Re: post pictures of your head units!
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).

That camaro z28 logo with the light is sick man. thats very nice. I would luv to do that but my flip out screen would cover it up.
I just went to that site and seen that i can get the lettering on the bottom. that is sweet.

Re: post pictures of your head units!
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

And at night, the HVAC and defrost switches are the same color too.

And this one too, the gauges are actually more red than the picture shows

Re: post pictures of your head units!
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.

Re: post pictures of your head units!
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.
Looking to get one for my 89 TTA but just like to be sure it fits without any issues.
Re: post pictures of your head units!
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.

Re: post pictures of your head units!
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.

Re: post pictures of your head units!
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

Re: post pictures of your head units!
Hello,
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.
Thanks!
Josh

Re: post pictures of your head units!
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.

Re: post pictures of your head units!
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.

Re: post pictures of your head units!
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.

I was checking into it and frankly the Pioneer unit in question doesn't have the features I want. Mainly USB/iPod compatibility.

Re: post pictures of your head units!
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.
