I did a search and didnt come up with anything and im wondering if anyone has put in a double din stereo before? or if it is even possible?

There are many threads that mention it....
A member has a pioneer AVIC unit...I had one in my TA for like 2 days...
yes it can be done..I believe its easier on camaros...

I have a pioneer double din AVIC radio/nav system in my
Camaro. It needed a little cutting of the stock cover plate, but not too bad.
I think it came out great. I'll get pictures if you're interested.

yes please i have never seen one and im trying to decide whether to put in a double din navigation and dvd player or the flip up ones. please post pictures of either type. thanks a bunch.

Here are some pictures (taken with cell phone).

thanks... that looks really sharp i like it

Heres a couple more if you want them. Didnt take too much work to get it to fit. Just some fab work and time.

I also Have the Avic D3

Pioneer does make a flip up touch screen with a GPS don't they?

Yes they do, but it will hide the heater controls.

Any of the pioneer Avic N series are the Flip-out versions.

You can just fold it down when you want to change the heat/AC? and then move it back up could you not?

What's actually involved in installing the double din. I am not real handy

this actually looks better than i thought it would.i currently have a 1.5 din pioneer but 1.5 din radios are getting hard to find.btw does it seem strange that this site lets ford and toyota advertise on it?i love the free site and i don't mind most of the adds.

Cutting, fabrication etc. You'll have to shave out a good portion of the dash because IIRC stock is 1.5 DIN, then you'll have to Fab up brackets to attatch to the head unit and then the car to keep it in the dash its possible and I've done it at work before, I charged the guy more than I would ever pay for it and that was with a big break in labor it can turn out good or like craaaaaaaap lol

Possible, not simple

i never thought a double din would fit in the thirdgens! that is pretty sweet, wouldnt put one in but still pretty cool that i could with a little fabrication

hopefully some enterprising person will start manufacturing some faceplates to make double din radios look stock.

that would be a nice idea, but I don't know how standard the faces of those things are.

some kind of attaching bracket would be sweet. I love the look of factory radios, and hate single DIN units, but I have to admit these things look freaking sweet

Yes, But with a flip up... the less movement the screen makes the longer it will last. Even the On/Off - Up/Down of just starting the car or killing it when you get where youre going is alot of wear and tear once you think of it. if your going to go screen its best to go double din in my opinion. i ran a jensen flip up for a couple years when they first came out and it was nice to have then, but i think they are geared more for cars who want a screen but dont have the room for a double din.

I'd be more worried about opening clearance, and Jensen units aren't that great in the first place, the way it opens puts alot of drag on the gears and cheap Chinese parts die quick I have yanked plenty of them for repair, personally if you went flip out I'd go with kenwoods excellon series, or you can cut for a DD

With the 7" i had no clearence problems at all. As for the brand, Jensen really isnt that bad... i won countless bass comps with jesen aginst Kicker,JL and RF. i think back in 2000' the head unit i had was arround 600$ A great quality systems starts at the head unit for sure, some people ive ran across love the way Roadmaster's sound so i guess its all in the eyes of the Beer Holder lol.

ya i had a buddie who had a dodge ram extended cab, we took out the back seat and we built a 'stage' if thats what u want to call it and had it all carpeted and lookin nice, then we made a custom box and put 4 12in pioneers in it, pushin 800rms a peice ran 2 1500 watt amps and it wasnt that great. MOSTLY because he had a cheap head unit from walmart. me and my brother both tryed to convince him to get a better head unit but he wouldnt do it. took countless people telling him it sounded like crap before he upgraded

I really like how you are playing Chiodos in your Third Gen xD

hey i was wondering where you got the faceplate from, or did you machine it?
