i have a problem finding any touch screen in dash decks for my 2005 jaguar x-type.

 

craigslist, ebay, crutchfield and so on. Check out the thread by Dennis Black, nice how to. Google his model and find deck that fall in the dimensions.

 

Yea you are going to need a mounting plate. But a double din touch screen should fit.

 

Can some please give me an faq or list of suplies i would need to put in a new dash deck. (I'm new to this)

 

You'll need the deck, face plate, wiring harness(no wire cutting) and antenna adapter. Follow install instructions and your set.

 

if i buy the deck is there some were i can go so they can get all the parts and install it for me. Im just 18 and dont want to buy the wrong parts and tear apart my dash and dont know what i'm doin.

 

take a look at my thread (my x-type projects and installs ) if have you need help thats not a problem

 

Honestly i would say go buy a double din deck and take it to a place liek futureshop or best buy. There prices are reasonable and they usually have everything you need in stock. Also keep in mind when purchasing a deck you want one which will be compatible with your steering wheel controls. May I suggest the pioneer z2 or pioneer z3 deck? I bought the z2 with the z3 upgrade off ebay a month ago just waiting to find some time to install it. I have seen it in friends cars and its pretty impressive. Does anyone know where i can buy the dash kit in canada for under $50? Well if not in canada, then any where else for under $50. Only places i found online wanted payment in pounds and the conversion isnt too good right now.

 

read my thread ask me any questions there

 

Jnew, where do you live. I am in Southern Maryland and do car stereo stuff on the side. Wiring up the stereo shouldn't be an issue. It should be straight forward and will be much easier than some of the other projects I have done. Let me know if you need help. Like was mentioned, an install kit, wiring harness, and an antenna adapter will get you most of the way. I will even show you a few things for future projects too.

 

Dennis where did you buy the dash kit from? Also looks like you painted the face of your hvac controls and dash kit. What procedure did you use for painting and what supplies will I need and what kind/ brand of paint?

 

It will bolt up just fine, you may need some extra washers to get the spacing right. I found no need for the cage at all. The most difficult part of the job is the fitment of the deck.

 

where did u buy the mounting kit

 

Thermo, feel like taking a trip to Birmingham

 

Scroll down to the X Type parts.

Kris, unfortunately, no trips are planned for that area. I might be heading to Atlanta, but I think the wife might get a bit pissed if I made a detour like that. I think you might like what I have planned for my car though when it comes to the stereo. I have a Kicker KX 700.5 sitting in my house right now waiting to be installed. Going to hook it up to the factory stereo so I can keep all the Navi stuff and A/C controls yet get more sound and quality out of the speakers. Also installing separates up front and in the rear along with dual 12's in the trunk. Should be interesting when I am done. I'm doing a bit of playing at the moment with ideas. I will make sure to take a bunch of pictures as I do the install. The only major question remaining is finding out what style of alternator our Jags have so I can upgrade the alternator to handle the 70 amp draw the stereo system is going to be pulling. I'm thinking about installing a 200 amp unit to cover the bases. He he he he he he he.
