2din conversion with pioneer
I have recently purchased a Pioneer SHP DA100 App Radio2 after looking at members and others reviews and fitting experience. I bought the cheapo 2 din Fascia and modified it. I shaped two pieces of wood and glued them in with araldite and put four brackets on. The overall result considerably strengthened the flimsy fascia and I was able to mount the radio direct onto the fascia. The hacking inside the opening was in order to fit a previous radio head and is not needed but all you have to do is cut the corners as mention my other members have. Also I have fitted a supporting bracket but I don't think I needed it as the fit is fairly stable

Very neat.
Like the idea of using the 2 wooden blocks. I think i will copy you on that when i will put my 2din unit. my car entertainment upgrade should cost arround £700 with the new tracking security system. (will be doing a inter European trip in July and dont want to risk loosing the car) |

Hi thanks, its pretty easy just mark the contour radius on to the pieces of wood and jig saw. I roughed up the inside of the fascia a bit and glued the bottom and the sides and as I said it supports the head unit fine

Great way to mount the unit I should have mounted mine that way would have saved making up brackets from bits of perforated strips.

Hi overall I am pleased with the fit. The Pioneer is superb and with sharp images and highly configurable android via your phone with ARliberator I have had several 2dins over the years, including the original fitted unit first fitted by picky 747

Ten years later, inspired by your solution, I managed to make 3D printed supports for my Pioneer SPH DA 120. It works perfectly. Thank you sir!
