Anyone done it? I think the knob on it would cause issues.

Not really just gotta get a gm double din radio. hollow out the factory know and glue it in place. Sits in pretty close to the same position.

I will have to think of something to keep it looking factory to the clowns out there trying to get other peoples stuff.
I might make something out of mdf and use a bottlecap for a knob to make it look hidden if I need to park in a shitty location. Any other ideas?

just throw a shirt over it and the dash when parked in ghetto areas

Buy a cheap OEM radio off eBay or something, take it apart, & glue the buttons in place. I mounted my D3 about 1/4" inset from being flush, cause I planned on making a fake decoy. I love it - it gives me peace of mind when out.

If only we could figure out how to hook up a stun gun up to our unit now! but I guess it would prolly suck to find a dead guy in your car one morning...

hey sorry , this is off the topic of security ... how do you get your d3 so flush ? after mine was installed it sticks out about 1/8" inch , but just enough to make me go grrr . Is there any way of getting it more flush . I believe its just the face plate around it ? Any help or directing me somewhere on here would be awesome. ive tried searching already.
Thanks. here's a pic of what im talking about .

You can't beat the stock looking cover as a theft deterrent.

QFT. the only way this idea could possibly backfire is if you did such a horrible job others knew it was fake, or if you used a stock unit other than the one used in your car andsome1 noticed that. otherwise...

how would you take off the decoy faceplate? Also, if you take it off you would need to reglue it again?

No, once the buttons and LCD are glued in place you just slip it on. I did the same for my 09 Accord. To tkae it off you just pull it off. It just slips on and off. I went to the local boneyard, picked up a deck from an 02 accord(last generation that used 2din), and ripped the face off. I glued the buttons and LCD to the back with 2 ton epoxy, not hot glue as the interior can get warm and I didn't want to chance it. I used some weather stripping from home depot to pad the back and a little bit on the sides so it fit snug in my enclosure without scratching anything.

they have a fake face plate specifically to deter thieves
they are in the UK but offer one that seem like its got a suction cup built in which is a great idea.
the site is down right now but I seem to recall with shipping to the states it was in the area of $50

as a deterrent against thieves breaking your car windows and stealing your priced in car DVD units. Once the cover panel is in placed it will reesemble a basic old model in car CD/Streo player, it will fit all Double Din Car DVD Player 7" and below screen size. for about 30 US$ you can get it here:
