Just to be picky (and on a vaguely interesting aside), it's not a "DIN", it's a "double DIN sized stereo surround". :P

DIN = Deutsche Industrie Normen, which is the German Standards Institute who published some original car stereo standards. Which is where the term "single DIN" came from; a stereo that fitted the "single" sized German standard.

:P

I don't understand why the trac off and heater buttons need to be re-located for a slab of plastic???? Shouldnt it just cover the radio void?

[voiceinsideyou]

No, as it's one unit which replaces the usual mount for the buttons. THe reason it does this is that it needs to be clipped in to the recessed plastic clips at four places - otherwise it'd be just clipped in at the top and would be loose around the head unit. Two clips are at the top of the factory head unit, and it uses the two clips from the normal button mount to hold it in at the bottom.

Besides, it looks cleaner as a single unit :]

has anyone got pics of this stereo din and a process pics of how to remove and install ?

if yes that would be muchly appreciated :)

I butchered Exeter's pic:

Steps to install:

1) Remove plastic cover over screws in top unit that holds GPS/tray

2) Unscrew and remove top unit

3) Remove backet holding heater/fan controls and factory head unit.

4) Unscrew the factory stereo from the bracket.

5) Screw in the aftermarket stereo to the bracket. You may need to use the new surround at this point to estimate the correct placement of the aftermarket head unit.

6) Remove small unit holding TRC/SNOW controls (will come out of two clips either side)

7) Replace bracket into car.

8) Put TRC/SNOW controls into new DIN surround, then clip surround in around the new head unit in the four places indicated in diagram.

I think this is roughly accurate...
