Head unit replacement 2013 Ibiza 6J facelift

[AmbitiousButRubbish]

This is pissing me off now... I've got all the bits I need, and a switch panel in the post for relocating the hazards, but the kit I've bought : Here doesn't fit properly, there's no proper mounting holes or anything in the dash, and the cage can't go deep enough in because of the lump in the back. (See images).

Not sure next steps? Worth me sending back the kit I've got and finding another? It doesn't look like anything will fit however.

send it back and buy something of quality...

It's a connects2 kit, which should be good quality, but if you have a suggestion of a better one please fire away.

I personally have positive experiences with the vehicle-specific Zenec models

Watching the video from the zenec installation the vehicle they are installing into has holes in the dash they screw the new head unit into. Mine doesn't have that (see images in op). I'm installing a double din unit too.

why DIN2?

why DIN2?

Because there's almost no single din units and basically everyone says double din fits - which it does, the stuff that doesn't is the mounting hardware.

why not the vehicle-specific shape?

The vehicle specific shape is just the facia panel, which is what I'm having a problem with for some reason. The zenec unit is really really pricey, you can't buy it anywhere, and doesn't even have android auto etc... the dash fits a double din unit, so I just need to use the correct facia to adapt it, but my car seems to be odd by lacking all the mounting holes others seem to have. Zenec or not, I don't physically have the mounting points.

OK, I know of a DIN 2 holder for this model that fits properly.

why not a good Chinese device in vehicle form?

That's literally what I've got, eonon ua12s+ , but it requires the facia plate like most of the Chinese head units.

You got the link for that 2 din holder?

Sorry, translation error. I haven't found one yet that fits properly.
