Not that I would do this but they even have a module to connect 4 cameras for a 360 deg view around your car plus another module for blind spot monitoring these guys are quazy...if it would look more factory and the cams would be hidden then I would be all over it but I’m not jerry rigging cams on my doors lol!

Looks good, however it won't fit because of the side flares look at a 2 din or double din. If you can get one with 4 GB of ram go for it, it'll help when you're running multiple programs.

Also you don't have to spend 300 for a reverse camera. The Ryden cameras are cheap and are great quality,

Yeah I e-mailed them asking which radio will work. They aren’t labeled on the website but I know for a fact one fits. YouTuber has one installed.

ANY of the double dins will fit aka (2 din) just make sure they aren't over sized

I'm having a wonderful time getting seicane to give me the correct head unit for my car. I will let everyone know once I get a confirmation.

Do you think this will fit? Would we need the Metra kit for a 2 din radio?

Frustrated...I posted a link to a guy that installed a seicane unit in his car but seicane is saying they don’t make one for my car:

as others have said - you just need the plain 2DIN version. The link the guy posted in the youtube video had a vehicle specific bezel. I imagine he either removed that bezel or linked the wrong one.

To be honest I wasn’t entirely sure if “universal” would work so I was double checking...I had a feeling though.

I’m looking at getting this (cool thing is you can get a usb CD PLAYER option if you want to play CD’s that way you have more screen):

Ok don’t bite my head off I know it says universal but all the other head units are 7 inch 2 din but what about this one...

Head Unit Link

Can a 10.1 inch screen fit in a 2 din slot? It just doesn’t seem possible?

mini_cal · 02-18-2019, 12:42 PM

The unit I've looked into is called ATOTO and is available for a reasonable price in Canada. Everything seems to be decent - going to install later this week.

The 10.1" units are usually a double din body that installs where the stereo usually goes, but the screen itself plugs into the body on a hinge mechanism. The android units they rarely show a side profile and only show a head on angle. Here's an example:

It's the same thing I've seen with other manufactures. Ignore the (what fits) buy a standard double din and install it done.

I've even seen things fit that crutchfield says doesn't fit.

Thanks...Crutchfield has a set of JL Audio 6x9 components that says don't fit but when I spoke with a salesman he told me that they do fit and not to worry. The dimensions imply it will not fit but its so close I can see how it would.
