What fascia did you use?

I'm very dubious to paying £180 for a fascia!

Theres a fascia available from Pioneer that I've seen used in a mk7. You need a couple of bits n bobs extra though.

It's £180 but you need to break down what they are including at typical eBay (or equiv) prices for parts like these:

Two fascia panels (top screen & main unit) = £35 each = £70
ISO lead = £10
Other accessories (can't make out what they are!) = So let's say = £5
Control unit to allow use of steering wheel remote controls = £70

That's already up to £155 based on low, estimated prices.

Depending on the coding required, the steering wheel modules can be very expensive (I remember paying over £100 a few years back for one).

£180 for just a fascia is a lot but this is not just a fascia that they are selling! You also have the benefit of someone else finding the various bits and bobs you need to make it work without the hassle.

where you finding these prices? £70 for the wiring to use the steering controls?

Estimated prices based on what I've paid in the past when upgrading HUs. I don't know about the new Fiesta but the steering wheel control adapter can easily be £70 on many cars.

I was just trying to show that, while £180 seems a lot for a package, it it quite a comprehensive kit and that the individual components do add up.

Yeah man, I getcha. Seems to be that if I want to avoid the.cheap and nasty, its gonna be very expensive. Still to add a £500 head unit plus an amp to my already bought kit, then install it all in one go....

I know this is an old topic, but you ever get round to fitting an aftermarket stereo?  I'm up for replacing the standard head unit in my MK7 and wondered if you had any success?

 

Tanks in advance.

Don't do it Steve! Aftermarket ruins the look of the dash in a MK7, makes me cry a lil each time I see one.

[BobbyBCFC]

These don't look good at all. With iNath on this for once

[Steve_goral]

There must be a way to make it look good,  I do like the stock stereo but it would be nice to integrate a sat nav system into it.  I hate having an ugly thing stuck to my windscreen.  

 

Has anyone ever mounted a tablet into the dash?
