headunit brackets

[xtreme.drifting]

hey, i've just been trying to install my headunit panasonic cq-c5301w into my '89 ae92 toyota levin but it doesn't seen to mount into the brackets (standard toyota brackets) do i need aftermarket brackets to put it in or should it fit?

[Jazza]

Did it come with brackets? Cos my standard ones didnt fit in my curren. I ended up changing them for my panasonic ones plus a spare from Supercheap

The headunit came with the mounting thing that goes around the headunit but that doesn't seem to fit onto the brackets that are in the car

Are the brackets in the car designed to be held in with friction or held in with screws?

don't mount the headunit cage with the brackets.. just mount the brackets directly to the headunit's iso mounting holes and then mount the unit and brackets into the din position

its held in by screws, thanks deecee, got in in finally.

where abouts would i find a tray/cupholder of something to fill in the gap? repco etc don't seem to have any?

Repco has them, atleast the Hamilton branch told me they did? Lol

Try a Wrecker, or trademe

heh, I have three head units(one JVC, one sanyo and one no name korean thing) where I've had to grind the little metal lumps(punch throughs) that are on the brackets to get them to sit properly in the brakets... kinda silly really, but I guess not everyone plays by the standards?

Repco has them

Never seen them and i've been working there for 9 months... We do ones that clip onto the airvents...!
