I'm switching out the headunit in my G Coupe for the Alpine IVA-W505. I have the double din "kit" (which is basically a center console + AC unit) from riverside. I know I'll need a harness and some other goodies to pull it together, but what I'm really wondering is what do I need to get to hold my Alpine IVA-W505 in place? So I've been doing as much searching as I can, but threads either aren't clear, using single din headunits, or not saying what they use. Does it just slide in? No clue. Wanna find this out before I rip open my center dash. Thanks in advance to all!

 

From the searching i've done is that. When you remove your stock unit you have to remove the metal bracket that ataches the unit to the car. Once you get your stock one out you can remove the bracket and install it in your new headunit. Thats how it is held on i believe.

 

thx! sounds easy enough! anyone else to confirm?

 

Yup, it's easy once you get it out and see it.
