anyone got a pic of mk3 centre console to hand ?

trying to work out if my Alpine 7998R head unit will fit in a mk3 centre console.

the Alpine opens up to about 30% bigger than a Din-E faceplate, so wondering if it won't catch on anything.

anyone ?

cheers

can you not alter the tilt of the screen?

yes, but it needs to be able to open fully as i don't want the screen tilting downwards, if anything it needs to tilt upwards to be visible from drivers seat etc.

or time to sell the headunit and buy something else.

it's probably a bit too good for the tourer anyway, better off with something a little less in ya face....*i.e not as likely to be nicked
