Title: Advice on a double din stereo install 75 Corvette and installer Newcastle
Post by: jimandemma on February 07, 2017, 01:03:37 PM

G,day guys and girls, new member here, hello to all. Fantastic forum that I have been following for a while now until the purchase of the 75.

Can someone please give me some advice on stereo installers in the Newcastle area and also the install of a double din unit. I want Satnav as well as a reversing camera, bluetooth ect, but not sure of the room available in the console from the original unit back towards the shifter.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Jim

It aint gunna fit. You can fit a single din player with blue tooth there is a replacement centre cluster panel from the states which is the same as your panel but has been hacked out for wider radio then a dress up panel is fitted over the top is about $250. You can do the same to yours for nothing.Get a rear entry usb connection then  run extension cable for ipod can be put in the pocket on dash . USB can be put in ashtray

Right.......Thanks.

I am looking at a single din where I don't need to cut much from the original fascia.
