Double Din installations

I have the ability to fit a double din head unit into my new car. I've seen this head unit

fitted to a VW bora and it looks fantastic, almost like it was fitted from the factory.

Has anyone else been able to do this? If so can you send me photos and give me any advice you may have.

Its a Alpine IVA-W200Ri. It can be had for about £550 new. I wasn't aware Pioneer made one??

Yea but its about 1800 and does satnav and everything better unit i think JVC & Kenwood do one as well.

I know with the LCR to get double din to work with the factory Satnav you need to move the climate controls down triming the pod to make it fit then go about trimming the factory satnav to make it fit, but it will go in and once you move the climate its a proper double din, not an easy job but it can be done

I'll have to have a look on Friday. If it involves cutting and trimming then I'll give it a miss. My friends went straight into his Bora, all he had to do was remove the standard single din head unit and the pocket.
