Pioneer DEH-P70BT(the one with bluetooth connection).http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Pioneer-DEH-P70BT-CD-MP3-Player-with-Bluetooth_W0QQitemZ5811080388QQcategoryZ39762QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The question is, what have you guys done with the other din space, besides leaving an empty shelf? can you fit gauges in there?

Look forward to seeing your careativity.

I take it you want more than just a nice cubby hole?! :) If you want the cubby hole, Toyota do one for about £15. Search on here for the part number. :thumbs:

HKS do a DIN sized gauge holder that takes 3 small gauges - hard to get hold of now I think though. Other companies probably do similar items, the only one that springs to mind right now is this:

3 x 52mm gauges, quite a tidy and useful way to fill the hole.

Yeah, thats the kinda stuff, hard to find though...

I did find this on ebay, totally useless, but looks kinda cool.

Top class mate!

Thanks :)

see this thread for info regarding the dials:
http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=48340&highlight=dials

To be honest I haven’t seen or know any details on the P70 so
can’t really comment. However, I have recently bought that P80
and I'm impressed with its performance and looks, although I
keep selecting the audio settings when quickly changing songs which is a pain in the ass. Still gets my vote tho :)

Did mine with 6mm MDF, filler and then sprayed the whole dash..!! There is a pic knocking about on here somewhere, will try and find it..!! But I like that 4 dial panel idea, but would have to mount my boost controller elsewhere..!!

I smoothed my single din over and had the 3 buttons under it smoothed aswell as they were not needed, this is the only pic i have but you can just see...

I also have the ashtray smoothed over and the effect is really good :D

Best pic of mine I could find was this one, you can see the hole left for a GReddy boost controller to go in...!!

I have this neat little a storage case in my second din slot, cannot find it for sale anywhwere though. Its a Pioneer Carrozzeria RD-L110 case with two little analog sound level displays. It was in my mr2 turbo when it came over from japan and kept it for my supe.

Pics aren't that great they were taken at night on my phones camera.
