hello,
i know - it's not the most important thing but it sucks:
I want to install a standard DIN-sized radio (50mm x 178mm).
But the opening in the chim seems about 8mm more than the radio masures (58mm).
There is also no good posibility to mount the radio cage and and in effect to this the radio jiggle in the hole and when I press a button or even set in the controls panel the whole radio slips into the dashboard ...
Please dont say it is a good anti-theft protection...

Is Your opening bigger too?
how did You solve the problem?
Please give me a hint!

Thanks
Peter

Nice dash.
A blob of silicone either side of the cage will grab it overnight.
You could put a few more blobs in next night after first stage is cured.
Fixed mine in this way.
It works.

You can buy blanking plates from Halfrauds that have a hole the same size as your radio and then stick out by a couple of mm to cover the bits on the side.

That's what I did!
