Dashboard recess too small for new car head unit (1991 subaru liberty/legacy)?
hi,
just bought my first car (woo!) a 1991 subaru liberty/legacy. With the help of a mate, who works for a car mechanic who specialises in car electronics, i installed two new pioneer speakers in the back. When i went to try and install the head unit we found the unit to be too big (wide) for the recess in the dash (height is perfect) I know i should have actually cared about the size, but i picked the unit up in the boxing day sales for a bargain. its a pioneer DEH2950MP model. its only a little too wide by about half a centimetre on either side, the dashboard not removed. havent removed the dash yet.
My mate is going to ask his boss in about 3 days about what to do, if i have to get it prefessionally installed. just asking incase i can escape the cost if its easy enough.
btw, the stock head unit is an old clarion tape player 
cheers 
To install this product, you’ll have to modify your vehicle. Minor filing (less than a sixteenth of an inch) of your car's trim panel is required. Use the brackets that came with your factory stereo to install your new receiver. Your vehicle came with either a 2" or 3" pocket below the factory radio. To install a new receiver, you'll need the 3" pocket that's available from your automobile dealer.
