Just bought my first jag.
Just signed up for the forum, hi!
Just started looking into aftermarket head units.
Just realized it might not be as easy as I thought.

I've read the posts saying that you're limited to 6.75-7.00 inches of space, right? Stupid air duct! -_-

I'm really just looking for a media player though. Just don't have a need for CDs or DVDs anymore.

So, my question is, how much of a pain in the *** is it to install a shallow 3.00-6.00 inch media player?

Any help would be much appreciated!!!! <3

 

If you have the cassette version, these are an option for an mp3 player

Being through the same issue myself recently the expensive way.

Units I know to be compatible:
Kenwood DPX405BT (you do have to modify the heatsink slightly) - had installed previously
Asteroid Parrot Smart - had installed previously
Alpine INE-W997D - currently installed
Alpine ILX-700 - Alpine customer services confirmed to fit.

Unit I know don't fit:
Kenwood DNX5170DABS - brought and tried but too deep

The limit is at the top of the stereo of about 6" depth, at the bottom you have about 7.5"

 

I have a Alpine ILX-107 in there. Steering wheel control retained, back up camera and because my car had the premium system, I had to buy a new amp

 

So, I was looking at this one:

Pioneer MVH-AV290BT

Dimensions:
9.6 x 6 x 10.8 inches
