Looking to get a double DIN dash installed. The lazy side of me can't be bothered to do it if I can find a recommended installer in the Sussex / Surrey (Guildford-Kingston-Gatwick ish) area. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all the suggestions here & via PM. None of the installers suggested are very near, and if I have to spend a day going / waiting / coming back, then I may as well do it myself...
Just got to decide on which stereo to fit now... |

Hi have done it so its not particularly difficult
You make have to extend some of the switch cables - I had to extend 2 in the end as the cables were just too tight to get the unit back in comfortably. Just allow a day to fit it, as said is not difficult you just need to work methodically and keep everything tidy, and when putting back in try & run as many of the cables as possible away from the headunit as it is a tight fit behind the head unit. Good luck - there are some very good guides on here  2020 P300 HSE |

I figure I'll need to extend some of the cables as I've got to relocate 4 switches out of 6 that are wired as 2 pairs of 3...
I'm having more trouble finding a unit that I want to put in at the moment! I did think about the Alpine iLX-700, but not really sure how Apple maps / CarPlay behaves if you loose your 3G signal while navigating... (and it seems to have been out for a couple of years without being updated.) |

There is a place in Herts that specialises in audio and does Defender installs.
I can't think of the name of it for the life of me though. Can anyone else think of it? I swear it's in the Herts / Essex area. (And no before anyone starts, I do not mean CSK.  )
Or as suggested, there is the option of doing it yourself. Most info is online, but can be time consuming if you are very busy with other things. No Guts, No Glory. 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪 |

I figured that if I could find a place that was recommended locally, then I'd let them do it - but otherwise if I have to spend a day travelling, then I may as well do it myself...
I haven't found my 'perfect' double DIN stereo yet though.. |

Custom90Steve - is it Audio-file at Bishop Stortford you're thinking of? I believe Riverboy used them?
There is TMD Tuning at East Hoathly too. James
