Seat DIN (cd blank thingy magigy) ?

[modd1uk]

Will be putting a new stereo on my mk1 leon, question is..do i buy a genuine seat DIN plate, or an aftermarket one ? Always been under the impression OEM fits better.

Also seen a stereo i like but..its smaller than a standard CD player, so it has its own plastic adapter thing to make it into full size...so if i went this route it would be..SEAT din, then a pioneer din then finally the player, will this look stupid ? The stereo does everything i want it to do im just bothered about what it will look like !

if your putting in an aftermarket cd player you will need a wiring adaptor and a radio booster as the standard unit has one built in i think i bought a kit from ebay and it was about £15 i did however need another radio wire adaptor but got one from ebay for £1.99
