You could do it yourself no problems.
We / I can guide you if need be, and the best part all free of charge.  |

Also as the switch relocation panel requires cutting the dash and extending one or two switches wiring, I'm not sure any of the usual places would be happy to do that. Halfords certainly wouldn't touch it!
That would make it a job for a Land Rover customiser, most of whom are on here. Not sure what they each charge but certainly chris @ CSK, FCX, Brendan etc all offer it I think. See my thread here of fitting my parrot asteroid smart double din, complete with video on the last page: http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic26531.html Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Thank you for the recommendation
We no longer offer a fitting service as actually this is a time consuming job and isn't as easy as it may look. The panels do not include the heater / clock section at the top, this has to be cut off of your existing centre panel and reused (we have take off panels in stock at Ł50 each ready for you to adapt if you want to keep your existing as a spare) [URL=]  Click image to enlarge[/URL] There is an existing bracket behind the dash that is welded to the bar that holds the dash to the bulkhead, this should be removed to stop the new stereo being pushed upwards (some companies just bend this) There is also a bracket that holds the heater pipes that needs to be modified for clearance. Cutting the hole for the switch panel can weaken the fixing points for the dash panel so careful positioning is required. Dependant on which switches you relocate, it is not necessary to extend cables. We have a leather trimmed cubby that has positions for the hazard switch and three other switches which eliminates having to cut the dash at all and allows reinstatement of the original single DIN stereo come selling time.
