am i going to need a special set of brackets for my in-dash dvd? i have my screen installed right now with the ones the car came with and there just seems to be alot of room underneath the head unit. forgive me if i sound confused, ill help you understand what i mean if you give me a little help.

 

Normally your climate controls reside in that second din area. When you move that down its gonna be empty space. I believe you are going to have to come up with some custom brackets to hold your double din. Some double dins still come with a cage though. If yours has a cage you can just cage mount it.

 

i think im just going to re-drill the old brackets to fit.

 

tell me how it fits! been looking for a double din thanks

 

Is this the one that is $38 and change? Damn that is cheap (especially compared to the Orbital).

 

yeah dude, for 40 bucks . good deal

 

Wow, that is a kickass price! I wonder if that is why Orbital stopped making theirs (I never knew why they got out of the bidness).

 

by any chance do you have the part number for that?

 

Anyone found a source for AC relocation kits?

I want to go double din but don't want to have a hacked AC plate

 

+1 wonder if anyone makes the HVAC relocation kit. Maybe some vendors can chime in on a new product.

 

It'll fit with the stock bracket holes but really poorly. I drilled my stock brackets out and was able to center and flush it and it looks fine. A little gap between the unit and the panel but nothing bad.

 

As others have stated, re-drilling is all that is required. New holes on the front of the brackets below the existing holes should do the trick.


That's what everyone else does and the Orbital install instructions include templates to provide drilling locations.


Not at all the reason why they stopped. Also, the orbital upper bezel looks a good deal better than the oem Mitsu piece.



Gonna have to use a Galant lower Hvac bezel and "make it work!"

And for anyone wondering, I've just recently sold my Orbital Kit after owning it for 1.5 years. It was an awesome piece.

 

I've heard/seen the complete opposite of what you've said from many orbital users. The fitment is complete crap, the "3D" grain looks nothing like OEM, and the JDM piece is by far superior.

 

Anyone have the wiring schematics for the galant HVAC to replace the evo HVAC?
