Product Overview

The CAC FAHOLDENCOLORADO2012ON7 solves the fundamental installation challenge facing Holden Colorado 2012+ owners seeking to upgrade factory audio systems with modern aftermarket double-DIN head units. The Holden Colorado from 2012 onwards featured factory audio system installations utilizing proprietary dashboard configurations incompatible with standard aftermarket double-DIN head unit dimensions without proper conversion fascia adapters. Without proper vehicle-specific facia conversion, installing aftermarket double-DIN head units necessitates cutting or permanently modifying factory dashboards, creating irregular gaps around head unit perimeters, exposing mounting brackets and wiring, and producing unprofessional installation aesthetics diminishing vehicle interior appearance and resale value. Universal facia adapters lack the precise fitment dimensions required for Holden Colorado-specific dashboard configurations resulting in misaligned panels, visible gaps, and incompatibility with factory trim pieces.

This precision-engineered vehicle-specific facia plate converts Holden Colorado factory dashboard openings to standardized double-DIN dimensions with dual configuration options through included trim ring: 173mm x 98mm with trim ring for compact head units, or 178mm x 101mm without trim ring for larger chassis receivers. This installation flexibility ensures compatibility with wide variety of aftermarket head unit designs. The easy snap-in installation design simplifies mounting process through integrated clips or mounting features reducing installation complexity and time. Side brackets provide secure mounting points for aftermarket head unit chassis ensuring proper retention. Manufactured from high-quality ABS plastic molding matching factory dashboard material properties, the grey finish coordinates with Holden Colorado interior trim featuring grey dashboard color schemes common in many Colorado trim packages. Minor modifications may be required depending on specific vehicle configuration as variations exist across trim levels and market regions. Professional installation is recommended for optimal fitment, proper trim ring configuration selection, and alignment with surrounding dashboard components.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this fit all Holden Colorado models from 2012 onwards?

A: Yes, the FAHOLDENCOLORADO2012ON7 is designed for Holden Colorado models from 2012 through current production. The 2012+ designation indicates compatibility with all model years from 2012 forward, as Holden maintained consistent dashboard architecture throughout the current-generation Colorado's production run. This single facia plate accommodates the entire 2012-onward model range with proper fitment.

Q: What does "easy snap-in installation" mean?

A: Easy snap-in installation means the facia plate features integrated clips or mounting mechanisms that allow it to snap directly into the dashboard opening without requiring complex alignment procedures, extensive hardware, or difficult mounting steps. This design simplifies installation, reduces time, and makes the process more accessible for installers. However, professional installation is still recommended for optimal results and proper integration with surrounding dashboard components.

Q: What's the difference between installing with or without the trim ring?

A: The trim ring provides installation flexibility for different aftermarket head unit chassis sizes. With the trim ring installed, the internal aperture measures 173mm x 98mm, suitable for head units with compact external dimensions and smaller bezels. Removing the trim ring expands the aperture to 178mm x 101mm, accommodating larger chassis head units with extended bezel dimensions or oversized touchscreens. Choose the configuration that best matches your specific head unit's external dimensions for optimal fitment.

Q: Is there a black version available for Colorados with black dashboards?

A: This grey version (FAHOLDENCOLORADO2012ON7) is designed for Holden Colorado vehicles with grey dashboard trim. If a black version exists for black dashboard Colorados, it would typically have a different part number. Check your vehicle's dashboard color before ordering to ensure proper color matching for a professional factory-integrated appearance. The grey finish is common in many Colorado trim packages.

Q: Do I need any additional parts besides this facia kit to install an aftermarket head unit?

A: Yes, you will need several additional components for complete installation: a vehicle-specific wiring harness adapter to connect the aftermarket head unit to your Colorado's factory wiring, an antenna adapter to connect the factory antenna to the aftermarket head unit, and potentially a steering wheel control interface if you want to retain factory steering wheel audio controls. The facia kit addresses the physical dashboard mounting conversion but does not include electrical connection components.
