that could work. you'd need to leave the factory radio in the car though. using forward & reverse harnesses the factory radio could be re-routed up behind the glove box (if it'll fit) or back to the trunk. there's another little harness too that may need to be extended. keep us up to date. i was looking at a solution like this myself.
06 w/ auto. climate controls......
ok, so i was driving back from SEMA and ive had my radio out a few times already, but i never really looked to see if the radio itself could actually be removed. Now if per chance, i can get it out, i could easily laser cut black plexi to fit in the hole. Has anyone really tried this yet??? yeah i know only a single din would go, but hell if i could make it retain the factory piece, and not have to buy a whole kit, wouldnt that make our lives easier??? i think that will be my project tommorrow night. I'll grab some pics and the such if it will work. Let me see if i can come up with something. i stared at the dash for like 3 hours while sitting in traffic, and i figure there has got to be a way to do it easily. I.m pretty much at the point of, screw metra and scosche ill make it myself................ lol

well it doesnt look too good really. i did in fact seperte the radio from the dash piece. but the hazard switch has a small ribbon cable to it, and the climate controls have 2 6 pin connectors that attach to the radio bezel. i want to know what crackhead engineer thought thus was a good idea. i would love to beat him/her with a stick..........ughhhh this is going to be a PITAthat could work. you'd need to leave the factory radio in the car though. using forward & reverse harnesses the factory radio could be re-routed up behind the glove box (if it'll fit) or back to the trunk. there's another little harness too that may need to be extended. keep us up to date. i was looking at a solution like this myself.
