I have a kenwood head unit in my 172, but for some reason it won't go back far enough and sit in the cradle. Its only a normal depth head unit, fitted it to 2 other cars, but won't fit in this one. any ideas?

 

[The Big Yin]

Space for wires at the back of the HU can be a bit of a problem. When i fitted mine i had the top of the dash off as i was fitting new components at the same time and this makes it easy to pull the wires into the right place and allow the HU to sit in its llocation easily

john if you're selling the old one my pug's cassette deck is looking to be replaced.

 

[Djw John]

The only problem with it Rory is the internal amp has died so you need an external amp to actually hear anything! However I have one of those too

 

[Muttley1]

nice one thanks! think i'll get the dash off tonight!
