Fitted the alpine CDA-117ri head unit (the dash on these cars is a bloody nightmare with so little room behind the headunit!
Routed the iPhone connection/control behind and through the centre console to come out through the ash tray.

But figured it wouldn't have much reach like that
So did a bit of bodging on the ashtray as there is a hole in the side where a clear orange cap is in place so that the iPod connector would go though.

Plus side is that it can all be pushed into the ash tray to keep it clutter free.

Also fitted the mk1 arm rest to it as it is a bit more plush.
Problem was that the retaining clips are different on the lids so needed to be swapped to keep the lid shut properly.

And swapped the mk1 glovebox over as it is flocked inside and noticed the distinct lack of sound insulation behind the mk2 dash compared to the mk1!
