you can custom make one like me emoji remove the top heater vents, fabricate a bracket for the headunit, make a new piece to hold it with clips, and then put a screen where the headunit used to be! if you are intrested, let me know, i will help you out with how to do it the right way!

Hey emoji that would be great ..... I just want to make my sony cd player on the lower shelf instead of the upper one and such its just no one freakin sells any kind of alternatives for the mounting bracket. It would be great if you could let me in on how exactlty you can fabricate one. If ya could just email me at Eclipse80@aol.com with maybe some type of write up or something. Thanks again for the responce emoji

um i dont know if this would work or not but if you just want it in the lower spot where the tray thing used to be, try like flipping the bracket upside down or something. dont know if that would work or not, but hey what the hell, its worth a shot! rate me please! emoji

If you flip the bracket over, the mounting holes won't line up to mount the radio and brackets to the dash. If you just want to put your radio lower in the double din spot, typically where a pocket would be, just put the radio where the pocket is and put the pocket where the radio was, just don't flip those brackets.

it isnt, hard. Just mount the unit somewhere and remove the face. next you can solder wire between the face place and the unit. Just look at where the connecter plugs in when attached and put a wire in between the posts. I have seen people mount there face plate into the rear view mirror. It isn't that hard to do jsut hard to explain.

After getting my head unit stolen last year, I made my own brackets. I got some Al 1" bars from Homedepot. I don't have any pics yet, but I'll get some to show you. Just measure and bend!

They've been doing this for years man, it's nothing new. YOu get a long ribbon cable...kinda like what you see in your computer, so that it has like 25 small wires on one long flat assembly. Then you solder each wire to the connection pins on the face plate, then solder the other end in the same order to the head unit. You need a micro soldering kit though, cuz your normal soldering stuff would just cause a big puddle and fuck it all up.
