Sorry about being absent for a bit, had other stuff on.
It is a DNA brand fascia, obtainable thru most car audio shops, sometimes even super-cheap. When sliding the fascia+head unit into its slot, be careful to tuck any cabling up behind the ICC otherwise you'll have isses getting it to fit in. Because of this, my head unit is a little skew to one side but meh, it doesn't really bother me. For those attempting to 'splice' the speaker cables instead of disconnecting, I would warn you to do this very carefully. If your head unit is high-powered, you could conceivably push some high current the wrong way into the stock ICC and damage it, or even have excessive noise because of the two systems using the same lines. If you have the patience, you could attempt to re-run the stock cabling back to the centre as well, and then create some sort of switch between head units to be safe. Having said that, since installing this, I have never felt the need to use the stock ICC for anything except its clock and a handy 6-cd storage case! Happy modding, and please, if you have any questions don't hesitate to PM

Hello, Bloody nice install mate!!
This is my deck install, it isnt finished yet cuz im deciding what to do with the big gap around the deck. And it tends to get a little hot so i wanna put some sort of heat sink or fan arrangement in there. And i know what your thinking, "wouldn't that hit the gear stick?". Its dam close, about 2mm between the screen and the gear stick when its retracting. I used 2 90 degree 3mm thick steel brackets to mount mine. And drilled holes into them in the position the deck would be. Then went to bunnings got some longer screws and viola Hmmmm, i wonder if alberts car stereo have that silver fascia.

Easiest place to grab that, is from the power at the cig lighter.

or you can connect it to the battery also,
that way you will be able to turn the head unit on and off without a key

Like data_mine said, best place to take it from is the ciggie lighter. You can still run the deck and the ciggi lighter at the same time. Thats what ive done.

He said the battery (constant) power was already run. So it shouldn't lose any settings. It just won't know when to turn on/off.
