DVD System ( Noob ?s )
Hey guys, this is my first post on CobaltSS.. im a former JBO member and im trading in my 01 Z24 for an 06 SS/SC and I am interested in putting a DVD player in the car to look like this
And im not sure if there is some kind of kit since Ive seen a few cobalts like this and its common to do, or if there is gonna be a lot of work involved and it wouldnt fit correctly without modification or if Pioneer makes a replacement unit that will just go in the dash to give a DVD system.
I know this has probably been asked before, but I looked around and didnt see it asked yet, and it may be a dealbreaker.. becuase if I could just have the unit replaced with a Stock DVD system or one made for it that isnt a flip out... ill probably pick up the car and do this right away
Thanks guys

I would go with a double DIN HU my self or motorizd and put three guages below the HU. Originally I wanted to do this but the biggest scren I have seen is 7" just like the pioneer DDIN.

So I could buy a double din DVD player.. that would simply replace the factory Headunit ?
Im not interested in relocating the HVAC or anything.. I pretty much just wanna swap out headunits if at all possible. Would something like this work ?

thats for your dash kit ask them for the wiring harness too
if you have 7 speaker system you might want to re wire the whole system speaker wise
