View Full Version : Headunit bracket

I want to put a stereo in my sprinter but I've got no bracket to mount the headunit to. You know the metal box thing the headunit sits inside of, that thing has nothing to hook into. So I need a quick pic of how people have mounted their head units so I can see what part I need or what I need to make to hook mine up so it doesn't fall out the moment I hit the brakes

I heard one of the 80s camrys have something that fits right in, sorry I don't know the model or anything more.

they don't have the din rack your talking about. it's 2 90 degree bends of steel or what ever it is. so you have a couple of options on what can be done. me and a mate managed to make a head unit fit by redrilling the mounts that bolt onto the car and bending a few brackets on the cd player. can't take any photos for you since I have replaced it with a double din dvd player :D

Are their swap in brackets from like a ke70 or something I can use? Or do I have to hunt down the sprinter ones. Really lazy so I cbf making a set up, too much measuring and crap and I"ll only end up messing it up anyway I reckon

Go into your ocal car audio installer and ask for the cradle or steel housing that you fit cd players into, I di and they gave it to me for free!!! They simply slip in, fold the applicable tabs up to hold it in there and you're away!
