The name of component under Radio

[shox]

Hello everyone!

Im sorry if this has been answered before, but whats the name of the socket thing under the radio?? (the place where you can put stuff in)

Does anyone know if i can find alternative versions of it??

Im trying to add some toggle switches and i would like to get a version of that with a closed front, in order to drill holes in it.

thanks in advance!

ps. Sorry for initially posting on the wrong section!

It's called a Single din slot compartment.

Ebay is a good place to look for them. I was looking for one to hide a switch for my subwoofer and my Ipod in

Armour Auto who supply Autoleads Audio products do a few different types of blanking plates so that you could remove the current DIN tray & fit some toggle switches there instead.

Thanks for your input. Problem is i live in Holland =) and as i noticed from the site they dont have an e-shop.

I tried e-baying the item but i couldn't find it. Dropped an email to the local stealer. Hopefully they will have one on stock.

Update: I got the trim from the local stealer. Only disappointment is that the part doenst "click" in, because its originally made to replace the radio, and not the tray under it. I will most probably make some "holes" under my radio to attach it to. Ill post some pics if it works out

it should just push in, I know mine did when I changed the radio

weird :/

the problem is that the small hatches that hold the thing on the dash are on the top and bottom of the plate. the bottom ones are properly touching the frame below it, but the top ones are trying to attach to the top (which is the bottom of the radio). For the record, im not using the stock radio.

Am i clear?? else i can take a pic =)
