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.

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.

$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.

DO NOT GET SCORCHE! They are a POS! Trust me, buy a Metra harness for the brand HU you buy
http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/cate...=-13117&N=20013088+20013100+20013105+20013117

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