scrap the RS option the only good one was about £80 lol
maybe better off with this: amazon link cheap enough to take a punt on I would say but you might prefer to find something of higher quality I suppose it's even got an optional little dust flap while on topic I also changed the ciggy lighter on the rear of the arm rest (for back-seaters) to a twin usb charger as well |

I also have an aftermarket head unit, not a dissimilar setup to Stuart. I went with an absolute cheapo amazon special with Android auto, I'd probably recommend getting a nicer one from a proper brand, but I just wanted a working stereo.
I still have my cupholder, the facia panel isn't a great colour match, but its functional. not sure exactly where the facia panel came from, but I did find it on ali express here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003136145481.html I also ran the cables for the usb and AUX in to the arm rest, giving me a place to tuck my phone out of the way.

And re: handbrake: next time you're in just take the cable and tie it either to ground or 12v permanently (think its ground, can't remember) so you don't have the problem.

Do love the fit on that sub, that's tidy.
Nice to see another one in the non leather seats base model gang.

anyway the light switch dimmer isn't really a drama, you leave the headlight switch on all the time anyway don't you, so either way you have to go out of your way to dim the screen by switching one switch or another.. 6 of one half a dozen of the other I guess. what does annoy me is android auto is supposed to auto switch to map dark mode when the phone does it which is the only reason you need the dimmer. but they haven't sorted it out yet. white map at night is a problem the only difference I can find between headlights on or off is the main beam stalk behaviour. and even with it set so it 'clicks' on and off I've kind of learnt how to flash it without it clicking anyway (just pull gently) |

cheers took a bit of faffing around to get it bang on. as you may have guessed the sides of the box are actually just flat, and the curvy ends are just glued on to fill the gap above the arches. it's a bit of a wiggle to get it in and out
since then I fitted a black plastic mesh across the whole front of it to stop things hitting the cones or shorting anything on the amp connections (which are also taped over just in case) |

I agree, it is quite easy to just turn on the high beams when you're just flashing.
