Considering getting a 2DIN H/U as I don't like dash pockets. Currently have a single DIN JVC h/u. Is there any installation issues associated with this? Friend whose parents used to have a TJ said it was a bitch to install.

Opinions/solutions? (like sourcing the relevant bracket from a Verada maybe)

Cheers!

Nah, it's not too bad. Check this link

The only potential problem (especially on TL's) is depth. Hardest part is getting the air vents out. I use a plastic coated coathanger, bent at the tips, to grab on the inside of the vent and pull forward. I've taken it on and off a few times now with no dramas. I've had a KJ verada 2DIN head unit in my TJ with no dramas, and a TL verada on in there now. No need for an extra bracket, I used my single DIN/pocket bracket in both cases

Thanks mate!

Think I'm gonna go an Alpine 1DIN unit anyway. Need to find something to get rid of the dash pocket.

Got a single DIN Unit containing a pull out coin pocket and 2 pull out drinkholders from supercheap auto $6...cheap and handy :)

Nah, already got 2 cup holders in the TJ centre console. I'm not American, don't need more =) I'll probably get a gauge holder and 3 52mm oil temp/pressure/water temp gauges.

check out import monster i think it is. They have a couple of genuine mitsubishi 3 guage single din units. about $100, ralliart ones are 10x that. It has oil pressure, volts and someting else. looks pretty.

i didnt want to start a new thread for this:

but i have had a TE (its was my parents) before i got my KJ verada XI and i tried to pull out the air vents and broke them!

$500 to repair, but i put it back nicely and they dont work (parents dont know that :))

anyone have anything to say that can avoid this,

make sure you disconnect the vent adjuster before you try to pull the vents out...

yeah, i did that, that was like the first thing...

put when i pulled on the top of the vents, below the LCD display it broke, and doesnt go in properly!

I haven't had any trouble pulling out the vents. probably done it 10 times. just need to use slow, gentle pressure instead of yanking on it. there is a tool that Mitsu workshops have, kinda like a heavy gauge coat hanger with a rubber sleeve on it to protect the plastic.

If you can afford $650 for a headunit you can afford $15 for a console :nuts:

the head unit is 450 and its not the console breaking

its above them (the AC vents) i broke my rents old TE magna and they said its 400$ for the vents... :confused:

Ummmm ever heard of a wreckers?
Most you will pay is like $5 for those things

point is, i dont want it wrecking.. and i heard you can buy a tool to prevent it from wrecking...

and how can something worth 400$+ go for 10$.

you might have lost the clip or something
i've pulled mine and my olds mans apart a few times and havent broken anything

the reason why they are cheaper is because they are second hand and mitsubishi love to charge
just go to a wreaker mate, you'll be surprised on how much you save

thanks MR Roberto,

im planning on installing the pioneer AVH-P4000DVD 2 din and want it flush, completely.

so hopefully all goes well

Dollar signs go in front of the amount...
As i said, Go to the wreckers...
you have obvioulsy not been before but you should as you'll save yourself a ton, if you dont wanna go, let me know, i'll pick one up for you and send it to you for $300. save you a few pennies :)
