S T A R 3 3 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hey guys! I recently purchased this.. ..for a killer price $650+/- Unfortunately, the face plate wasn't included. Would anyone have any info on where I could be able to purchase a replacement generic plate?

MANWHORE Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 When you say the face plate was not included - you mean the screen itself? If so, I don't think you can just buy any generic screen and just bung it on. You'd probably have to buy the jvc original screen Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/152211-double-din-plate/#findComment-2832243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S T A R 3 3 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) The face plate as in.... not the TV itself.. that came totally intact. But the plate that will go around the actual unit that will hide the gap between the dash and the unit itself. if ya get what I mean? (I got it for the price I did because it was the working sample at JB, and the last one there. A small price to pay for over 50% off!)

I don't think they come with one man... just got the last one in the chatswood jb and it didn't come with one either... so either they don't come with one or jb has f*%d us both over... I should get you to come do my bargaining for me next time... i only managed to get them down to $845... you've done extrememly well... Let me know what your running off it and how it performs... need some decent advice on speakers and amp...

Let me know what your running off it and how it performs... need some decent advice on speakers and amp... I'm not really an expert in car audio.. but, my mate and I went down to JB and had a gander. I ended leaving with: JL Splits (front) Alpine mono-block amp 12" pioneer sub w/ box (looking into making custom box - eventually) Wiring kit and the JVC double din unit. All for around $1600, initially it was $1800. A few people have criticised me for not staying with the one brand, but in the end they all complimented each other and works well. Both budget and performance came into play (in that particular order), and so far I'm pretty stoked at the quality sound that's coming out. The rear speakers were replaced with some older JL's, nothing fancy. So I'm assuming with some better speakers at the rear that, compliment the setup, it should be pretty sweeeet!

Chris Rogers Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I have never seen them with one. I tend to make them as needed. how gappy is it? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/152211-double-din-plate/#findComment-2833546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S T A R 3 3 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 I guess its not THAT bad.. it's not the grand canyon or anything, but in the installation guide that I downloaded (it didn't come with one, or the instructions, but readily available on the internet), it pointed out that a plate should be included for the installation in NISSAN cars. Now I'm just interested in what difference it could make! http://www.jvc.co.uk/files/instruction_man...vt1468-006a.pdf Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/152211-double-din-plate/#findComment-2833571 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Rogers Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 What material do you use?Some form of plastic? What thickness...? black ABS usually. not sure if you can get it publically though.

Trav33 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 What about from a plastics supplier? They do cash sales to the public normally. Do you cut it with a jigsaw and clean up the edges with a bit of filing?

Do you cut it with a jigsaw and clean up the edges with a bit of filing? possibly. I use a knife and score it. jigsaw will leave a molten mess on the edges. I usually do not need to file it. if I do I use a deburring tool.

Mine is a little gappy too... particularly at the bottom where it must be close to 5mm give or take... If I wanted you to make me one them what would it cost and what is the best way to do it if I am in Sydney and you are up north? Can you do it if i give you a few photos or is it a bit of a precision job? How do you make the thing stay there? Some type of clip...??

S T A R 3 3 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 yeah I've looked on ebay and all that, but couldn't find anything. On the net I could find installation kits, but they're in America and it comes with soo much more than we need. I'll try get in contact with JVC. I'll give them a little 'fist to face' payments.. hahah.. nah. Perhaps they offer some sort of replacements?
