I've got my cd deck where I want it, but it only takes up one of the two DIN slots in my FC. Any ideas of what else I could put there? Something that will fit right in...

 

Some people put a pocket in there, gauges, or even a Ford cup holder/coin tray to fill that spot. I put gauges in the upper din panel on my car.

 

Just buy the pocket for now, and if you need a place for gauges, you can place them there in the future. BTW, the pocket shouldn't be too expensive.

 

Switch panel ?

 

A pocket is the best short term solution.

 

where do you guys get the pockets?

 

Circuit city, bestbuy, good guys or any small stereo shop will sell you one. If you go to a big store, don't expect to find them on the shelves. Ask one of the audio installers and they'll get you one.

 

i was wondering the same thing...right off the bat i'd say get a custom made panel to mount guages to...but that won't work for me since my guages will be custom made into my original cluster...

i was thinking about some type of full din eq..or some type or crossover...hmm...years ago i had this setup and it worked awesome...but now aday's most stereos come already equipped with eq's. i wonder if any company sitll makes eq's full din size. anyone?

 

Pioneer makes some heres one

the pockets no a bad idea.. but i think itd be cooler to put something electroinc in there; switch panel or something...

 

i have a din pocket with a flip up cover and inside i have my link control for all my gauges. keeps the car interior clean.

 

Where'd you get the DIN pocket from? A ford? I don't want the cup holder/coin holder combo because i have a Auto and if i'm in park it won't open. I just need like a DIN pocket. Thanks guys.

 

I mounted my AVC-R below my headunit...I have an R2 and it didn't have the stock CD player, so I have this nifty little black door that opens and so now behind it is my AVC-R...if you want I can take a pic...

 

Yes please, i need idea's of what do do when i get rid of my factory cd player in my 93 rx7

 

heres my setup....tech edge wideband and the BLITZ SBC-iD....

 

niiiiiiice. that wideband sensor looks expensive

 

For an FD you can just order them from any mazda dealer. for FC, I have no clue.

 

hey that stereo looks exactly like the one i had in my crx
is that an alpine 9827?
im looking at the 9833 next time around.

those alpine mp3's are nice. i loved mine

 

arent all DIN slots the same size? if the pocket fits in the FD then it should fit any other car.

 

Thanks, i didn't know Mazda made a DIN pocket for the 3rd gen. New to me!!!

 

im putting my new mobile popo scanner above my cdplayer

 

yea i was actually thinking about doing the same. r u getting one that will fill the DIN?

 

that wideband sensor setup is nice! Not a fan of the woodgrain trim though :\

 

i have one that is smaller than a din. its the Uniden Bearcat BC350A

 

Im movign my logicon to the bottom, puttign the radio in the center and the wideband and safcii where the logicon is now, but this wont help you much since im doing it and your not allowed to
