As above, has anyone fitted one of these and if so any advice?
I have a Sony unit that will link my phone, have sat nav, voice activation etc that I would like to fit but no idea where to start with fitting.
Any advice much appreciated

Hi Troopy
I gave up with all the crap in my Audi
double din etc etc.
bought a mechless Kenwood for the van and use my phone for satnav as it's more upto date than the 4 month old tomtom I bought.
just added a spare phone cover to the dash which I slip my phone into.
Much easier and nothing left in my van when I leave it.
Regards
Rick

In fairness I purchased the head unit for my Subaru which is now non-existent and I know I won't get what I paid for it so seems a shame for it to go to waste

Hi Troopy
a single din struggles to not dig into the heater as all the newer units have heatsinks on the rear face which the plastic heater housing can't deal with.
im not sure that a double din would work unless it has no cd player so its a short unit.
I looked into double din and gave up when I measured the space in the T25.
I think you might need to build a box above the dash to be honest.
But feel free to try.
Just don't chop your dash then find there is no room
