Default They don't have it, so I made it /shrug

So I made a din out of the middle storage area... just finished.. tomorrow I hook it all up :o

Edited.. I included some more pics.

This is the custom piece I made. The stock piece is stepped between mounting holes, but when I looked at the decorative strips that hide the screws they were smooth and allowed me to just make this out of a flat piece of plastic, and then when I screwed it in it curved slightly to fit against the strips. I found out that short gardening shears are really really good at cutting plastic ;) .



This is the bracket I made to strengthen it (90 degree bracket from OSH). I had to cut it a little so that it wasn't hitting anything when I went to mount it.



Screwed in and ready to go.



Yay.. watchin movies in the Xa... soon to be playin Xbox ;)

no one manufactures a din as a replacement for the "oven". I did the same thing so I could fit my HU since I used my 2-din slot for my screen. Good job though

Yah.. but I'm part scottish.. so I like the stock radio haha.. the pioneer it comes with is very very nice.. if I ever decide to go all out though, I'll just change it up. I also hate to have the screen that high, because I get eyed by the cops :\
