Whichever owner put the double din head unit managed to butcher fitting it :(

 

Looks like they've cut it with a stanley knife it's not even cut neatly.

 

It's just got a JVC one in at the moment but I've seen some really nice one's on some supras that sit it and don't stick out at all.

 

I'll pop a picture up on my lunch of the state it in, I'm hoping I can neaten it up and don't have to get a whole new center console.

 

May have to pop into my ICE specialist see his opinion Saturday morning.

This pioneer one I had in last TT. Bluetooth dab etc I can't remember the model though but I'll try and find out. I think halfords still stock themhttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/16/a762b55e339c5ef4e4f832ce81174e4b.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/16/b91ce27bf25dffe143ae5b2c8d7a86b7.jpg

 

Looks smart mate, Like the felt interior mine has seen better days so either paint or that are my options.

 

Just depends if i can rectify where mine has been cut with a shiv by the look at it.

Sorry mate, that is junk. The only possible quick fix I can think of is some JVC double DIN units used to come with a 10mm deep trim, that may work. Otherwise it's a new dash panel.

 

What I thought :/

 

Gonna take it to my ICE specialist to see if he has any ideas.

 

I don't have a clue what they used to get this or what they was thinking.

 

It just looks nasty without the edging case on it.

I had the same on my last supra when I bought it. They do it when fitting a single din stereo that flips or moves open to put CDs in I think. Virus is breaking a supra at the minute so you maybe able to a dash panel from him or give keron a bell

 

Oh right, May see if i can fix it just for now.

 

Yeah just the paintwork and wheels need attention first.

 

All part of the fun and ride of fixing it all up i guess.

If you find something like this

And superglue it to the dash panel will hide all the cutting for now. That's what I did originally before getting new panels and retrimmed

 

Yeah I've got that blue tac on at the moment, Until I can see if i can get anything done.
