Double DIN Monitor in a '99 GT?

quiksilver225 · July 16th, 2008, 07:55 PM

i have a '99 gt and want to put a double din sized monitor/gps into it. the dash in the 99 has 2 single din sized slots that cannot acomidate a double din monitor. i talked to the local custom shop and they said that they will have to custom build the entire center piece of my dash from scratch in order for me to install the Double DIN sized components. I know that the newer mustangs( 2003, 2004) come from the factory with a double din sized slot as opposed to the 2 single din slots. i was wondering if i could just pick up a dash from a newer mustang and swap it in or if i really do have to pay 500-1000$ for a custom dash piece.

Yes you can but you'll have to modify the brackets. It is a lot cheaper than custom fabrication.

i would pick one up from a 02 + it will be alot cheaper and you wont have to worry any custom stuff

at this point i like the pioneer avic-z3. any other suggestions or feedback are more than welcome. i want gps on a hard drive(not a dvd), dvd capabilities, mp3, i pod, and video inputs.

The elipse units are pretty nice, so I'm told.

Look at Chris's set-up, the guy on here with the tag that says SLOW02

but otherwise pioneer is a great company, i feel one of the best for multimedia units..

I personally don't use my radio half of the time. when I do use it I listen to cd's or my mp3 player. I'd rather stick the money where it matters most, under the hood.

agreed but my radio is fu**** up.. and i spent to much time in my car to have a radio that wont stay on a station for more than a minute and eats CD's.. lol
