MOD job for Head unit in Sonata Embera

absynthguzzler · 3rd August 2008, 19:18

I need all the help and knowhow that only T-BHP can provide.The image above is of a SONATA EMBERA DASHBOARD .

1) Is there any special frame or attachment that enables me to remove the OEM head unit and replace with either Single Din or Double Din unit.

2) If it can be done , then i'd love suggestions on what head unit members have seen,that would match the grey tone of the dashboard and not be a contrast.

3) If Head unit cannot be "swapped" , is there a tried and tested mod that any of you are aware of ?

4) Can i in any way, modify the OEM to play MP3's ? as in the front facia remains the same and the unit lying behind is replaced and wiring is modified as per the buttons on OEM Facia.

i hope there are answers to any of the above and you guys help me find a solution. The Embera is a cracker of a buy now after prices have dropped almost a whole segment. Makes more sense than a CIVIC IMHO.(A Pete'd CRDI version). But if i cannot be entertained in it,guess i'll have to wait till i finish my Contessa upgrade!(12 months min)..

Thank you all in advance .

The distributor for Scosche is based in Bangalore. Any good retailer should be able to source it for you.
