please let me know
It lists "Camaro RS" under "lettering options"(second from the top).....if you want somenthing else it says to contact them for custom lettering (first choice).
Among other things....it can display directions,(downloaded to a memory card or cd)right on that little screen
It has DSP (club,church,hall,etc)
High and Low pass filters
Parametric equalizer
Customizable backgrounds and screensaver
Variable illumination
8v pre out (yes,8v)
SRS circle surround
Time aligment (makes the sound from all speakers arrive to ur ears at the same time)
etc,etc,etc
and of course...mine comes with a bird as a bg...but if u drive a camaro we can change it...maybe a chevy logo...
your choice..
sorry for turning this into an ad lol.

i went with a clarion head unit, and metra install kit for a flush look... im looking into getting a humount.
the reason i chose this stereo is because it looks plain jane( the flat black black blends in with the console well), and the illumination resembles what you would fin in a stock stereo
hmm at first i wanted an aftermarket one. but now the one from the 2002 silverado catches my eye. i have the same thing in my 97 lumina, although its a cassette instead of a cd player. i think i'm gonna get one of those from the junkyard.
On the later 3rd gens, 89 & after IIRC they are plug & play. Prior to that, the car's harness is different, you may want to snag that as well. Mine was hacked by the previous owner, so I had to do the same.
Well, thank you for doing the leg work and getting a GTA version started. Without you, I would have had to start fresh. I emailed him to ask if he had a GTA version and Mark told me he just completed one. I will have mine installed as soon as I get it. Do you need a new radio pod? The junk yard next to me has one that I can get for you. Let me know.
Did you get your kit? Hows the fit, anything you had to modify? Pictures to share?
Looking to get one for my 89 TTA but just like to be sure it fits without any issues.
Hey 87 white gta... i have a kenwood md-922 or some such with hide-away face... while back it started acting up, i got on thepartstore.com and ordered a new printed ribbon for like 7 bucks. replaced it and the buttons worked fine. I would be interested in those custom graphics that is bada$$. lots of cool stuff. What on earth is an HUMOUNT lol.
I have a Sony Xplod with HD tuner, with pioneer speakers all around and a 600 watt amp in the spare tire compartment with all the wire hidden. EVERYTHING appears totally stock except the head unit which I picked to appear stock. Its worked so far because everyone whose been in my car has not even noticed I changed anything which was what I am going for. I may get a sub an hide it in the tire well too, and change my amp to be under the lock box on the drivers side. That would be cool as hell I think just to give me a more base. with just the speakers right now it still shakes the mirrors. Thats not going to happen anytime soon though, I have other stuff I want done first.

Ur HU has to support custom backgrounds....I didnt really "hack" the HU..I kno some kenwoods have it,some pioneers,alpine's.... I think theres clarions that do it...some blaukpunts...etc...
I ordered a spare faceplate off the internet for $5 and Hand filed it until the radio fit.
hey man....i was hoping someone did this....it looks awsome!....how hard was it to make fit into the console itself?....did you have to make any kind of special brackets?
in the pic yeah, but in real life it actually creates a cool-blue ambiance effect. my whole car is decked out in blue l.e.d.'s at diff. possitions and diff features. door opening/acc. lights/driving lights.
now will the sony xplod hookright in or will i need a mount

Stock UM7 Radio, 1 of 1084 for the 1990 model year, most were UM6's with cassete players but not mine Still works great and none of the bulbs are out, to listen to my music I have my Zune 30 plugged into an FM Transmitter that sit right next to the radio, and it works pretty good, the Zune fits perfectly into the ash tray and gives a good clear sound. Have the radio plugged into Pioneer speakers, and I know I could get more out of them with a new head unit, but I love that classic look, unmolested

Damn, I love that unit. My all time favourite. Nice
Yup. they're charging me $120 for one that reads "IROC-Z" with the Chevy bowtie. Rip off. I think I may just get a old dashboard and make one with my dremel tool.
Would anyone be interested in a Trans Am GTA HUmount? It has never been installed. I purchased the JVC AVX77 and the faceplate is too large for the plate, so I am going to have to get another one made. The picture is attached, so let me know. I am just gauging interest.
wow i love the humount flush mounts. I'm definitely gonna get an Iroc-Z one

btw, what color did u use for your "camaro z28" i really like it looks like an orangish, but the only options they give is red, blue, white,yellow, green LED and red mini lamps. and while i'm a roll w/ questions whats the difference in looks between red LED and red mini lamps
Here's a pic of the one I have in my Grand Prix. It's the red mini lamp bulbs, it matches the stock red color of the newer Pontiac's perfectly. The gta had more of an orange color to the gauges so I switched the dash to red leds in the gta so I got the red led for that one. I haven't installed that one yet though.

got my HUmount, i only have 1 screw hole left behind the cover due to a theft/breakage. i'm sure it would sit higher if i had the screws in, it's red lit, black off. i had to trim the center console brace that's metal and goes side to side behind the radio, and trim the air outlets that are behind the radio, now they don't function (the vents on the sides of the console).
i love it though and i'll "hack" my car all day long for something cool
I have a pioneer GM/CHRYSLER direct fit deck. As you can see fits better then any standard after market deck offered. It comes with factory style brackets that are a direct bolt in. The fit is nice and flush like rather then the crappy install kits that stick out too much.
Is that deck still made? I thought Pioneer stopped making those.
They did. I checked since mine was stolen last week. There are a couple of used ones listed on fleabay if you're interested. I'm going to use this as an excuse to do a double-din conversion though, and put in a Pioneer Z110BT nav unit instead.

Yeah, those features were unheard of when that headunit came out 9 years ago. It also doesn't support mp3, wma, aac, etc., either. I was planning on replacing mine anyway, but had hoped to wait until early next year. The thief probably did me a favor, but the timing sucks.
