Thread: Is it possible to install a new head unit FLUSH?

I'm ready to finally upgrade my head unit on my 2000 GTP. My question is this. Is there a way to mount an aftermarket (looking at the new Pioneer 6200BT that comes out in a week) head unit so that it is flush and doesn't stick out 1" or whatever? It seems like most people have head units that stick out.

Thanks.

well since aftermarket HUs are longer tthan the factory radio, the adapter is going to stick out, and just the faceplate will stick out from that, unless you customize a dash kit

Id say that mine doesnt stick out

kjohnson, yours definitely doesn't stick out like some of the others I've seen. Is that something to do with the humount? Or was your replacement HU just not as deep as most?

it is a humount but i did have to dremel out this little peice of plastic behind the cd player

I have seen others for much cheaper though that are flush mounting you just got to get the right size of the compartment which right off hand I cant remember. I'm pretty sure that it is a letter that tells you what size for sure. you can get toughs for like 10 bucks. I really like the look of mine its really clean but still flashy but it was defiantly an expensive install for a couple of lights. just a thought. you may be able to get the mount for cheep from like crutch field or something like that.

humounts rock. i had one in my car. its about as flush as youre going to get since the mount actually sandwiches the head unit in it.

when I go out to my car later this week ill take pics for you so you can see how much it sticks out. but i dont think you could sit it farther back

Yeah, that'd be cool (to get the pics)...

might take me a couple days cause im parked in the middle of bum FU*k nowhere but ill get em to you

this guy used a dash kit for a f-body

2 screws to drop the kick panel on the drive side down, then it just pulls off, unplug the fog light switch and remove. Takes about 2min

i modified one that was made for a camaro

now i roll stock

Wow. The amount MINE sticks out is almost embarrassing...

Yeah humount is the best one you can find for our cars and rock 108 FTW.

thank you for posting this website. Those are some nice mounting plates

I never listen to it. I use my iPod. Honestly? I hate rock 108. :P

The blaze is better, but rock 108 comes in better.
