Anyone tried this Double DIN stereo adapter?

I have the (UK Spec) base speakers with a pro head unit without Bluetooth, so I am in the process of reading up on all the different options available to get NAV, Bluetooth and most importantly decent sounds.

Has any one tried this Xtrons Pro stereo fascia adapter?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1413485611...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I had a good google and cannot find any other details or pics. I was wondering how it compared to the connects double din adapter which appears to stick out at the bottom. A pic of it fitted would be awesome.

Any alternative suggestion would be appreciated too.

Cheers.

Great forum BTW.

Thanks, just need to find one of them for sale in the UK. Last time I checked, and it was a while ago, Amazon.com will not ship to the UK.

Have you got a pic of it installed?

How can this one work? They is no place for the buttons under the climate control to go. On the original, there is a continuous face that goes around the buttons and climate control. And then a separate panel above it that hold the radio.

looks like the only thing missing would be the heated seats control and rear shade. Those usuall get relocated somewhere else.

Luckily, or unluckily, depending on how you look at it, I don't have heated seats.

Thanks. I'd done most of my searching using google and hadn't noticed the sub forum - can a mod move this thread there please?

Essex is a bit far for me unfortunately.

Here it is in, but its not fitted well I still have to do a little adjustment. It does not sit flush like the stock one it protrudes.
