stevenw88 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Can anyone help me. I'm wanting a new double din for my fiesta mk6. Some people are saying I don't need extra fitting cage as the new one will fit the space already there. Other people are saying I need a fitting kit with cage wiring loom and fascia trim. Ain't a clue what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The Ford double din radio is a different size to a 'true' afternarket double din radio so a fitting kit is needed. You will also need the loom adaptor sppropriate for whichever radio you choose (with a steering column controller interface if you hsve one fitted). A cage is also needed. If your radio is the triple deck style one (black bars running horizontally across the radio) then you will have to either have to carefully cut the bars out or buy a fascia without the bars.

Stoney871 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Just a cage, trim kit and adaptors needed then. Something like this (make sure the sot cable is correct) - http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=231483825303&alt=web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenw88 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Cheers know what I need now. Do you recommend any double din unit with bluetooth audio and hands free calls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I can reccomend the Pioneer avh2600bt. I have one as part of my install in my prefacelift fiesta. I've got a friend using one in Hsu facelift too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenw88 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Where did you buy the fitting kit? Did you install yourself if u did was is simple enough for a novice to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I already had an ISO adapter so the enclosed loom plugged straight into it. The cage fitted perfectly into my car. As for the rest of the wiring, the speaker plug from the Iso connector plugged straight into my amp not the headunit as I used all 3 RCA out. Hence I needed no fitting kit. My friend on the other hand bought the kit of eBay, he doesn't remember the seller. It's an easy enough install though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenw88 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Ok the pioneer avh 2600bt that has hands free calls? And is the pioneer avh 2700bt the new model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 It has hands free, an optional NAV module, usb & aux in, DVD CD player, it's fantastic. Also has mirrorlink. The sound quality is fantastic, makes my Focals sound great! I believe the 2700 is the new model yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenw88 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Ginger flame u said the cage fitted perfectly in your does that mean the original cage that came with you pioneer fitted perfectly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 In a prefacelift fiesta, yes. The Pioneer cage fitted perfectly. I can't comment on a facelift as I wasn't there when my friend fitted it. You might as well get a fitting kit as well because then you've got the fascia, the iso adapter & the spare cage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenw88 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thanx for ur advice ginger flame. I went with the pioneer avh 2700bt. Carnt fault it handsfree is so easy. Play music through bluetooth and usb is spot on. Great head unit for 250 quid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cage fits into the fascia. And is fitted into the dash. The fascia has 4 clips that locks into place. Then the unit is fitted inside the cage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
