does anyone know if you can fit a head unit in the rear of a 300
in-between the two vents in the roof between the front and rear?
or is there something in the way.
too tricky to take the headlining out, if someone already knows, saves me a wasted job.
cheers

Hi Rik,
Sorry, but the answer to your question is a definite NO!!
The section you are talking about is taken up with the ducting to the air vents and all the wiring to the roof blinds (if you've got them? I can't tell from your sig pic!)
The places you might be able to fit one (if you are certain you want one in the back) are: In the pocket next to the rear heater controls (might have the audio stage unit there instead of the pocket depending on the spec of the motor?) or the rear pocket to the side of the rear bench seat. I can't be certain that a DIN sized head unit will fit, but these are your most likely possibilities?
The most obvious place is in the front, do you have a single DIN headunit? If so - mount the DVD unit below it and wire it up as a combi system? Most DVD headunits come with a remote so you can still control it from the back - this will also make it easier to integrate into the sound system etc....
The other problem with mounting a unit in the back (in either of the places I suggested) is that only a few DVD units are capable of being mounted vertically! It would look 'trick' if you could do it though - this is where I was thinking of doing mine (although I've got a LOT more plans for an enetertainment system - but want to get the funds together before disclosing my plans!! )
Not sure if this is of much help - but might negate the need for you to go ripping out the roof lining!!
Cheers for now,
Bruce. _________________ '93 L300 Mystery Machine (Now in the hands of a new owner)
