Nice progress so far. It will be really nice once complete. One thing though, the yellow text make your pic's a little hard to read.
Fitting Double Din Into Mk1, Progress Pics Inside - konafocuswrc - 10-09-2008
lol yeah, yellow text..
i used epoxy and resin clay(bodyfiller+resin mixed) to fill out gaps..
it is strong enough to hold double din in..
more pic will come soon..with black text.. ;)

here is how to on bypass..unlike other pioneer requires relcoate pin..
this only requires ground pulse to mimic ebrake is on..

hey why not use a switch with two positions, one for a direct bypass i.e directly grounded and the other for the hand brake ground, so you can choose whenever you want to bypass it? not sure if that makes sense.

1 thing i don't like about is paint..
universal black got pearl in it..when there is direct light, it looks like there is dust trap inside of clearcoat..
Fitting Double Din Into Mk1, Progress Pics Inside - konafocuswrc - 10-16-2008

![[Image: finaljpgs.jpg]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/konafocuswrc/03_5%20wrc%20project/double_din/finaljpgs.jpg)
next thing is to get either zune or whatever, so i can use custom background!!
grid looking background is ugly..

Needs a drop!
I mean... nice work! One question... will you have a snap-over cover later?
The one thing that kills me about static in-dash DVD screens is the "steal me!!!!" aspect they bring to the IP.
