Apologies if this has been asked before/ a rediculously easy question to answer (I hope it is yes) just want to confirm before I go buying things.

If I purchase the double din facia/ adaptor kit can I fit in my single din headunit & storage cubby (also single din) into it (as I had previously in my golf, although no adaptor needed)

Only reason for asking is that I would like to get a double din in the future, however do not have the funds to at present, hence why I would like to put in my old radio for now

Cheers all

yeah I should think so, double din is a standard size so I don't see why not

thats what I thought...

Only thing thats worrying me really is that when I got new stereo when I had my golf, I thought 'oh yeh ill need an adaptor kit for my single din unit + cubby hole' which I put in then could never get my unit in... unless I was being a complete tool I had to take out the cage for the double din and just put the single din unit in on its own, then the tray, and it fit perfectly, no adaptors needed in the golf... dno if its the same or different in the civic, don't want to break things/ buy things and find I can't do it

I must admit I'm unsure whether you should leave a cage in the facia and slot the singledin + pocket or not, but there is plenty of space behind.

Btw its a 103mm cage that you'd need to buy for when you do get a double din HU in the future.

take it thats the one that comes with buying the facia kit from Impulse?

just spotted this thread:

Seems I do not need to use the cage to mount both units, although he speaks of some custom made brackets to hold it all in place? :S

Guess I'll probaly have to take the plunge after xmas and risk it for a biscuit til I get my double din
