jeremy Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 Anything I should know about it before I install it? did you get a decent faceplate kit? Quote
terryk2003 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 it may be too deep for your dash...i know my cda-9833 was...i had to trim a few things behind the opening... Quote
jeremy Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 it may be too deep for your dash that is very possible....years ago when I was going to replace the factory CD deck in my Euro3.4 so I could run a system, the deck I bought was too deep and I had to try to "make" rooms so it wouldn't stick out of the dash....I ended up returning the deck and keeping the stock cd unit and running an amp through a signal convertor Quote
webbs Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 looked at crutchfield and noticed they realeased a new style of their head unit. With my 1995 CS it said all the new ones fit but none of the older style fit. I'm thinking about getting the Alpine CDE-9852. Here's a link to all of them http://www.crutchfield.com/S-UpRzYKTtpGH/cgi-bin/prodgroup.asp?o=p&c=3&avf=N&g=300&nvpair=FFBrand%7CAlpine#see_all Quote
Supreme Cutlass Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Posted January 20, 2006 are there any wires behind the headunit space? I was planning on melting the plastic to fit. Quote

94CutlassSLCoupe Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 most install plates will make the radio stick out an inch or more from where the factory head unit sat...it has always been more than enough for my pioneer Quote
Supreme Cutlass Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Posted January 23, 2006 most install plates will make the radio stick out an inch or more from where the factory head unit sat...it has always been more than enough for my pioneer I DON'T want it to stick out! I've heard of people just bashing away the instrument panel to make it stick out less, I just want to know if melting/bending that part of the intrument panel wigh a heat gun will hurt anything (IE melt wire insulation, etc.) Quote
