C5 HVAC Controls... Single DIN?

Hi,

I want to drop my HVAC controls into the ash tray area, then put a single DIN HU into the area where the HVAC originally was. Will it be a perfect fit? (<- the HU) Or will I need to do some cutting? :confused: I haven't pulled it apart yet, so I'm not sure if there's anything behind the HVAC controls that would be in the way. The HU is 6-1/2” deep.

Thanks for the info! :cheers:

Anyone tried this?

I just put a din sized EQ in the same place and moved my HVAC contols to the bottom. No issues at all except having to drill a couple of extra holes to mount the HVAC contol.

Hi ltnate. Thanks for the response!

Do you have a picture you could post or e-mail me of your finished installation? I'm curious to see how a single DIN sized unit looks in that spot.

Thanks!
:cheers:

I have a bunch of pictures posted in the root directory http://www.flamingpaperbag.com/radioinstall/

I can fix you up with a mounting plate that will bolt up to the air control mounting holes.

After you cut out the ash tray area, how do you secure the piece to the frame, I know there are 2 screws in that section holding the plastic trim piece on there? Do you just the one screw by the ignition???

Thanks, Justin :flag

I just used the one by the ignition and the 2 screws under the ride control switch. There are a couple of snap tabs along the edges adn top that hold the unit in pretty securely. :thumbs:
