Lo

Thanks again for all Your help guy's.
Finished fitting today and grounded wire to radio chassis and it works a treat

Only pain is stereo surround trim doesn't fit.
Was the same on My last double din.
Seems Lude stereo opening is non standard in the vertical direction.
Width is fine.
Cheers

Glad top hear it works. What do you mean stereo surround trim doesn't fit ? I've had a double DIN Pioneer headunit in both my Preludes (granted, they're both 4G ludes) and they fit fine, as shown below

Could you attach a picture showing what you mean ?

Lo

I will take a picture tomorrow.
Yours seems to stick out a bit mine is more flush.
The removable trim piece that comes with the stereo needs approximately 3-4mm trimming off top and bottom edges to fit in the recess.

Hi All

Here are some pics I took today to show My new double din stereo and it's trim issues

Pic showing stereo fitted and gap around it

Pic showing stereo bezel surround that as you can see is too big vertically

Pic showing stereo bezel surround from my old stereo that I cut down to fit

Any 5th Genners had similar issues

Cheers

Ah right, I see what you mean. Dunno, but maybe on the 5G the stereo is supposed to stick out further to get the bezel to fit. Seems silly though

LO

When I fitted the first double din it still had the original 97 radio in it.
I removed the outer cage with the new stereo and bolted the two exixting brakets to the sides.
I have fitted the latest one in the same way which is prob the wrong way

To remove the stereo you have to remove 4 screws and pull out the release keys wont work as I havent used the outer cage supplied.
I'm guessing this isn't the standard way to install one but I like the more flush look

Cheers
