I was wondering if our stock decks are double din... i was debating between the pioneer avic n1 and the eclipse avn5435 ... i'm not sure if the eclipse will fit becuase its a double din. Please help me out.

i know a guy that has a Kenwood Excelon DDX7015 double DIN in his NBS Sierra (same dash). fit perfectly he says.

thats good... can anyone else confirm that a double din deck will fit?

I have a 03' escalade and was inquireing in putting a navigation systerm. I called the people who do all the electronics for gm. They recomended to install the eclipse in. I was told that it fits perfect and all steering controls work the same. They told me that this was the best way to go and that the eclipse is an excellent product. (view movies, play vidio games, great navigation etc...) The only problem was that they wanted $4000.00 canadian for it. To rich for my blood right know. Will buy from ebay when im ready and get them to intall it for a couple hundred bucks. Anyway's that's what they tell me, he sounded like he new was he was talking about!

will the ECLIPSE AVN2454 fit in the new escalades?

Yes it will, PERFECTLY. The eclipse is the best on the market. Hopefully I can cop one for $1200 or less.

Can one use the stock steering wheel controls with an AVN2454 in a 2002 escalade?

Any pics showing the perfect fit?

my local shop has em. you can get an interface that allows you to keep your steering wheel controls. search the forum, the links for the site where they have em were posted awhile back.

Does the 02 Escalade have a 1 1/2 Din or Double Din? I want to install an Eclipse Headunit, but I want to find out from anyone of their experiences...

The dimensions do not really match up too well and a local shop said they wouldn't do it. Any suggestions??

I was wondering the same thing. I have the regular Lade but want the eclipse unit cause it would look better thant a regular one like the pioneer.

not a very good pic, but check it out.

What about the 02 Escalades? Will the Eclipse fit? Anyone hav any pictures?

anyone know if the kenwood ddx7017 will fit 02 EXT?

I have an 02 and a local stereo shop told me that I have a den and 1/2. Hope this helps you all. I wanted to do the same thing....

I don't know if this helps.. You could get a 1 den indash flip-up monitor with 7' screen, then install a pre-amp in the 1/2 space below the headunit. I think it looks good, just a thought though.

SO on a 02 with having only a din and 1/2...the AVN2454 won't fit?

It would fit, but you would have to have some comestic altercations. (cutting of the dash) They are going to charge a little more if you have a 1 & 1/2 den space, and want to place a 2 den monitor in the slot. I assume

Hi everybody:

I have a 2002 cadillac escalade. I bought a Kenwood double din DD-X7015 for it, but when i took to the profesionals to get it install they said it will not fit. They told i have to buy the whole front console with the opening for a double din. Does any have sugestions or solutions for my problem?

I got double din for 02 also... my shop is trimming the plastic trim. Not that hard.

An 02 has a 1 1/2 din space. A 2 din receiver requires dash mods. I kept my stock head unit and CD changer, when I did audio, this allowed the steering wheel controls and the rear audio to remain intact. There may now be interfaces for this problem, but there were none available when I did mine. My system sounds great, with the stock head unit. I have not made a final decision on video as of yet, but I will obviously move in a direction other than the dash. I am thinking about doing both front visors, the 2 headrests for the second row, and then a single drop down for the 3rd row.

Here is the kenwood DDX8017 installed in my 05. Steering wheel controls work fine with adapter. Awesome Nav I researched alot and decided it was the best choice.

yeah, da 05 is a perfect fit since it's already double-din. What you pay for the install bro?

My install should be done today, got an Eclipse AVN 5435 double-din custom fitted in an 02. We'll c how it turns out. I'm paying about $350 for install, that includes steering wheel interface, bose bypass interface, fabrication of the trim, and an extended 2 year warranty on unit for authorized dealer install. what yall think?

I'll post pics once I get my ride back.

I installed it myself :)

Sinster, that has to be the cleanest install I've seen for the lade. The 05's went to a double din? If so GM shoulda done that a decade ago. A din and a 1/2 wtf is that? I didn't take the time- do you have the Bose module? If so and it sounds great with Onstar funcionality, plus fact changer, you da man. The fold out din navi looks cheap.

here is a picture of my avn5435 installed, man i love this head unit, had factory navi at first this is way better, plus i can watch dvd's

What dash kit did you use for the eclipse?

dats real clean, wish mine looked that good. I'll post pics soon so yall can see how that same exact unit looks in an 02.

Here it is... it looks like shiet compared to da double dins.

oh yeah, any of you need a controller for da avn holla at me, i got an extra 1602 wireless remote brand new in the box. it's the really thin small one, nice lookin one.
