Hi, does anyone know what the part number and cost for the genuine single DIN adapter is? I've bought an adapter from eBay but the fit isn't great so figure genuine is the way to go.

For reference I mean one like this... Picture shamelessly stolen from the guide section! :devil:

Mines like that, i would assume fiat but i have seen them on ebay last week think was £15 inc postage used

is this what you bought

Similar. The one I've got has a separate pocket which you could put in either position but it doesn't fit flush or clip in properly.

probably best to get one from scrappers

Sorry I don't know the part number but I got one a couple of years ago for my Panda to replace the radio with a fancy single DIN Alpine one. I first bought a cheapish one from a car stereo shop but the fit and finish was horrible so went to my local Fiat dealer. It took them a while to find the part number themselves because it wasn't listed for my Eleganza model (I think the Panda Active has single DIN). It was a special order that cost about £35 but it fits perfectly and is a nice finish.

In retrospect I wish I had gone for a double DIN radio instead. I never actually use the storage compartment above the radio and the buttons on my Alpine are small and fiddly.

I use the storage compartment above the radio all the time for all kind of stuff.
