How to post pics: When writing a message, scroll down and use the "attach file" option. Where possible, a photo sharing service can be used such as Flickr, Imgur etc. The image location (usually ending in .jpg) can be copy and pasted between the ][ brackets that appear when you click the 'Img' button (you can find this button at the top of the message box).

How to post youtube vids: Click on the 'youtubeHD' button at the top of the message box and in the middle of the ][ brackets that just appeared, copy and paste everything from the youtube web address that appears after the = sign i.e if this is the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cNqaPSHv0 just copy "K2cNqaPSHv0").

Ok guys. Been speaking to the manufacture. Updates are due soon for the headunit to tweak some of the little things I have spotted. So I'm ready to get some in for those that wish to do the same install. I need to order 10 at a time so please get in touch.

8" version is £499
7" version is £449

7" version requires less modding, you don't need to lower the heating controls.

CCC members get 10% off the above price. And shipping is £10 to your door - or with shows coming up I'm sure we can meet up.

Comes complete with gps and hands free. Recommended getting the bluetooth obd2 module direct from manufacture.

Customit@hotmail.co.uk
Or send me a PM

Don't forget the rest of the 6 part install videos on my youtube channel, just search for martin stockwell on youtube.

brilliant looking job on that head unit conversion. i was thinking today how rubbish my standard one is.
looks like it took quite a while to convert though.

just out of interest have you upgraded your speakers too?

Hi, thanks very much. no I havn't needed to upgrade the speakers, the standard ones that come in the F-Bodys aren't that bad. the conversion took longer as I was taking pictures and working out what can and cant be removed in order to make it reversible if necessary (so can have it put back to original equipment).

If I were to do it again it can be done in a few hours...

I use the software that came with the obd unit. Think you can download from play store but won't do alot till you got the adapter.

Cool. I'll wait and see what happens a bit then.
Just curious did you save the adapter plate for the single din unit you removed? If so how much would you want for it?
