sahar Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Hi, Apologies if this has been asked before. For my make of car Id like to know what the size of my factory fitted Ford stereo is (in DINs) - I'm thinking of replacing/changing it. Details of my car is below. Cheers Quote
Marky Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 you can get the blanking plate to cover the hole left when you fit a single din unit...you can actually get them from the dealers cheaper than the autoleads ones from halfords!! Quote

Guest gooner52 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 the size is just over din and a halfbut you can buy the sat nav surround that will give you double din around Quote

Here u go muffking.....Bottom pic is of my motor...if you've got this type of switch you do not need to change them... Part number is F1319217 (BEZEL ASSY) , six torx screws, swap over the cup holders and away you go... Quote
muffking Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 Cheers, makes you wonder why they didn't do that in the first place :) Quote
Guest gooner52 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 marky your switches are way different from mine after all wheres you air con panel bezel,did it not fit Quote
Marky Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 marky your switches are way different from mine after all wheres you air con panel bezel,did it not fit Well spotted Gooner!! Couldn't find the 'finished' pics so this was a 'half way through first power on' pic!!It all fits perfectly, sat nav flush, cc bezel etc etc...apart from the pill box gps antenna you wouldn't know it wasn't fitted at the factory (fooled the dealers :) )The top two torx screws are a bit of a pig to get at...you can try and take them out but I found it best to have them open about 50mm to get them out then swap the cupholders over when the whole assy is out.. if you want any more tips/info just ask...

Guest peter312 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 marky your switches are way different from mine after all Ohhh! Those switches are different to the ones in my 2005 Ghia. Damn and Blast! :) Quote
Guest gooner52 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 :unsure: time will tell if i buy the new switche lol :P Quote
dalk1 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Hi, I'm just about to order the sat nav bezel to fit a double din. Can anyone who's done this tell me if they needed to replace their cupholders or can I use the existing ones? Also does anybody have instructions for removing the bezel? Thanks in advance.Dalk1 Quote
