I have a friend with a Mark VIII and he wants to know if a double din will fit and if they sell a kit for it. Any pics would be great. Thanks in advance

We have a 1.5 din..

Lots of us have a double DIN unit in our Marks. Mostly Pioneer AVIC D1 and D2 units. Soon a Z1 in mine to replace my D1.

Does anyone sale a dash kit for it? Or is it custom made to fit.

I don't think anyone "sales" a kit a it.

'nuff said.

:lol:

Either you dont know what Im talking about or I dont understand you, but if you are trying to be funny, let me clarify. There is a kit for aftermarket stereos that audio shops sell. This kit allows you to correctly brace and mount an aftermarket radio into the same spot as an oem radio. I do not have a Mark, I have a LS so I have not gone to an audio shop to ask if they sell one for a Mark. The answer that I am looking for is yes (they sell them at audio shops e.g best buy, audiovice etc.) or no ( I had to make my own bracket to make it fit correctly)

Oh, I know what you're asking. You obviously don't understand what I'm poking fun at, so I'll try to clarify it for you. I'll even type slowly, so you can keep up. :lol:

If you still don't get it, then spelling pwns you. (Yes, it's spelled "pwns" on purpose.


To repeat what I originally said... I don't thik anyone SELLS anything like that. You really don't need it anyways. Only time you'd need something like an install kit is if you were putting a single DIN into a bouble DIN or 1.5 DIN opening.

He was making fun of your grammar. It’s not sale it's sell.

As far as I know I think most double din units come with brackets in the box with the radio. The double din should be an install and go. I don't know if there is any installation kit or not.


got to it before i could :D

you have to cut 1/4 inch on top of the opening for a double din to fit, just get the unit, measure, mark were youre gonna cut and cut away, all of those universal brackets and what not do not apply to a Mark VIII, unit just fits snuggly in the opening, on a Gen 2 like mine you may have to relocate the air bag module, i just had to push it up and reroute the harness to the buttons for the message center, and what i believe was the interior temp sensor.....hose???........i dont i just rerouted that thing, fits fine :D

Are those night lights (HVAC, seat heater controls, message center, etc), actually blue, or is it just the way the camera saw them?

camera phone :( .........wished they matched, headunit is blue though........

I think everyone types mistakes, didnt really catch it. I wasnt trying to write a book or anything. good catch though. I completely missed the whole meaning of your post. Was thinking that you were just bsing. I do feel pretty slow at this point. Thanks for the pics also.

No worries. I like giving crap to the LS crowd. It's all good.

I don't think Mark VIIIs have bouble DIN CD players.

Ofcourse they do! Mine has a bouble DIN opening. It Boubles.

If you have a 93 or 94, you can only go with a single din.
