When I get my Ibiza I want to get a decent stereo for it, I'm not a fan of the standard tape deck and CD changer arrangement.

I've seen on ************* some mods to the dash, one where the LCD is down in the little cubby hole by the ciggie lighter and another one where the a whole new panel has been made and the stereo sits underneath the LCD.

The latter idea seems cool, but how much work would be needed to make a similar one like that? I like all of that but I would have to have the stereo fitting flush.

Failing all these, I'll just have to admit defeat and buy an MP3 CD Changer and put it in the boot!

It's possible to do it, but it is a lot of work. I've been planning this myself and I've got the front of a 1.4 sport to play around with. It's not a simple job as all the electronics need wires extending and bits moving.

After trax I should be making a start on looking at this properly and also the moulded Ibiza boxes so I'll let you know.

Would it not be a case of getting a plug in loom for a Leon or a MK2 Ibiza from Autoleads and plugging it in or is it harder than that?

Would love to see the result!

It's not the stereo that's the problem, It's all the electronics that you need for the air con etc that are a problem.

Is it because all the controls go through the stereo into the screen?

I wouldve thought that they would all be seperate to the stereo.

Yep the stereo and the controls for the aircon etc all go into the same unit. Why they did this I'll never know.

You'll need to cut out some plastic in order to get it in, I just thought I'd give it a go with a Pioneer sitting about, it wouldnt go in!

Very novel idea, do like it!!!
