Sirion '06 panel for aftermarket radio

Forum: 

My original '06 Sirion CD player is dead and I'd like to replace the radio unit. The problem is that I not only have to buy a new radio, but also to replace the OEM fascia panel with a generic panel for aftermarket radios.
Local dealers offered me a double-DIN fascia for the equivalent of about (!) 240 GBP. I feel this is outrageous and after searching on eBay I found a store in the UK that sells double-DIN fascias for '08 models and onward:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/CT23DH02-DAIHATSU-SIRION-2008-BLACK-DOUBLE-DIN-FASCIA-FACIA-ADAPTOR-PANEL-/180999526933?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a24699a15

Does anyone have any idea whether this will fit my car? The seller replied to me promptly by restating that it's "for '08 models and onward".

I also found a posting on Aliexpress for a Chinese replacement panel for about the same price:

This one comes with few details about compatibility and model years.

I'd rather buy a new part from a legit dealer, but I guess buying a used part from junkyards is also an option.

I'd appreciate suggestions.

Thanks,

Not sure Im afraid. I always

Not sure Im afraid.

I always thought the 06 and 08 model sirion interiors were the same. One thing I have noticed on the 08 models (UK Specced ones) is that the front grill has changed slightly so wondering if Daihatsu also made slight alterations to the interior as well.

I take it you dont live in the UK? As the flag under your name shows Israel?

Thank you for your

Thank you for your response.

I'm tempted to ask a colleague with an '08 model to take measurements of his fascia and compare to mine. If they match, I might just make the gamble.

>>I take it you dont live in the UK? As the flag under your name shows Israel?
Yes, I live in Israel. It's $72 with shipping to buy this part. Certainly more cost-effective than buying new locally.

Im pretty sure you can buy

Im pretty sure you can buy them from Malaysia for the Perodua MYVi!

I also have an '06 Sirion for which no replacement panel exists. By '08 the cars had been facelifted and there is a panel for these cars. If your radio still works, you could just use an FM transmitter and stream mp3s from your phone or mp3 player

Trim plate

I have a Daihatsu Sirion 2005 model. Does anyone know if the Perodua Myvi Fascia trim plate fits this car or what the dimensions of the trim plate are/should be. Also iv only found 2008 "Daihatsu" trim's. Will they fit a 2005 model or did they change the details of the interior?
