Recently bought a double din head unit to replace mine but having massive trouble fitting it. I cant get the cage to be flush it just sticks out. Ive attached some pics if somebody could point me in right direction of what to do?

Thanks

is there actually enough room to fit the radio in without cage flush?

the radio goes in without the cage, but is loose and doesnt fit flush.

If u look in the hole you'll see like a plastic H bar

U carefully remove that ( watch the loom )

It will give u clearance

^^^ What he said. I`ve fitted a JVC double din to mine a few days ago, had the same issue, snipped the H bar out, sorted!

Where is the h bar on the side or right at the back?

Also the head unit only came with a half cage that the head unit screws to. Is that all I need or do I need a full cage?

The H bar is right at the back. All you need is that half cage you have, that`s the same as I fitted.

So its just that at the back? Whats best way to cut it?

Thats it, 3 cuts n gone

A hacksaw blade will do it

Just go careful cos of loom

U could get medieval and use side cutters

Snip snip

Yup, that`s the puppy. I used tin slips believe it or not, probably not the best, but it worked. Just watch out for the loom/wires as Lloyd mentioned as your doing it though.

cheers for the responses, will give it a go tonight. do i need to get rid of all of it including the bigger bit in the middle?

Garden cutters rip that mofo up nice and easy

As said, this H piece has to go - I reached in with a good pair of side cutters and butchered it out, like a bad dentist pulling teeth!

 

It took me about 30 seconds. And stereo fitting became joyous.

Yeah bud

Both sides.

And along bottom
