new head unit any ideas

[kingc]

I want a new head unit so I can use the cd player space for a nifyt spot for a gauge. I
Don't really need anything fancy just that will work with the stock 460 system. Any ideas? Ill also post this in the other forum.

So anybody ever replace their stock radio or what?

yeah i put a pioneer premier in mine i dont think theres enough room to put a guage in there with the new radio though? just a small hole for like a couple cds. you need a special wire kit to hook up to the mach system. other than that it sounds a little better.

Thanks

$650 brand new. And yes, don't listen to fatboy, you can fit I believe 2 or 3 guages in that spot where your old CD player was.

sorry its a cell phone pic.

what special wire kit is there??

i ordered it through circuit city its made for the mach sound system and has rca inputs so you can use the factory amps. it took a couple of trys but i finally found a kid that knew what he was doing and knew about the kit. it was like 20 bucks and is made by scosche. ill look and see if i can find a part #

Fatboy I see what you mean! I have a pic from another member who has done this. Florida5.0 has kits to use that centre console check it out its pretty cool.

[fatboy02gt]

no its close but the part # i gave says that its a new part which would expain why no one really could help me at first. if you look in the pdf files under harness on there web site you can find it.

 

[02TruBlueGt]

DO NOT GET SCORCHE! They are a POS! Trust me, buy a Metra harness for the brand HU you buy

Cheaper too. Scorche gave me HELL for a good month. PLugged in a Metra and was good to go.
