Aftermarket HU on New Leon

[GSP]

Hi all,

Will be getting a new leon and one thing I deffo want to do is replace the stock HU. So my list of questions are: *drumroll*

1) Is the OEM setup Double Din?
2) Can you get a adaptor plate to fit the new leon for aftermarket HU? Is there a pic of one as I dont want it to look out of place.
3) ANy suggestions of HU that will match the lighting of the new leon inside?

Thanks in advance!

No to number 2, I don't know of an adapter plate available yet although I'm sure I've seen a pic of a standard Leon with a single din HU in.

I think the LEon has a double din HU but tbh I haven't actually had one to bits... yet

I've just had an installer from a company called Nationwide out to fit my handsfree kit for my works phone. He was cursing the stereo upside down as it is almost impossible to get out to run the cable or fit the mounting bracket. I would be intrigued to see a single din unit fitted to the dash as it is quite a strange shape. Anyone with instructions on how to remove the original dash could they please post a reply as the guy has just left with steam coming from his ears.

That "looks" double din to me

The stereo in the LEON has two little slots under the buttons below the screen. (see below)

I would have thought that you could get some sort of removal tool to take the unit out.

Thanks for that Leon. Im sure that will put his mind to rest when he comes back. Did try prising out with small plastic wedges but thought it might break so stopped.
Never realised there were 2 tags at the sides.

Cheers Leaky, tried that but did not work. Leonlad has sorted it with a fine selection of pictures.

Ta anyway.

Halfords use lots of little metal soft tab things that you get when you buy car radios sometimes.... works a bit better than screw drivers and pen knives I reckon . You plonk them in around the radio and pull out.
