Has anyone installed a 2nd DIN unit in their W202?
I ask as I am thinking the gap above the ash tray could be fairly easily converted to house a DIN unit.
I think Koolvin mentioned Alps had done this...
Anyone got any pics/advice?
Basically I want integrated Sat Nav, on a budget without having to replace/sell my current Kenwood MP3 Head Unit and 10 Disc Changer setup.
I am looking into this:
Info
I'm thinking to have that in the current OEM DIN slot and move my Kenwood MASK down. I have my old "cubby hole" which I would use to base the DIN slot on. I'm sure I can buy/make an adapter to give me two ISO connections. The Clarion does not need a speaker out put as it has one built in.
Cost is £999, but is a proper display Sat nav unit.
What do you think?
More in keeping with my price liking is this:
Info
Would still need to make the additional DIN fitting, but this is only £499.00
One question - will I run into any trouble with two devices feeding the same speaker cables? Had I better install a small mono speaker just for the sat nav voice?
Jimmy - can your Travel Pilot be set to Nav instructions - ie no radio audio?
