hey all i just got a Pioneer tv head unit for for xmas im not supposed to know but my girl told me and im not going to install it until i get my cobalt. my issue is will it fit in that space? that space looks huge compared to the cavalier's and do u think they will make a radio/dash replacement holder in the next few months!!!! it has alot of features including a naviagation and specs of the car like acceleration and MPH etc heres the link!

i just hope it looks nice in the dash i wish someone could photshop it for me to let me see
that would be great

l8r all

 

That is the f***ing coolest deck I've ever seen (not that I've looked around much). I want one realllllly bad now, DVD playback, DVD Nav, system monitoring... that's sweet. It would be nice if the Cobalt had DVD Nav as an option, but in a compact car that doesn't have a wreath and shield on the front I'm not gonna expect that from GM.

 

D**n thats nice!! I hope you have an alarm cause if someone sees that its gonna get jacked.

 

lol it aint gonna get jacked i will have an alarm but if it gets stolen i have full coverage so anything happens i will get a check lol

 

wow, I lke it.

Sorry I suck at photoshop

 

WHY do people put tvs, dvd players, and xboxes and all that other **** in their cars
that annoys the crap out of me they are so distracting! Drive safe with that thing.

 

I agree it's distracting but I definetly like the GPS fucntion. I wouldn't like something like that because you would have to mount it to low on the dash to use safely IMO.

 

I don't like it in the Dash, I like it in the headrests if you have a 4 door, because its logical for the passengers, just not the driver.

 

IT sounds like no one has kids. I love this thing and I am thinking of geting one for my 2000 astro. long trips to the river are much better with X-BOX and DVD

 

Tv's are babe magnets! plus i got GPS incase i wanna go to disney world/land!

 

You're going to have install issues.......GM typically uses what's called a double DIN or a DIN and a half. The screen you got is a DIN. Now for most cars they make adapters that replace the extra space with a blank panel or a storage pocket of sorts so you'll have to search for that. Also, if you're getting an SS, then it come's with the factory amplified Pioneer setup which will not be friendly with the deck you got. Infact, it'll be a downright pain in the ass where you'll have to run a lot of dedicated line.......trust me on this. If you're handy with electronics and fabricating you'll be allright. If not, you need to get a shop that deals with totally custom autosound. Places like Best Buy's install team isn't equipped to do it. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I figure you should probably have a heads-up.

you should use the second dash for an in car computer, they make them to fit in a single din, that would be killer, later on you can get an OBDII scanner and hook it up to the computer in your car to monitor practically everything, screw what they have built into the deck, it's probobly worthless
