Measurements for the 2 din space in a 2010 gu station wagon

[Benham]

Can someone help me I'm away from my patrol and I want to order a new 2 din head unit on line. I know that 7" systems will fit but not sure about the new 8" systems they are 240mm across the top and 140mm high. I just need someone to measure the space for me please.

if its that size then its not a standard 2/double din head unit that conforms to the approx 180x100mm or 7"x2" dimensions........................

"DIN stands for Deutsches Institut für Normung (http://www.din.de/cmd?level=tpl-home&languageid=en), which is the German standards organization that created the original standard for car head units that we still use today. The standard DIN 75490 specified that the dimensions of a head unit (when viewing it from the front) should be 180 mm long and 50 mm tall. The International Standards Organization (http://www.iso.org/iso/home.html)adopted DIN 75490 as ISO 7736, which is used by automakers all around the world. However, Head units that fit this form factor are still called “DIN car radios” due to the fact that the Deutsches Institut für Normung came up with the original standard.
Although ISO 7736/DIN 75490 is the main standard for car radios around the world, there are some important variations and potential fit issues. The most important variant of DIN 75490 is called “double DIN” because car radios of this size are essentially like two single DIN head units stacked on one another. To that end, a “2 DIN car stereo” is still 150 mm long, but it is 100 mm tall instead of just 50 mm."

Thanks guys I had that feeling bit misleading calling them 2 din size when they are so much bigger

hey mate, the main body of the unit will more than likely fit but the issue would be the fascia, so you'd probably have to do some modification of your dash

the vid below is just an example of an 8in alpine being fitted into a Range Rover
