Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

upgrading stereo in a 02 Astra

Petey89 · 2013-12-16 18:26:48

Like the title says I want to upgrade the stereo in my astra, the thing is the one I want is a double size one in Halfords and my dash only fits a ordinary size because the air con controls are under it, is there a way to modify the dash to fit it in? Or will I just have to settle for an ordinary stereo!

Nope. A few diehards have butchered their dashs to fit one but its a big job and hardly worth the effort.

I have seen lads at my workshop who have tried to do just what you are thinking of and honestly they have destroyed their dash. Run a mile from it.
