That looks exactly like the surround i bought form ebay (about £10), but didnt fit the simple kenwood unit i bought, so i have a gap :-(

plus side is the kenwood does DAB, and everything else. even has USB on the front for straight ipod/iphone connection & control/charging. All without the pesky touch screen business :-) (big fingers = useless touchscreen)

There is a fancy complete facia from various places (including caraudiodirect.co.uk) that is supposed to fit any double DIN, but costs over £110. This is the ultimate answer, but pricey for a radio surround (and might not fit either).

Ricky: When I was looking there was two surrounds just a few millimetres between them so maybe you needed the other one B). This one has front USB got the smallest 64gb key in it, you can just about see it bottom right of the picture have all the music I need on that B) B) B)

it still annoys my OCD being a slightly different plastic to the original, but yes i didnt measure before i ordered it, hence the misfit :-(

weirdly i actually prefer the gap to a bad fit & match. eventually i might try a full surround, but i can live with the gap and label it as an 'unfinished project' in my mind ;-)

Apple music on 4g for me (and in Cumbria!). surprisingly its actually more reliable than the DAB (vodafone before everyone asks).

I've currently got a Poineer Carplay unit in my passion wagon.

I was able to find a fascia, but I think Suzuki actually sells them in different sizes for the various types of stereos available

getting one of these is on my seemingly never ending to do list

Halfrauds told me that I wouldn't need a fascia... probably because hardly anyone changes the stereo in a Jimny :unsure:
