anyone know some companies that make double din units to fit in an mk3. all ive been able to find is a jvc one. any suggestions on websites to check out?

Check out Ebay...do a search for "Double Din" and a whole mess should pop up. Hope that helps...Darshana S...

look into kenwood ,alpine ,pioneer
all make double din head units!

 

[ShowoffTSi]

NOOOOO don't do it, please for the love of god, get a single din. Make a plate to hold some gauges, digital sound processor, change, whatever you want, just don't succumb to the Double Din conspiracy!

whats wrong with double din? i'm looking into the pioneer one, it says its for GM/Chysler but i dont have ANYTHING so i'll make it fit.

 

[ShowoffTSi]

Double din is Double din, be it GM/chrystler/toyota. It'll fit fine, I just hate the damn things. They are overpriced and look just plain goofy. Try Sounddomain.com they have adapter panels that'll have a small storage compartment and a single din opening, the store thing will hold cd's, cigaretts, you can cut it and place a 1 din turbo timer/EBC in there. Have fun with it, don't be limited to 2 din just 'cause toyota wanted it that way.

i got my unit used from ktrends for 925. i believe i got a good deal because al and ed's electronics quoted me $2000 brand new without installation. just hearing 2grand made my stomach turn. its a good head unit, as long as you have the wallet for it.

ebay should have some for sale...only drawback is they don't come with warranties over internet sales.

Billy, don't forget... That was $925 without an owners manual...

he he he he he

Just kiddin' as you know.. I would've bought it too for that price.

yea...eclipse has their ESN (eclipse security network) function where you set whatever CD you want as a "key CD". if the head unit were to be removed and installed in another car, the unit would not function unless the key CD was inserted. if not, then the burglar is pretty much screwed.

only problem is it doesn't stop the thief from actually taking it out. my securities for this unit are my alpine alarm and an old jacket thrown over my dash to cover the stereo.
