Double din bezel

[TheKelly's]

Hello all,

I thought I had bookmarked the site but....

A while ago I had found a site that had custom made XJ/MJ dash bezels for installing a double din stereo. However now I can't find it! Has anyone else found/purchased one?

I've seen them online for late model XJs, but can't recall one for earlier years.

IIRC, someone made 1 or 2 one-off bezels.

 

Never a production item. 

 

Pretty cool though.

How can there be a double-DIN bezel for the MJ? The only way to physically fit a double-DIN head in the single-DIN space is to remove the entire heater control unit. Then how do you control your heat (and a/c, if you have it)?

In the link they modded the heater ducting and moved the HVAC controls down.  He used the 96 style dial controls because the massive slider style control head wouldn't fit.  I'm guessing if you used more of the 97+ parts you could use the 97+ HVAC controls.

 

Sounds like a lot of messing around to get a double DIN in there.  I've never seen a double DIN I liked enough to bother...

The one I'm thinking of was a site that had them for sale, I just thought I would buy it when I was closer to putting the dash back in and now I'm paying for the procrastination.   We want to be able to use Android Auto and the google maps for nav.

what about using a tablet and hanging it off the front part of the dash lip?  (essentially hanging it in front of the radio and heater controls but it a way that they are easily accessed)
