I want to replace my alana headunit on the mk4 ibiza, but when i went to fit my sony headunit it didnt sit flush and didnt lock into place, im guessing im not the only one to suffer from the problem due to the shape of the dash, im just wondering if anyone has got a suitable replacement headunit (£250 max)which fits perfectly?

i found that the cables at the back need sorting out and moving around to allow the head unit to fully slide in its a real pain ive cut most of the carride at the back
also fits better and the bottom as there is more room to move the cables!

aint there summat that cant be moved below the wee shelve? i cant be arsed running down the stairs to check

 

[gazjones]

you can swap the radio and cubby hole around just need to flip the cubby hole upside down and it fits perfect

might give it a try, dont really fancy the cd player being so low tho

 

[gazjones]

mine is there and is easier to control while driving as its so close to your hand on the gear stick

 

[ibizasport16v]

ill give it a try, alana aint too bad , just lack of repeat and the other wee features is annoyinh

i fink if ya push n hold a button, it puts it on repeat n mute, one of the number buttons???

Push and hold number 6 - think thats repeat track! It als has shuffle and other fuctions like that - it's amazing what you find out by reading the manual!

im just lazy tho

i read the manual for the car, not for the stereo cause i didnt plan on keeping it

take the top out of the glovebox ( about 4 or 5 torx screws ) and then you can pull the wires back from behind the HU. Then they fit easy
