Hi all

Investing in a new head unit (pioneer double din) and just as i go to buy it the lad says "have you already got the facia kit" iv got a fabia vrs mkii does anyone know if this kit is needed? Its £50 and dont want to spend it unless vital

Thanks

Yeah you will need a facia for a tidy fit. £50 sounds a bit steep to me though.

That does sound better to me, it had the cage a a few other things in it, dont all steros still come with cages?

Thanks for that ironicaly the company that recomended the £50 one

Again thanks

Which unit have you gone for exactly? Was thinking about doing this but will the iPod still work through the MDI & how easy would it be to fit?

[carby131]

PIONEER AVIC-F930BT

Im not to sure the MDI is neccisary as the headunit comes with both usb and aux ports

If it's from a dealer £50 sounds about right. However all these parts can be bought from a car audio retailer/store for much less.

Good choice, i had a pioneer avic in the TT for a while.

Bear in mind you might need a harness for steering wheel controls and for the instrument cluster display.

If that was included in the price for the fascia its not so bad...

[carby131]

Nope no wireing included just cage a few bits and bobs and facia, its from a car audio spechialist too!

Had bad experiance there before but decided to give a second chance

I origionaly wanted the jvc kw nt30 but they were out of stock and suggested the pioneer im kind of a jvc loyalist :p

This is the £50 kit... What of this is actualy needed i thought only the top right?!

You will need the one below that too - I got a Pioneer unit installed in mine and it uses both plastics.

Not the best pic I could find but notice the plastic frames.
