Fitting VDO Dayton CD Changer Part 2

[Omid]

Ok guys, got in a big hooha with Renault Today, I had ordered a 8200082120 bracket for my VDO Dayton CD Changer and it turns out this doesnt fit my CD Changer as its for an alpine

It did come with 2 brackets but what is wrong?!? What do I need to get this under the passenger seat

What does it look like? Pics would be good. I needed a little tweaking to get mine to fit.

 

[Omid]

one sec ill get photos up

 

[Omid]

There you are

 

[bmh.01]

Yep thats the right one, why won't it fit? Looks exactly the same as the one i've got?

 

[Omid]

the holes on the bracket dont line up with the holes on the big black metal thing :S

 

[bmh.01]

I see, time to break the drill out then i'm afriad. Easy enough to sort.

 

[Omid]

do you have a pic of yours, i thought of that but the front end is too low so the draw doesnt slide open :S

 

[bmh.01]

Its very close but you'll manage it, and mines got an aftermarket alpine changer on it now so i've had to chop the wings off and drill new holes for that.

 

[Omid]

anyone selling an alpine changer?? lol

 

[Omid]

i just had a eureka!! If i bend back the little lip for where the bracket slips in this will let me adjust it to match the holes no drilling necessary!

Why drill and bolt it? You can just use double sided tape to attach it to the bracket, that's how most are done.

Duck tape FTW!

if in doubt duck it.

Pikey as fcuk, thats why. If a jobs worth doing and all that.

Ok well i got the wiring done today at a local garage run out of places to shove it so it is under the cup holder for now lol. Where has everyone hidden there wiring?? I dont want to hear from those that have had their dash off. lol

Is that all you need to fit this? i.e. Renault told me today there are 2 bits to fit in an alpine changer? I've only ordered the base plate (£8), do I need the mounts for the changer as the changer I've got came on a ph1 bracket.

No you'll be fine, it might take a little modding but it'll fit just fine.
