Hello all,

I have a question i want to install a double din pioneer head unit in my z28 and want to know if anyone has put a double din unit in a 94 z28 before? and how you were able to make it fit. looks like im going to have to make some mods to the dash. please let me know.

Thanks

I am currently modding my dash to fit my JVC double din head unit into the din and a half space. I fabbed an aluminum plate to bolt the frame into place, and slid the JVC in. I had to cut out the back stop where the rear stereo support would go. I was afraid the JVC would contact the air ducting, but it JUST FIT. The head unit could NOT be ANY bigger, or it would not fit.

I had to cut out the switch area on the faceplate (will have to relocate the ARS and Fog Light switches). I intend on shaping the faceplate with fiberglass, then beadblasting the whole thing, then finding some paint that will match the interior.

I got a little overzealous when cutting out the faceplate, I kinda wish I had not cut out the part directly above the environmental controls, but what the heck. I'll look for another faceplate to cut on if I'm not happy with the way this one turns out.

what year camaro is that? you have the a/c and heat controls on the bottom of yours but mine are on the top. so i guess i will have to get creative and figure something out. i really want to put my pioneer avic d3 in so i will try to go to the junk yard and get 1 or 2 spare bezels that cover the radio so if i mess up on the first one i have a few more to get it right.....LoL

looks good if i had that setup but i have a 1994 z28 and it is not the same set up as the 96 and up, do you know if he is going to have one for a 94 anytime soon?

Just another reason I think I need to swap a 97+ dash into my car.

I can't remember but I think he will be having some made for your year. Send him an email and double check because i can not remember.

Did you ever find any info on installing the double din into the 94? I'm wanting to do this as well

tricky69

no have not found what im looking for yet but i am going to a radio shop this weekend and see how much they will charge to install it for me.

ok i got a chance today to get my avic d3 installed, took on the job myself and i was able to get the unit installed and now i just need to work on getting the radio bezel trimed, think im going to use fiberglass and sand ans then paint. i will post pics when im done with it, should be sometime this weekend.

i just installed a dbl din in my 96........the bottom tray needs to be cut pretty much in half and the bezel needs to be fiberglased to fit the new shape since that has to be opened up also

tricky69

hey i got the stereo installed i just need to fiberglass the bezel to make it look right. do you have a pic of your install i could see?

spcearle

i still have to do the fiberglass work myself...i'm waiting till i finish wiring up all my subs so i dont have to pull it apart after i'm done
