IINexusII Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hi. I'm in the process of converting the mk2 stereo to the mk2.5 but I seem to have an issue. My car doesn't have the holes for the mounting brackets. Is this normal? Do I need to manually drill the holes? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 They don't all have the holes unfortunately. I'd offer the brackets up to the radio front frame so you know which positions to drill the holes (you only need one at each corner). If you are using self tapping screws I'd make the holes slightly smaller so they have plenty to bite into. Have you seen my radio fitting guide available via my link under my posts when viewed on a PC? There is one picture that is marked to show hole positioning.

Stoney871 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I think you may have to drill another hole each side for the 'duck bill' clips on the rear of the brackets as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpionSX Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Or you can tape the brackets with doulbe-sided tape like I did :D ...it holds pretty well, though I did have to drill the holes for stereo holding screws, which hold the whole thing together...not to mention, the plastic trim which holds pretty damn well clipped on top of it :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IINexusII Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 thanks, i ended up breaking off the rear duck clips and sticking it on with double sided tape, held really well. i seem to have blown the rear Speakers or something as i instaled the head unit though (android).. reinstalled the original sony square one and didnt seem to play out the rear anymore aswell. Other than that everything else runs fine :) thanks for all your help guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
