I just got my TC a week ago. I decided to go for a model with the basic stereo (without Ipod connection) because I wanted to get my own somewhere else. Right now I'm planning to go for the Alpine iDA-X001 (which according to online reviews seems really cool -- and I have also tested it in store). I will have it installed by Bestbuy since I don't know much about that kind of stuff and I wouldn't want to end up messing up things...

My question is:

I was wondering if I could find a dash kit (is that the right word?) a bit fancier. Let me explain here... I noticed that most aftermarket stereos are installed using a dash kit with a hole in the upper part for the stereo and in the bottom a hole where you can store stuff ( like this: http://i11.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/9e/a9/f7f6_1_bl.JPG ). Do you think I could find something better? Maybe without the hole in the bottom and the stereo centered?

Sorry if I didnt use the most appropriate language, but I'm new

 

I don't think I've seen anything, so I'm just guessing you'd have to do something custom if that's what you're looking for.

I don't know though... someone might have something for you.

 

i got a piece of abs plastic and shapped it to fit the bottom.. it looks like this..


however its secretly a screen.. lol


and it secretly folds away. sorry about the second pic i didnt have a better one on photobucket :p

 

Wow, I didn't expect the replies to come in so quick!

The piece of plastic could be a solution... But in case I decided for something costum (but I don't know if I can afford it), where should I go?

 

you can ISO mount it, but iono how close to the center itll be. you could also drill holes in the stock brackets to the height you want it to be. then get some abs plastic and cut it to fit. shouldnt be too hard me thnks.
