Need a new HU Hi there.. Bought a 93 camaro recently.. Bu the stereo only has a casette player.. meaning useless more or less.

There is almost nothing available in 1.5 DIN except original equipment. Pioneer made a couple of models with CD/MP3 capability and optional iPod support (add-on adapter) but they've been discontinued for a while now. You might still find them on eBay - models DEH-P47DH and DEH-P77DH.
As far as original equipment, as long as your current system isn't Bose you can use any 1.5 DIN GM head unit from 1988 or later except Bose units. Of course you'll probably want to avoid Pontiac units - they'll work but they won't match the interior or lighting of your Camaro.
Another option would be to get a cassette adapter so that you can use your iPod with the existing head unit.

How will the sound be going through such a casette adapter?
Thinking of byuing a original cd unit and doing the ipod mod(jack input on cd channels left and right) on it listed in here also? But i i can hook up my ipod i pretty much wont need a cd unit since ipod will be much easier and better than having loads of cd's laying around in the car!
Great help so far btw

It comes with almost all older portable CD players, xm radios (skifi etc..) and other older MP3 players. It sends the MP3 signal thru your tape deck like you were playing a tape, however the sound quality is decient and depends upon the condition of the heads in your tape deck. Just update to a 1 din and get a nice looking HU mount: (humount.com) to fill the space.
