Hi.
So I'm trying to fit new ICE into my car, but can't begin before starting off with removing the old head-unit. So I did that and got a new fancy one. Before I fit this, I've got to fit the obligatory double din adapter.
So I recently purchased a 'Connects2' double din kit for my 2004 facelift.
Part No: CT23LR01A
CT23LR01A Double Din Facia Plate for Land Rover | Car Audio Direct
It didn't come with any instructions.
I tried to mate up the Freelander specific plastic part, and it doesn't fit, by just a few mm on the plastic pegs on one side that protrude from the car dashboard. (screws go either side of this). Seems a bit weird, as otherwise it's obviously designed for the car.
My question is, am I doing something incorrectly, got the wrong part, or do you think it's a dud part and I need to send it back to the shop?
I wanted to ask you guys first, as I don't want to start blaming
the shop of the manufacturer when it could be me at fault.
The part says it's for 2004 onwards, which is the facelift.
:scratching_chin:
Cheers.
