Just added a lovely 02 Vanden Plas and still have my 02 and 2011 xkr convertibles. Looking for the new addition:
front floor mats with the Logo
Best back up camera, xm, gps system
other useful accessories. giving my daughter my Subaru and this will be my daily driver. It's silver with white interior and 49900 miles. Just doing the 50k service.
Ken in WV by golly !!

 

1st...nice job finding a 50k 17yr old 308.
A local upholsterer can make your the mats (if you have the old pattern) or you can get them off Ebay.
I am guessing your asking about a 3rd party head unit with those features? I have 2 Clarions (NP401 and NZ503), neither I recommend, the gps is crap (Tom Tom I think). Here's a fascia for single din... https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...5/#post1491946
I haven't measured for this Alpine, its a 9" screen, but I want one...

Thanks for the information. I looked at that and really like it...... But, it does not appear to swivel forward enough to access the AC heat etc and controls mounted above the regular radio !!! I will send them a note to see what they suggest with a photo of what is OEM.

I really do not see how that great unit would fit and allow room to get to the AC etc controls on top and even if it swiveled forward, the shift knob would probably be in the way..
Your thoughts ??

Like I said, I haven't measured for it yet. My initial concern would be the screen being in the way of the shift knob while in P with its offset,...as is your concern. You can see how close mine is in the link I provided. Plus, its 9" and with the swooping type center council, correct measurements are a must. The unit to screen offset could be too protruding, ...for which I seriously suspect.

I bought the Clarion because of the tilt screen. If the Alpine won't fit, I would be checking a Pioneer (even the double din) or another unit that has a flip up adjustable tilt screen. I've even thought of running the Alpine screen to the overhead if I could get the correct ribbon cable long enough to reach?

 

I'll let you know if I can figure out one that mike work.
