would a 4th gen deck fit???

is there any reason 4th gen radio wouldn't fit right in our cars?? they are 1.5 DIN, right?? and I just asked a 4th gen guy to measure, he said his is 5 1/4" deep. So would it work nice and flush??

I wouldnt see a reason why it wouldnt. Are you getting it for free or something? You will have to change the wiring harness and I dont know if they have a security feature or not. Is it stock, monsoon or bose?

The decks arn't too bad if you want to go for a Stock Type look....
Other than that, they dont have too many options....

it cant be any worse than our ten year old decks, can it?? i am not really worried about an upgrade, or options/features. my deck is bad, and yes, i love stock looking stuff. i dont really need or want a cd deck, because i have a changer. not free, but cheap. i just figured why not replace mine with a 2000 deck.

so is there really a good reason why i should not get one??

thanks

If it's the Bose system I think you'd have to get Bose speakers because they have an odd ohm rating. I think the monsoon deck should be fine though I'm sure I'm forgetting something obvious.

If you have a 89 or newer, the wiring harness is the same....
