Stereo fitment help please?

[Bluebeard]

This is for a Passat but everyone knows CS knows all the answers...

I have a VW passat 2003 (B5?) and the standard stereo is good but I want CD/iphone/ipod etc plus maybe a small amp/sub at a later date.

I have the standard CD/radio and CD changer in the dash in a double din arrangement.

I want this stereo in my car...

What would I need to fit this into my car??

I think if you already have double din this should slide straight in.

If not something like this would do the trick I think.

What about this?

Obviously this will fit my car, but will it fit the stereo?

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I'm pretty sure all double din stereos are the same size.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Double DIN is a category of car radio head units whose size is 180 by 100 millimetres. This is one of the standard sizes for car radio head units that are placed under the international standard known as ISO 7736. The other category in this standard is single DIN which is 180 by 50 millimetres in size

 

[Mr R.]

One of these.

Sorted.

Sorted.

You forgot one of these

A trio of bald uselessness in here this evening.

 

[Mr R.]

Or you could just use this, may leave a bit of an un-tidy edge though.

And if you slip, you're taking the windscreen out. No 2nd chances.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

FLOL!

We should open a comedy car audio fitting shop together.

 

[Mr R.]

We would do well, i can see Daniel would be our 1st customer.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Yeah but he would want best cash price no doubt

 

[Mr R.]

Obviously.

His our mate.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Obviously.

His our mate.

And our one and only customer, ever lol

 

[Mr R.]

Stop being so negative.

Maybe fitting sun roofs will be a bit more us?

Sun roofs and bald heads aren't a great combo.

How about car cat flaps? No one has thought of that yet.

Hi Mate,

The metal cage will come with the stereo this is used to slide into the gap from where you have removed the factory stereo, the cage will essentially hold the new stereo in place inside the hole that is now left if that makes sense?

The wiring thats on the ebay link will convert the passat wiring to standard ISO wiring

the metal cylinder shaped thing will convert the passats radio to a standard radio connector

the black plastic will go in the hole first neaten and tighten the area

Bingo.

Lets get the wheels in motion.

 

[Mr R.]

Hi Mate,

The metal cage will come out with one of these

What the f**k have I stumbled upon.

Could you clowns fit a toaster and kettle into a clio? Would make my drive to work a hell of a lot easier.

So the two things i've linked will work? I can buy them both and I then have everything I need?

 

[McGherkin]

Yeah, should be.
l33th3tr33 I probably could if you really want to.

 

[l33th3tr33]

@l33th3tr33 I probably could if you really want to.

You're not in the bald trio.

I suppose you're in the ginger duo so that'll have to do.

yes mate, bought the same fitting kit when we did my dads golf

 

[Bluebeard]

A pair of essex Ass hats ruining my thread! lol

 

[Mr R.]

Oh i wouldn't say that.

A bit of sparkle is more like it. :clown:

 

[l33th3tr33]

FLOL.

I'll actually help then, if the standard stereo is double the height of a normal one then any double din will fit.
You'll get a cage with whatever head unit you buy so no need to buy that.


In short, yes the one you posted will fit.

The one u linked is right bt no need for the harness as it's ISO in a passat
