Just got delivery off my double din unit today and got stuck into fitting it, its a full sized unit and I'm having a bit of issue with the depth of it, it just doesn't seem to want to go back completely. On mudstuff who I bought the facia from suggest a few things that can be done and I'm wondering if anyone can elaborate on this or has any advice?
"Space is very tight behind the Land Rover Puma dashboard – even with the original single DIN head unit. Adding the extra height and wiring of a Double DIN head unit into an already packed dashboard that was never designed for a Double DIN in the first place and space becomes very tight indeed.
When installing a full depth Double DIN unit you may have to trim the plastic off the bottom of the clock. Note how the shallow depth of the mechless unit clears the clock in the pic below.
On a full depth head unit you may discover that the central support bracket at the very back of the dashboard may need removing to provide clearance for the back of the head unit. This can be found attaching the dashboard to the tubular bracing bracket."
