This is outstanding work! Very professional and nicely done!

I'm looking for the same thing need to fit a double-din receiver into the dash where the current stereo is located in my 2008 Subaru Tribeca (loaded) SUV. While keeping all functionality of existing switches and knobs. The pictures I've seen here were outstanding and very professional. So I need someone who can do the custom panel relocating whatever you need to relocate and give you the room to mount and fit a standard double-din receiver in that spot.

I can buy extra parts if needed and send them to you. I'm located in New Jersey and have the ability to install the double-din receiver into the new panel. Just need someone to re-design that panel for this install. Feel free to call me anytime at: 201-321-0438. Thank You for your time....Bob

P.S. I don't mind paying for this service and or advice. You guys here did all the hard work getting through this. I just don't have the time and skills to re-design the panel. And I'm going to need a little more in depth instruction on how it done. A couple of you guys did this mod and they all look great. I just would like to do the same, without paying someone a "fortune" to do so. And maybe I could do something to contribute. Anyway I have the spare parts to screw with. Anyone feel like doing the panel? I can pay, donate or do whatever I can to reciprocate.....

Your Right...

I know what you are saying and a believe you. But from the posts and pictures ive seen so far you guys made this happen. It'd been a real long wait for me to even conciser trying this. Maybe I can help out in some way. My background is, I'm a senior broadcast engineer for NBCuni Television in New York City. I've won two technical emmy's for my work on the Olympics. I build, and maintain over $350 million in highly technical equipment ever day. I understand maniacal and IT related gear. With that said you guys went further than I thought possible. I really appreciate all the efforts pulling this off. I would like to try it but I do need your help. I don't want to screw up the car (I'm the original owner since 2008). I don't have the luxury or time to figure it out. So when I saw how nice you guys did pulling it off I wanted to give it a shot.

I found the spare parts fairly cheap but I'm not good with re-designing and cutting the panel to allow for the double-din. Then I read their more to it. I would like to join in and maybe help try to figure out the rest. I can design circuits to function and or replace whats needed to complete the process. And I would be happy to discuss/share them with you guys. But for now I don't really have a clear picture of the whole process. What you guys done so far has gotten me excited enough to give it a shot but I can't do the panel. That's why I wrote those replies in the forum. Can anyone give me the big picture in detail of this process start/finish? And where you guys are stuck or need help? Thanks Again...

Thanks for the advice. I bought a perfect new face-plate like the stock one. Came with all the knobs and switches on it fully workable. I just need someone to do the cut-out and proper arranging of the knobs and or switches. My audio guy is good but crazy about really hard custom work. If I give him the finished product he can make it work. would anyone here have the time to do this for me? Of course paying for this job would be no problem.

Question: When you mention "HU" unit has to remain, what's that? I thought from reading and looking at the really GREAT pictures here that once the panels done you just fit the double-din receiver in and wire it. I guess you need to split the antenna/gps and rear entertainment system feeds according? Heard someone mention "air-bag" recall, what's that? Anyway, I would really like to get a double-din receiver in this spot. Anyone willing to help with suggestion/wisdom would be greatly appreciated. I also don't want to break the bank on this. If it makes sense I'll do it. The parts I bought already were pretty fair used. Thanks Everyone!

ok yeh we are did almost the same thing, only you slightly rearranged stock HU to make it smaller, and i cut a piece of the plastic below to fit it as is.
heres my face plate

and here is where that tiny ribbon cable holder was, i decided since i knocked it off to solder wires to pcb and to the connector thus extending the cable length, now i just need to do the same on the other side.

This is outstanding work! Very professional and nicely done!
