Talking Double Din Project
So I finally decided to install my Avic-D3. I've seen a lot of command installs but haven't really seen any pictures of an aftermarket double din screen in a w202.

I made a cardboard template to get some rough measurements and will be making a trim ring out of 4mm lexan. I'm going to wrap it in carbon fiber vinyl instead of painting it once It's finished.

A/c controls will be relocated to coin tray area.

Did you use the original coin tray as the trim ring?
