Double din head unit??? PM me

I looked at changing the headunit too but after some research - and living with the stock head unit for a while - I got over it.

If you do want to go ahead, expect to pay a small fortune for parts - jump into UK forums as dealers there can get the parts and importantly, are more than willing to ship them to you. Holdcrofts - who also sell gear on ebay - were the ones I looked at.

Apart from the cash, be aware though, that changing to the Honda empty double DIN unit will affect the air con system. I think to get it working properly you will need to keep the original head unit and have it installed in the glovebox/boot. Pretty crap solution if you ask me.

A better option - and more costly of course - might be to also fit the air con screen that normally goes with the Europe only Sat Nav option.

Like I said, I got over it mainly because the stock unit isn't too bad - and the cost/headache of getting the double DIN done was just a bit too much.

Of course, if you are still keen, here's a link to some info to get you started:

I know of 1 guy that has changed his headunit to the UK Satnav successfully. I want to do it too but have been quoted 4000pounds+ for the satnav stuff - not including the change of interior pieces (glovebox etc...). I have not been able to find out if the maps can be updated to Australia either.

I think the easiest/best way is to change the stock headunit. You have to keep the original connected (maybe in the glovebox) - buy the double din adaptor - maybe the Pioneer AVIC-H3 and bingo - the best compromise!

Im thinking of installing a carputer!

actually i kinda newb to this but
i went to shop in penrith

i also ask the same thing whether i should install after market headunit

they said its not necessary, stock one is good enough

currently i got install 1 1200 watt 12"fussion sub with box and 900 watt fusion combo
similar to this

looks like this on your car

thats their recommendation, its better than my old setup 2 12"old rockford with 800 watt audio art power

they really profesional, they didnt pull any interior instrument apart during installation, no scratch, all the wiring tucked in nicely and it still keep original factory condition

Well some of you might of seen my DIY on how to put the sub in off the stock head unit...
here is my final product if you wanna see it... finished it today finally..
im just lazy... Sounds good just enough bass for what i want..

nice diy :thumbsup:

did you use amplifier for your front and back speaker? or only for subwoofer

mine good enough, i was thnking 2 sub, but they said one is enough
2 more than enough. i like high bass
i still want to install amplifier for my front and back speaker. the stock speaker , doesnt sound clear , just thumping atm

[LD_Mart]

The amp in the boot is just a mono.
i did have a JBL 4 channel in there before with the stock speakers amped
it doesnt make any difference at all.
I dont think the speakers are as bad as what people are making out.
i dont listen to loud music so there is no need for me to upgrade but so
far ive had no distortion or crackling noises in the speakers.

There is a unit called an LC6 which connects to the stock OEM head unit. It boost the signal of the stock head unit. I had this on my Sportivo... It really made a huge difference and it has the outputs for the Amps... I was thinking of changing my sound as well.. but i got over it toooo...

[Ninjadust77]

i think some aftermarket speakers and AMPs running via the standard head unit would be the best value for money option. Fiddling with the euro sat/nav systems cost way too much IMO

[Entity_004]

hey Ninjadust, did u manage to pull the door off ok?

Anyone knows if 19inch will fit comfortably on the FN2R. I dont intend to lower it anymore, just want to put 19's but i dont want it to be touching all the time...

yeah got the door panel off, it was easier then i thought it would be...

if uv still got stock height im pretty sure the 19s would fit fine on the FN2

19s are a factory option in the UK. However, its the other measurements which will make things difficult. I looked into after market rims and its just oo much of a hassle and *any* rubbing on a performance car is totally unacceptable IMO.

thanks for the heads up...
