Double din in a first gen?

[Lil-Pony]

I saw a photo on google a long time ago with this done, and my desire to do it to my 84 has been rekindled by the installation of one in my friends camero

Anyway it looks like it can be done just want to know if anyone has done it.

 

[Lil-Pony]

Anyones input on this?

How much would you have to cut above and below the single mount? From pictures it looks like it would be REAL tight between the top of the heater controls and the underside of the dash pad.

Yeah the measuments seem like it would fit but i dont want to start chopping and find some thing that prevents it completely.
DD ~ 4in SD ~ 2in

There's a reason they make fold outs

 

[Lil-Pony]

I know but I'm a kenwood fanatic when it comes to decks and there fold out lacks a lot, and leaves me desiring more. I may want to research in to other brands, any suggestions, I want it all HD radio, nav, ipod, dvd, bluetooth, remote, external mic, etc etc with easy of operation and as many settings as possible, preferably a 5-13 band manual eq built in.

Dang...Kenwood used to have more than one. And Excelon doesn't make one. And Alpine doesn't anymore.

Did you look at Pioneer?

You're talking about a LOT of work just to get a double DIN. I feel you on Kenwood, I'm a diehard Excelon guy

double din in 93 and whats car domain

What is my car domain
Googled it got junk back...
What about a double din in a 93...worth the work or possible??

 

[Lil-Pony]

Ahh your new, that link is in my signature, and its a website to show off ones cars and the mods they have done to ones cars. If you look at my signature you realise "CarDomain" is bolded for a html link.

It should fit in a 93 with out any mods, just a install kit.

double dins don't fit straight in a 93 do they?

 

[Lil-Pony]

Just looked it up, No they dont, dont know how much work it would take for you take make one fit.

 

[4.0B2]

I looked into doing it to my 1st gen... it was gonna be WAY to much work. it would fit, but a lot of modding would be needed.

 

[Lil-Pony]

Same thing i came across with mine, if i ever get really good with fiberglass and molding it i will try it out on the spare bezel i have one day. Another possible issue is the depth clearance of the double din. Which could be solved by putting thr a/c controls above the radio. Still to much work.

Yep I'm thinking bout doing this
