Not the IR kind, a wired control that sticks on the side of the steering column (for example) that's like a stump with an assortment of rings and buttons that can control 99% of the HUs functions with twists pulls and presses. I had this on a Sony HU many years ago. I don't really see them nowadays, but back then I thought I couldn't live without it.



It's a win win situation. It's probably worth just saving for a fascia kit to be able to do what I please on the head unit itself rather than a remote. Thanks for the info but :D

Today I got my front lip and rims from ultrex. So satisfied. Next is springs and then saving for the audio I guess. Oh and need some bit and pieces. Money money money agh.

Thanks a million!


Fascia kit can be purchased from www.japanparts.com However it can also be bought through Michael at Garage88. Email him at sales@garage88.com.au

It is REALLY simply to install, so if they can't I'd be taking my car elsewhere to install the system.

Me again. Just curious, is there a specific dimension to the double din head deck I get to fit in the fascia kit? Thanks

All name brands will fit up fine. It is a standard size. The only time you may come across difference in sizing is when you go to eBay no-name branded units etc.

Generally speaking, DIN is a standard dimension (at least frontal dimension) as is double DIN

Not true. DIN is a standard dimension for the chassis, does not mean that the face is the size of a DIN unit.

For example, Alpine have just released an 8" double din unit. In saying that, the screen is MUCH bigger than the chassis. Refer to image below comparing a Clarion 7" Double DIN to Alpines new 8" Double DIN.

As you can see, the chassis size is the same, just the face is alot bigger on the Alpine and therefore would not fit in the standard double DIN fascia kit that we purchase for our cars.
