frathouse87 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 On rallitek, it states it need to be "slightly midified" does anyone care to explain this slight modding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1anatic Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 The JDM piece is for a right hand drive car. You drive an LHD car. While I do not own such a piece, I suppose we are talking some adjustments to correct the angles. Nothing dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmarko Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I don't have one of these either, so this is pure speculation on my part. Could it mean it requires you to get rid of or hack at the supports behind the cubby? I didn't go to the site to see their exact description though.

frathouse87 Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 I was under the impression that it was the entire piece...Maybe not though...anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fweasel Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Its not a RHD/LHD angle issue like what needs to be done with the info panel relocation kit. The only modification that needs to be done to use the single din kit is as already mentioned, remove the vertical plastic supports behind the cubby. They're thin and easily 86'd. ignore him, he'll go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googalash Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hmm I don't have the single DIN I do however have the double DIN and it had a bit of an issue with RHD vs LHD but still fit ok. I did however to cut some stuff out behind the cubby to make room for the double din unit I bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did however to cut some stuff out behind the cubby to make room for the double din unit I bought. The single din kit keeps the OEM bezel so there the issue's you experienced with your double din kit never come up. But yes, any install that involves a radio in the cubby location rewuires the vertical plastic supports to be removed. ignore him, he'll go away.

frathouse87 Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 sounds easy enough. But I've never removed the entire bezel. Does the cubby portion just slide out with clips off the bezel? Zac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zac Cubby is screwed to the bezel from the back. You need to remove the entire assembly to get the cubby out. ignore him, he'll go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frathouse87 Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 SO just so I'm understanding correctly... 1. Remove cubby via undoing the clips that surround the entire thing 2. Unscrew screws from back 3. Remove middle cubby section 4. Screw back in new single Din Adapter/Bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucas569 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 correct, after you grind down or cut two tabs off the jdm din. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixTOO Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Perhaps the "slight modification" has to do with the location of the hazard light button. I think new wires would need to be spliced in to add enough slack to relocate it to the left (Driver's side). http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/4441/150leg2dincy3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frathouse87 Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 That's exactly how I'd like mine to look, except I'm getting a 7" flipout touchscreen Do you use your stock radio controls at all? I think it would just complicate things so I'm going to leave it out and make the entire system seperate. That way if I ever go back to stock, I just hook everthing back up the way it came.
