Clarion DFZ675MC opinions needed!
As usual, i like to hear what my fellow cobalt peers have to say about what i plan on purchasing. I've been looking for a head unit for some time now. I've wanted a double DIN dvd player, but i didn't want to spend the money. I would love to keep the dash looking as stock as possible, but with most HUs being single din, that is usually not possible. Until now i just recently came across the Clarion DFZ675MC , and all i can say is wow.
here is a link to the unit, runs about 250+ online. opinions are greatly appreciated. as well as the main question. this should fit shouldn't it?!
http://www.clarion.com/us/en/product...643389128.html
The features it has seem excellent for the price, and from what i've heard, clarion is rather decent manf.
thanks all.
i think the crutchfield filter is off btw, because it does not show ANY double dins, compatable with a 2005 base cobalt.

should it fit?
baah, i just don't want tha extra hole in my dash due to the single din unit. the reason why i dont want a double din dvd is b/c i work @ the county jail, in the middle of the hood, and yes cars get broken into in jail parking lot, its ironic. and when my alarm goes off i can't just leave 100+ murders and rapist alone to go tend to my car..lol for those who would say "get an alarm" i think this HU is rather decent, specially b/c of the music catcher feature, i am selling smething on ebay that'll sell for about the price of this HU. i think i may do it.

lol calm down killer what he was trying to say is you worded that incorrectly... a head unit isnt an investment at all. Its a toy/added function to your car. Sorta like the led dome light i recently purchased... it doesnt gain value (might even decrease value of the car) so its not an "investment" but i didnt purchase it for that purpase i did it because i wanted to. same with your head unit your buying it because you want it not to "invest" in anything.

i could see where it could look confusing, im rather tech savvy though if you know what i mean , i doubt ill have a problem with it.
Sorry about that , wasn't trying to come off as a dick. So i apologize if anyone took it that way. What JJ said is correct, im not looking to increase the value of my car in anyway with this headunit. Just looking to get a snazzy head unit. Im the kind of guy driving the balt with just headers exhaust and and CAI. and probably nothing more as far as performance goes. Although looking to add a lot of visual upgrades, such as wheels, interior mods, body kit, and etc.. I dont have the need for speed. Just for looks and sound. Some may call me a poser, but i call myself a cruiser. I've lost 2 close friends due to racing, one was legal , one was street racing. so i really am not into the whole racing thing, just making my ride look clean and sound clean. :-)

im sorry, that kind of stuff was a very bad choice of words on my part. i mean if i am buying an aftermarket head unit im going to make it worth while.. i want a screen, and i want it to look like it isnt somthing you can get from a factory. im a very big fan of technology so i go big or go home.
but if its what you want go for it man, make sure it fits! not alot of room behind the dash :-/,... had trouble with mine and all 3 wireing harnesses

noo, it might not fit because it is too tall, or too deep, or too wide, there might be too much wireing for it to fit, or it might be too small, they sell double din for the cobalt i was looking at one, if crutchfield says its a no go i would trust them.. they test fit everything on the cars... i have bought so much **** from them... they are amazing, i would trust there word

CRUTCHFIELD IS OVERPRICED DON'T BUY FROM THEM, PLUS THEY DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH GOOD ****. I'M TELLING YOU GUYS WOOFERSETC.COM IS THE BEST! ALSO EBAY HAS SOME STEALS and I'm being serious.

you should try out that button between shift and tab on the keyboard, its called that caps lock,..aperently you found it once, should really try it again /\
crutchfeild is not a rip off
do you pay more at crutchfeild? quite often yes
but you get more there also, things like step by step instructions, awesome customer service, somtimes harnesses and adaptors...thats somthing alot of these cheaper places do not offer
http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/S...l/fp/SFV/30046
they have good prices as well, ive delt with them personally and have been happy

You should try not posting on here, unless you are gonna say something meaningful. Pull your head it was caps locked for a reason.
