FAQs

What is a fascia fitting kit?

A fascia fitting kit, also known as a facia plate or dashboard adapter, is a component that allows you to install an aftermarket car stereo into a vehicle that originally had a different size or style of radio. It fills the gaps and provides a clean, integrated look.

What size stereo does this kit fit?

This Connects2 CT23UN01 kit is designed for standard double DIN car stereos, which typically measure around 173mm wide by 98mm high, and offers a 100mm mounting depth.

Do I need any other parts to install a new stereo?

Yes, you will likely need a vehicle-specific wiring harness adapter to connect your new stereo to your car's electrical system and possibly an antenna adapter. Steering wheel control interfaces may also be required if you wish to retain factory steering wheel button functionality.

Can I install this myself?

Basic installation is possible if you have some experience with car electronics. However, precise fitting and electrical connections can be complex. If you are not comfortable, professional installation is recommended.

Will this kit fit my specific car model?

This is a universal kit. While it accommodates many vehicles, exact fitment can vary. It's essential to consult compatibility guides or a professional installer to confirm it's suitable for your car's dashboard.

What is the mounting depth?

The CT23UN01 offers a 100mm mounting depth, which is the space available behind the fascia for the car stereo unit itself.

Troubleshooting

Fascia does not fit flush with the dashboard.

Ensure you have selected the correct fascia kit for your vehicle's make and model. Minor adjustments or trimming of dashboard plastic might be necessary in some cases. Test fit multiple times before final installation.

Stereo is not secure in the fascia.

Verify that the stereo is correctly seated within the fascia's mounting brackets. Ensure all mounting screws are tightened appropriately. Check if any additional mounting hardware specific to your stereo model is required.

Wiring connections are unclear.

Refer to the wiring diagrams for both your car stereo and your vehicle's specific wiring harness adapter (sold separately). Professional installation is recommended if you are unsure about electrical connections.
