Update: Parts added to Thingiverse, although their site can't process the pictures for some reason. I'm afraid I can't print these to sell, my printer just isn't good enough and I'd feel like I'm ripping people off. A potentially boring walkthrough of how I fitted a single-DIN head with a 7" touch screen to my Discovery 2. The goal was to get something with Apple Carplay and to re-activate the steering wheel controls. This thing has the bonus of DAB radio and support for a reversing camera.

All the parts made on the 3D printer could, of course, be made of wood. Background music from Bensound. https://www.bensound.com/
