled the unit far out yet so don't know what electrical horrors await... Thank you in advance, the Pioneer one will be on eBay soon. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Once you remove the stereo you will see a frame. You need the single DIN version or non PCM version of that plus any cubby holes and fascia trims you might be missing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bud, may get some cup holders to fill the gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Much nicer to get a set of three clocks eg volts, oil temp, oil pressure or similar. I appreciate they'd need wiring in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edc Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 If you have a facelift car it should have cupholder at the top of the frame section. I'm not aware of any cupholders that fit the cubby holes. The lower one for a start is angled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bud, it's not a facelift (MY2000) but my previous 98 2.5 had OEM cup holders above the stereo, perfect fit. Heater controls are already down below in the console bit so (fingers crossed, how hard can it be 🤣, should be an easy job...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look cheap and rubbish, avoid. Think I threw in the bin straight from the packaging.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
