Double din installed
As you can see in the pic on the left of it where the white super glue is i cut the black piece out so my climate sensor can be installed as i didnt want to start cutting wires. You will probably find that both the tube and the wires are too short to reach this location, and so both need to be extended. The wire i kept the same length, but the tube i took out and modified it for the right fitment.
blank piece i cut out with stanley knife

once that was complete i super glued the climte sensor in the cut out hold so it did not fall back out or move.
The next problem i came across was the cigarette lighter. now this the only source of power to your car for your sat nav phone charging. so what i did was remove the lighter from the single din ash tray, which i can tell you was not easy at all but patience and slow working on it and it will come out eventually.
i cut the plastic from the top and bottom.
bit of force it will come out there is a black plastic piece on top that needs to be removed first before the lighter comes out. hey its out......
next i cut the facia where the diagnostic port is as my diagnostic port is on the handbrake console so no worries there. Just a little trim round with a sharp knife will be fine..
same will need doing on the console itself
test to make sure the lighter sits in properly. dont worry if you have slightly cut more off as you will cover with the facia
i did forget to mention you will need to cut around the diagnostic port on the rear of the console too.
facia installed with the lighter in. it will be abit tight as i found the console frame in the rear was in the way of the lighter again abit messing around and it should all b ok.
