Headunit Depth

[snewham]

Hi, I'm new to these forums although I've been around other car forums for a while with previous cars.

Anyway, I've just installed a new sound system into my car however I don't seem to have much depth behind my headunit and when my RCA leads are plugged into the back it sits proud of the opening by about an inch or so. My RCA terminals are quite long but I still don't think buying slightly shorter ones is going to fix the problem.

Does anyone know what is directly behind the headunit space on a MK2 2006 clio? Is it the heater matrix or something else? I haven't been able to get much access to behind there and I dread taking the dash out. I did that on my old car and it was a mammoth task..

Thanks in advance,
Scott

Just keep pushing.. It will go, just make sure your leads are tucked to each side and not bunched up behing it push.. Seriously I've found sitting between the seats and using your feet the best way...

There's nothing of importance just a plastic block that vcauses the problem ... But seriously... Push

take the top of the dash out, it is easy.
this will allow you to see what goes where.
There is loads of space, just not right behind the Hu

There's two holes either side at the rear, just tuck your harness block down there, and just keep trying.
Don't force stupidly hard though in case you snag wires.
