Single DIN to DOUBLE DIN, is it possible?

[jay87]

Hi, was just wondering how would i change the dash to accomadate 2 stereos e.g screen and dvd, or a stereo and cubby box as in a mk4 golf,

im guessing a new cage, but theres no were to put it?

any advice would be great, thanks

Sounds like a lot of work - probably lots of fibreglass involved?

Would be more sensible if you want a screen to just try and roof mount one?

Still, good luck

basically wanted the same cubby hole as i had in my mk4 golf, and i 4t some of the leons come with sat nav and im guessing that would be a double din unit, i just need some decent pictures of the types of dash, in theory im guessing it would be a new centre console, eg were the hazard and cup holder is and also the heater switchs and a new cage.......

You need more than the display to convert to climate I'm afraid. But you might find your manual dials fit in OK, it the control panel is the same size as the climate display unit.

gotta say people on here really helpful, yea please could i have the part numbers il get that done asap, as the standerd one does luk abit old and dull

ive put a tread up for the climate and its guna b alot hassle by the looks of it

but as Toms said possibly a audi mk1 centre console mite go straight in! so im gunna check into that 2mr at some point thanks so far every1

i see what you mean if the matrix is the same size RobM, but my matrix is built in to the surround.... its a 51 plate leon, dont know if there was a slight facelife along the way..

jay87..
if you do a search under "upto date" it should show you a thread from me.
showing part no:s and prices.
it very easy to do. remove cover where the water jets out,don't worry if it breaks you have a new one. undo nut 13mm spanner i think...may need wd40 to make it easier..then pull it up..may need a wiggle or two..fit new one in reverse.
there is a guide for this i think pabs did it..
but one thing to say is that your new wiper hole that fits on the wiper spindle is diff from old wiper...old one has teeth...get you wiper in correct postion then tighten up the nut...still works well and NO JUDDER
