Hi there
I'm looking to possibly buy a second hand Ibiza 1.8T. Is this the one which has the head unit, sort of, combined with the rest of the center console? If i got the car i would like to put the kenwood touchscreen lcd in... how would i go about putting it in the center console?

Regards
Stu

Your best port of call would be to head over to ICECAVERN (http://www.icecavern.co.uk) check out the galleries. There are a few people (2-3) I know of who have stripped the dash to bits to install the headunit in a standard like location. Others have gone with the airvent mod. Either option is a lot of work.

Good luck.

Unfortunately the headunit and Aircon, controls and display are all the same unit. A huge mistake somewhere in SEAT. It is possible to separate them out. There is a company in Italy or belgium that produces a replacement facia but I can't remember the web site addrees for it I'm afraid. this is the main reason I chose to buy a MK4 ibiza rather than a MK3.

what year were the marks? i think the one i am looking at is a 2001 model. i've only seen it on autotrader, so I'm not sure what the interior is.

BG Car Hifi did it for him... Whether they would do another one ( or how much it would cost ) is something you'd have to ask them...

Stu,

If you send "mike20VT" a PM he has has a seperate head unit installed out of the way under the steering wheel. This is a better way to go as you dont invalidate any warranties by cutting things up.
