WRX screen not such a bolt in...

So I got the WRX touchscreen and it doesn't fit the bezel. Its perfect width but like 3/8" too tall. If I'm gonna have to trim the bezel why not just save $200 and fit the 8" in it.

Also some little thing on the back needs to be soldered (sp?) on.

what car are you trying to fit it in? (sorry had to ask, i'm looking at your signiture).

Doesn't fit in my Celica either. A strict double DIN opening is 4" tall, but the Mechatroniks aluminum bezel is apparently 4.275".

Its a 2005 Saab 92-X which is a Subaru WRX wagon. The radio is the same P/N as a WRX with 6 disc in dash. Also has the same bezel.

[could be remembering incorrectly]Didn't he have a note on his website (in the FAQ?) about the kit being for the coupe and not the wagon?[/could be remembering incorrectly]

Also it may be that something has changed between the 2005's and the model year that the kit is designed for.

Anyway, you should ping them directly. I found them great to work with when I got mine. Did you get yours from the store or directly from the guy that makes them?

From the store...who makes them? I ended up returning it today and ordered a screen only that I will fab into place.

Which LCD did you use. I have a LinITX screen which fitted perfectly, also the Lilliputs are the same dimmensions and also fit these chassis.

I will be uploading some shots in the next day or so to show how i fitted the LinITX to this particular chassis.

Hope this helps.
