Hi guys, my first post on here so be gentle with me :)

I'm looking at changing my 6000 to this

http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-kenwood-dpx-404u_p-27105.htm

I seem to be getting conflicting answers so I hope I'll get the one I need here.

Do I need any fascia as it seems to be the same size as the 6000?

I was looking at this but I'm not even sure if I would need it

The harness seems to be between £25-30 anyone knoe anywere better?

Cheers



You will need a fitting kit as the radio is slightly smaller than a standard Ford double din unit.

A kit will contain an aerial adaptor, loom adaptor, Steering control interface, fascia spacers and a shallower cage than the one that will come with that radio which will usually be about 10mm too long.

You have two options really, you can stick with the adaptors/spacers that will come withan installation kit and use your original fascia or buy the one you linked to which will fit around the new radio exactly.
