Re: Double din navigation sirius radio ready Reply #1 – April 11, 2011, 12:19:53 pm Yahoo Message Number: 6755We have an Eclpise double DIN in ours but I can't tell you much about the install as it was already installed when we bought the coach. It is a clean install, so it's possible.As far as the TV's go, I can send you pics of ours but over the winter we have replaced all of the woodwork in the coach with cherry and doubt most will want to do the same thing we did as the front would involve a complete rebuild. We now have a 37" LCD which can be hidden with a panel which snaps on the the face of the cabinet. That panel has dummy outlets and mount to make it look like the TV has been removed (we can aslo easily remove the TV). The stereo gear is now hidden behind a false panel with dummy wiring in the open shelf above to also mimic that the elctronics have been removed. The rear CRT TV has been removed also. The cabinet is exactly the same as before except is now has a flip up door. We just take one of our 19" LCD's with DVD built in when we go. I can send pics or post them in the photo section if anyone wants a better look. There have been good clean replacements done by others in the group that involve far less work.Greg05' Endura Quote Selected

My problem is the dash has a wood panel over the front which obstructs the stereo frame.~Victor Burns | +1.760.672.8767 Mobile+1.760.814.1801 Google VoiceGreg Thompson tehya.eva@...> wrote: Quote Selected

Re: Double din navigation sirius radio ready Reply #5 – April 11, 2011, 03:45:13 pm Yahoo Message Number: 6764The trim is the same regardless of the style - wood or plastic I beleive...It just pops off. It pulls out enough to remove the stereo - pulling it out all the way is a little tricky.When I was looking for a double DIN for my silverado, I just searched ebay for "Stereo double din" and then sorted by price...Once I found units that were in a price range that I was happy with and had the features I was looking for - I then searched Google for reviews on the model.

No idea if anything was modified inside to make that fit, but it's in so I guess a 165mm depth should work.GregMNVictor, It's the depth I am worried about. DD 7"x 4" Quote Selected
