Hi All,

Quick question, I know this topic has come up many a time but I am looking for the maximum depth Double Din unit I can buy without modifying the heating unit for my X-Type 2003 2l Petrol. I know I could fit a deeper unit anyway but I would like it to sit as flush as possible.

A few posts I have seen say around 7"(170mm) and others say around 4"(100mm). Could someone confirm what will correctly fit without modification.

Thanks in advance,
Darren

 

From what I have heard 150mm is the max you can go without any cutting!!!

 

I have dimensions in my thread

While the dash was apart, I measured to be sure; to the front edge of the reinforcemet on the heater duct, 175mm (176.75, actually, 6.95 inches).


That'll be my next task.

 

This fitted perfectly when I had it a long time ago

Did it ride right up against the rib?

 

It was so long ago when I did it,I remember that I had no problem with the install,very easy

 

That 1/4" is useful...it opens up a lot more options for me...
