Default Head Unit fitment?

Will this head unit fit a 99 firebird T/A. It say its single din. The camaros and T/A are 1.5 DIN right? Which would equal 3in. The hieght on this unit is 4in...or do I have these measurement thing wrong?

Maybe 4" with the screen out, or that is a typo. It should fit with a single DIN adapter kit. Just be sure the HU protrudes out far enough so that the factory bezel doesn't interfere with that screen when it's out.

I'd have to install it to find out right? lol I'm sure I can return if it doesn't.

WalMart will take anything back as long as you have a receipt. Hell, you could take back used diapers and they would apologize and give you new ones.

OK so I ordered the radio and found out I need an adapter to connect the radio with the factory wiring harness. Would it be this one? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Scosche-Ca...-06-GM/4213069

Target sells the dash kit with a harness for $18.98

Just a heads up with the scotche kits I trimmed back the edges of the box so that I could move the mounts further forward so the head unit wouldnt stick out of the dash so much
