Question For Those with In-Dash DVD Headunits

Looking at picking up a AVH-P2300 Pioneer Headunit with the built in DVD and touch screen and such... Just wondering if anyone is running something similar? I'm concerned about it fitting properly. It is a Double Din unit but I know the opening on our cars are a little unique, just hoping it will fit.

I'm looking at getting this today, hopefully someone can chime in rather quickly...

I hope you realize the stock radio is a GM 1.5 DIN, and you already have acquired a custom 2DIN bezel from DoubleDMods or another vendor to make a 2DIN work??

^^^^ what he said.. im rockin a sexy *** pioneer avh-p6300 in mine.. wanted the options and screen but wanted to stay single din... as stated above, ours is a 1.5... easy to scale to a single din.. kind of cramped for a Double.. but it does work with a kit from DoubleD...

I was wondering. Looks like some people have trimmed to make a double din work... I'll probably just pass. It's a good deal though.

If you do a search for the AVH-4300 there quite a few threads of people installing them. That's what I bought and will be installing it soon with a bezel from Double D.

It fits nice, doing one in my T/A. Made brackets from steel stock. Ya it is a little tight but it does fit. Just take your time with brackets so it fits correctly.If you do a search you can find what others have done for brackets and or install kits.
