Hey all,

So im realizing pretty quickly that having a 6 stacker is a real pain in the ass, and would like to look into options for putting in a Kenwood stereo head unit? Has anyone on here ever done this successfully?

What face place would i need to be buying as it looks like the whole front console is attached with the air conditioning etc??

Any help would be awsome, cant live without AUX and USB input these days!

I have 4 cd's jammed in there and they wont eject, so if changing out the stereo is too much trouble, is it easy enough to remove the jammed disks from the stacker??

In the other thread you posted, I replied with an ebay link to the facia you will need. Your A/C unit will unscrew from the existing cover and can be inserted into the new facia.

I would say you can't mess it up...everything only has one place and most of it clips into place. The hardest bit is buying the harness adapter. Found out recently that most new head units come with ISO plugs now, so there's one less thing to worry about.
