I think i have the correct name there, DIN it was once upon a time the name for a Standard sized aperture in a dashboard to accomodate a Radio which over the years have got more juicy than just an ordinary radio !.

Anyway i see a lot, if not all of the current crop of cars have the Radio as part of the dashboard, so i have to ask is it easy (and cheap) to get the bits to enable me to put my really juicy DIN CD/Radio into my MERIVA 53reg Enjoy dashboard.

The spec of a Radio I want to put in has far more features than the standard Radio/CD, such as USB socket and WMA/MP3 capabilty etc.

yes it is possible mate

i have a double din in my astra and i know a few have replaced theirs with similar units to yours...

you will just need the correct fitting kit for the radio and your car and possible a facia surround..

all will be available from any audio shop or online..

OOOO eeerrrrr, thanks Vinny, the place i am thinking of may well be shut down, you may know of it, it is down the end of a road called Kingsway, off of the main road between the M1 and Bury park, you go down kingsway and it on the right where you turn right at the bottom (where it goes to watford electronics in FinWay). I think that is the correct road anyway. I dont get the motor until the end of the month.
