i had a pioneer AVCI-N1 flip out screen in my Evo 8, i just recently bought a evo IX MR and im goign to be doing alot more work to this car. I really want to sell this Pioneer unit to buy a full screen navigation unit. my problem is i can not find if anyone makes that dash piece for a double din and makes a A/C relocator kit. If not i will just have to custom make everything but if anyone knows where to buy the jdm or uk dash piece and a/c kit or anywhere else that makes the conversion please let me know!! thanks alot

LOL! that was a good one...

 

ahh ic. im so glad you like to be funny, i had searched many different phrases such as "dash conversion", "double din", "a/c relocator". and guess what nothing comes up that is any help, soooo why dont you try and see what results you get, im sorry for asking for a little bit of help, thanks for the link but was the rest necessary? thanks

 

i like the a/c unit that orbital is providing but i do not liek the 2-din with the large lip on the top, does anybody know if the oem uk 2-din piece is able to be purchased anywhere in the states?

 

available at japanparts.com
$150 USD

 

hey man, thanks alot thats a hell of alot better looking. thats what i was looking for, thanks. -Scott

 

i dont get it...what good is it to buy that part if you want a double-din setup?

 

Mainly because it's double-din...

 

call me stupid...but where would the HVAC controls go?

 

Ralliart has a "carbon fiber" look cover , double din like those shown in post #6 too. Matches with the rest of the 06 MR interior pieces.

 

orbital kit for the win

 

That "large lip" on the Orbital Kit is functional. You'll regret getting the OEM piece because the angle the head unit is mounted will cause the screen to drown out with sunlight, but if that doesn't bug you, then by all means go with the OEM piece. Each to their own and +1 on the Orbital Kit FTW.
