Hey guys not posted in a while but very happy with my latest project which is a double din system.
I went for the Alpine INE-W710DC which is interesting as it is a double din front but only a single din back (see pics). Anyway that meant no removing of the metal bracket in the dash, and no bending of plastic ducting. Also lots of room for wires and cables which has been an issue on installs I’ve seen. I also didn’t have to extend any wires for the relocated switches which was a great relief 
Head unit itself seems great, nice screen and very responsive. DAB, built in satnav, CarPlay etc etc... Thought it might be of interest for those looking for a ‘low-hassle’ double din install. Very happy

I have installed a Pioneer and finding it is touching the metal dash support ever so slightly and cant get the flush fit I would like 
Not sure how best to resolve it. But that is a tidier option for sure | m3vert Member Since: 15 Mar 2018 Location: Central Scotland Posts: 162

Looks very good apart from the scratches in the dash?
Oh and ocd alert. Your vents are not aligned! 😂😉 |

Scratches were part of an earlier job a few months ago to fit dab

I guess the built in navigation. Built in nav carries a premium of a few hundred £ over ones with just CarPlay or whatever.
It’s a pretty high spec unit, with the high end touch screen, Etc Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Looks great, I'll be doing this install in the next few weeks (Hopefully)
Are you still happy with the stereo? Can i ask, where did you get your fascia from and was it decent quality? And have you looked for something to fill the round hole? I find that no-one uses them at all. |

Hi,
Yes I absolutely love it - it’s brilliant. I got the facia off ebay https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=ht...3043247064 - seems to be pretty good quality (no worse than the factory one) and having the vents attached is a hugely useful feature (some require you to cut yours off). I managed to fit mine without extending any switch wiring too 👍 Regarding the reloaction panel, I think if I were to do it again I would just fit something like this: https://www.mudstuff.co.uk/products/electr...mount.html Hope that helps Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Absolutely, brilliant help.
I have no ABS switch in mine so would have 4 left over to relocate. I can stick in the blank and add a stitch for the rear heated seats. (Kids!!!) Price of the unit on eBay was no cheaper than the ones from defender upgrades etc.. so will still get one from a proper ‘shop’ What camera did you go for too? Yours has two av inputs does it not? |

Anyone used the disco 2 switches in the 3x2 mount on here?
No size on mud website so wondering where they fit on the side nicely. |

Looks good
If the cost of this head unit is £950, have others done this for less (closer to £500 say?) I have seen: https://www.mudstuff.co.uk/jvc-double-din-...45dbt.html for £369 https://www.mudstuff.co.uk/puma-double-din-facia-matt-black.html for £265 Are there other costs on top of this £634? |
