Default In dash t.v./cd player?

I was wondering if there was a company that makes a exact or really close size in dash cd player/tv/dvd to the stock monsoon unit already in place. I don't want a flip out tv either, just one that sit's flush in there and has a full screen. Also I don't want to have alot of extra plastic showing just to be able to mount one in the car. If you know of one let me know which one and the brand. Pics would be nice too if you have some.

Thanks,
Jimmy

Most of the ones you are talking about are made by cheaper brands. However, these sound pretty good and have alot of features such as bluetooth, navigation in some cases, touch screens, DVD playback, aux inputs, SD card readers, usb inputs, etc. They also fit into a single DIN chassis so you would use that as your mount. The ACT HU5300NV has GPS Navigation as well.
Here are a few I have currently:
ACT HU4100 ($239.00):


ACT HU4300 ($259.00):


ACT HU5300NV ($499.00) w/GPS navigation

The ones yall are telling me about fit the hole for the factory radio perfect without alot of extra plastic needing to be there to cover the hole?

KEE AUDIO I was wanting something like this one I found on your website(Panasonic CQVD6505U), but fits the hole real nice.

A double DIN head unit won't fit the 1.5 DIN opening in an f-body without significantly modifying the bezel.

Talking Sony has TFT screen CDX-M9900

I have a single din Sony with TFT screen
so I added a .5 DVD under it and it works great
I drive video to the screen via computer and a wireless card to my slingboxes at home ... Direct TV in the Camaro

Looks like it belongs there

The ones I posted up there are actually 1.5DIN sized units. The top 2 would not leave any gaps. The last on would leave very small corners at the bottom but would be covered by the mount adapter. They make mounting them easier though by the back part fitting a single DIN opening. You would use a flat faced GM mount adapter as you would with any single DIN aftermarket radio and then put of of those in which would hand down filling the bottom gap in since the face is oversized.

I saw that! Looks great. I have the AVX1 that is similar to that and fills the hole nicely...

If you mean that you lost the harness that has loose wires and actually plugs into the back of the head unit, you'll have to contact the manufacturer for a replacement.

If you mean the adapter harness that connects to the loose wires from the head unit and plugs into the factory radio harness, just go buy another one from any auto parts store or even WalMart.
