no one good makes one anymore, i used to have a pioneer one that was good, but the only way you are getting one is used. or if you find a discontinued close out.

As JW said, they are not made anymore.
You can either go with a single din, or have your bezel modified for a double din unit.

I hear you.. but, I'm yet to see a Double DIN that looks stock. Could just be me.

Re: Has anyone gone to 1.5 din?

A lot of what I've read points to a 4th gen headunit if your looking for stock appearing. That's probably your only shot.

if you want the long version gm makes hu's as cheap as possible, aftermarket decks have the newest and best features money can buy, therefore you are never going to find a double din hu that looks like a stock gm radio.
