OPTIMUSPRIME Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Im thinking of doing this, placing a single din CD player in the radio pocket(i believe it works with FM signal) Anybody done this? any pics? does mitsubishi carry a single din that i could place on the pocket? i think a mitsubishi din would look good in there. thankx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarc Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 What do you mean by "radio pocket"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDawg_43 Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Are you refering to the pocket under the radio? If you are, there are currently no brackets there to bolt it up to. You will have to build the bracket to put a radio there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyrgr Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 If you mave a model with auto seatbelts, you will have to move the control module. If you do that, you should be able to put a single din unit there. I put an EQ unit in that location, but it was only a face. Just 1/2" thick. Pics under My Install.

OPTIMUSPRIME Posted February 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 yes pocket under radio[ftp]Crutchfield.com - CD Changers, Universal Add-on[/ftp](no turner)... i saw a couple of cd players here that would work with FM freq. radio(they dont have fm/am radio) hey, if i only need brakets to install i might get this as long it reads burned CD's. but..hhhhhhhhmmmm thinking about it i have an auto trans and might have to put it in drive to put the CD in...oh well...something to think about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 another thing to consider... using a fm modulator will reduce your sound quality, which may or may not matter depending on what you're after. mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyrgr Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Personally, unless you just like the factory set-up, I would go with a new complete unit. Even a cheap unit will sound better that an FM modded cd. I've heard that there is even aftermarket devices which alow the steering wheel buttons to work.

fast89 Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Optimus, Seriously man, get a new stereo. It is not that hard to install. Plus an aftermarket radio makes all the difference in the world in sound quality, even with stock speakers. My pioneer bolted right up to the factory mounts without a problem. I didnt use the 'anti-theft' bracket that comes with it because you can just yank the stereo out if you use it. It makes it easier to get to the back if you use it but I would rather not have it stolen ($350) By bolting it directly to the mounts you cant get it out! It sits flush on the top and to the sides. Plus this allowed me to install my turbo timer, boost and A/F under the radio in the space that I saved by using a single din radio. Double din - the height of the stock radio Single din - half the size of the stock radio, same height as your normal stereo's sold today. Plus you can install a DVD player or TV in one of the dins if you want. Play xbox while driving! Sega GT for xbox has a starion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
