I posted this in Mikal52's thread, as he was looking for something like this, but thought it would be useful here too. We have all had the single DIN pockets and head units that don't quite look right once installed. Well, the black FP9140 (and FP9141 - grey) is the answer - seriously!
I had to wait a few weeks as these were on back order, but it was worth it. The longest time taken to install this? Finding four 5mm x 6mm machine screws to hold the head unit to the new frame (took around 3 minutes to find them in my "spare" screw collection). Total install time, including removal of old frame and pocket was around 8 minutes. ![]() This fascia is great - I would strongly recommend it for anyone looking it doing an aftermarket single DIN install in place of the factory double DIN, and in fact, I would recommend it for anyone who has used the single DIN pocket. The best part is they are only around $30 to $35. Check it out Here

When I first changed to an aftermarket headunit I bought an item that looked the same and I "think" it was the same part # but it was not double din. It was probably 1.75 din - about 1/2" shorter than double din. When i took it back the guy at autobarn checked his cattledog and said that it was an for an AU1 not AU2/3. They may have changed it to suit (I note that Aerpro say that it's S1,2,3) but just thought I'd check with you. If it's double din, I'm in ![]() |

If both are single din (size) then it would make the item a double din (size). The one I bought was smaller than double din (size). The opening for my factory head unit is double din... the fascia I bought a few years ago was too short to fill the space... there was a bout 1/2" gap at the bottom (or top). Hope that explains my question a bit better. edit: It looks like a double din fascia. In SR's pic, if you overlay the head unit onto the pocket is seems to be the same size (single din). JC will confirm I'm sure but it's a good find by the look of it. Last edited by ronwest; 15-11-2009 at 01:56 PM. |

The facia/fascia is double DIN size - fills the hole in the Fairmont the same as in Inferno's pic. The slot for the headunit is single DIN, leaving a DIN sized pocket. camera batteries are charging, so will get a pic in a few hours. It looks as close to factory as you can get (in fact, I rekcon better then factory!)

Yes, it has metal brackets that mount to the side of the head unit. It's the best mounting I've seen and used for an AU (and I've had a few AUs, and each has had an aftermarket head unit).

with that gap you will find that you have to push the top in abit more so that it clips into the dash as my one sits better than the factory head unit. ill try to get a picture up of my one as i have had it in the car for ages.
