2005 Grandis - ICE Upgrade - Double Din?

Hi there,

I have joined the forums as I recently have bought a 2005 Grandis Warrior (diesel, manual).

I am finding the stereo and cd changer to be woefully inadequate for my needs. It currently has a U171 MP3 head unit, with a 10 CD changer in the boot and the LCD multi function display.

I was looking at upgrading it to a Double DIN, Pumpkin, Android head unit. But I can find next to nothing on ICE installs for a Grandis, the little I do find is not in English. It is concerning how little info there is for any kind of ICE. I know the Grandis is not that common, but I would have thought some would have made it work.

Will a double din head unit fit in the space where the multi function display and 'cubby hole' is? I have seen installs with a double din head unit installed, but the console looks a bit different to mine. And the hole might not be big enough.

Below is 2 images to show the differences.

This image is the same as how my car looks at the moment (I will call this the type 1 dashboard), with the MFD in the top slot and the head unit just above the gear stick. (Euro spec maybe?)



This image is how others seem to look (I will call this the type 2 dashboard). The head unit is now in the top slot and the MFD is now above the gearstick in a flush mount. (Japanese spec maybe?)


Now, to me, the second picture has a wider top slot.

So, the question, has anyone been able to fit a double din head unit in the top slot of a dash that is the same type as mine (image 1)?

It can be done, as seen in the image below, but I would like to know how much of a pain it is to do.



Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The best way to figure out overall difficulty will be to pull all the trim work off and look at the mounting underneath. If it is sized like I think it might be... you "might" be able to move your cubby to the bottom and put a double up top. Some plastic trimming might be required in the upper section.

Hello Rhoobarb2005.

Could you please share the model of the single din pumpkin head unit which you installed and perhaps upload some photos to show how it looks if you do not mind?

I would like to install an in-dash single din android device with a retractible screen, but I'm afraid the large screen would block too much the A/C control knobs :(

Last but not means "ICE upgrade"?

With the overall limited information avaible for the Grandis model in Internet , I'm sure you would very well understand my genuine appreciation of your input..

Many thanks!

Past een dubbele din-head-unit in de ruimte waar het multifunctionele display en het 'cubby-gat' zijn? Ik heb installaties gezien met een dubbele din-head-unit geïnstalleerd, maar de console ziet er een beetje anders uit dan de mijne. En het gat is misschien niet groot genoeg.

Hieronder staan 2 afbeeldingen om de verschillen te laten zien.

Deze afbeelding is hetzelfde als hoe mijn auto er op dit moment uitziet (ik noem dit het type 1 dashboard), met de MFD in de bovenste gleuf en de head-unit net boven de versnellingspook. (Euro spec misschien?)



Deze afbeelding is hoe anderen eruit zien (ik zal dit het type 2 dashboard noemen). De head-unit zit nu in de bovenste gleuf en de MFD bevindt zich nu boven de versnellingspook in een verzonken montage. (Japanse specificatie misschien?)


Voor mij heeft de tweede foto een bredere sleuf aan de bovenkant.

Dus, de vraag, is er iemand in staat geweest om een dubbel-din-head-unit in de bovenste sleuf van een dashboard te plaatsen dat van hetzelfde type is als het mijne (afbeelding 1)?

Het kan worden gedaan, zoals te zien is in de onderstaande afbeelding, maar ik zou graag willen weten hoeveel pijn het is om te doen.



Alle hulp wordt op prijs gesteld.

Bedankt.
