Will a double din dvd fit in my stock radio location?

Remove this ad
I just bought a 96 Sedan DeVille this afternoon. I would like to upgrade the head unit with a dvd video hu. This is the one I am looking at:
http://www.jvc-victor.co.jp/english/...706/index.html



Would this work in my 96? It says it will work in cars with a 4" high opening, and my opening is around 4 3/4"

I did search the forums, but could not find this specific information.

Thank you,
Brett

Re: Will a double din dvd fit in my stock radio location?

So if I pick up the Metra 2004 kit I can dremel/sand it out to fill up the sides right?

I do not have the bose system, just the basic cassette player.

I ended up buying a Panasonic instead because the JVC was not a touch screen.

Re: Will a double din dvd fit in my stock radio location?

Cool, I think I'm all set now. I bought the Metra 03 data cable kit, the antenna adapter, the HU, and the Metra single din kit with pocket. I also picked up an overhead flip down lcd monitor that mounts on the roof, so the kiddies can watch movies while in the backseat.

Has anybody else here installed one of these overhead flip down monitors?

No bose. Just regular CD and cassette tape. Steering wheels controls ( I would like to keep these working) And Actually I dont care about upgrading the speakers, the HU could enhance the SQ ( I guess) The same as above or like 99 Classillac has, that would would pretty sweet in my ride
