aftermarket headunit fitment

[Curious Chris]

hi a close friend of mine has just bought a goodmans headunit to go in her 2002 ibiza, was just wondering if she needs to buy a fitting kit or any connecting wires?

any help is appreciated

cheers

No, plug and play mate

 

[Curious Chris]

so does she not need a plastic molding to make the headunit fit properly? i had to get 1 for my leon thats all

 

[Damoegan]

I didn't when I put one in my mk4.

 

[Curious Chris]

how do i get her standard radio out, cos guess who gets the lovely job of doing it

 

[RichIbizaSport]

i opted for a saw blade down the slots each side

 

[RichieRich]

the release keys that came with her new cd might just do the trick but yeah there are iso plugs that slot into the standard cd player and the hole for the cd player is 1 din so a perfect fit unless its a 2 din unit then u would have to take the holder out and then its still a perfect fit

 

[Curious Chris]

its done, i used a spoon to get the old radio out and can i just add what a complete bas***d of a job!! no room for the cables to go, ended up takin the plastic tray out n moving cables about whilst the radio was 95% of the way in just toget it the rest of the way

i can 2nd that lol you get used to were they need to go, ive had 4 sets of aux cables behind there before

 

[Curious Chris]

behind an ibiza? how? my leon has loads of space, could probably stash some good sized objects behind lol but not with ibiza lol

 

[RichieRich]

yes mate in 3 different mk4 ibizas to! just plan it... they just about pushed through a gap right at the back its quite easy when u look for holes for them.. i wish i took a piccy to be honest it looked really cool lol

Which way do you need to move the haxsaw blade or the spoon handle to get the existing stereo out please?
