Default C4 help!!!

I am new to this side of the house, I'm usually in the C4 areas so dont beat me up too bad cause I'm sure this has been asked before.

Is there a CD player available that is XM ready that is roughly the same size as the original Bose? I am tired of the junk looking kits that I keep trying.

By the way, it's a 1990 Coupe...

Nothing really in a double DIN form for the Vette.. there are a couple of Kenwood Units, but I believe they may not have the features you are looking for..

I too Hate all the Dahs kits, but I just Bought one from Forum Member, VRUM VRUM. Worth the cost. I have not finished mounting it yet, but from other members picures, it looks very good.

Here are a couple of pics to show you what I did with my 94 coupe. I bought a mount kit from VRUMVRUM as well and agree that it is better than any other options. I went with Pioneer IP-BUS based components, so while the head unit is not "XM-Ready", my XM receiver is connected through an RCA Aux-in connection.

A few pics:

Default Pioneer makes a

3" high one, check on crutchfield for the model number, but I would not buy from them. They have nothing to help you install the HU or speakers, and they are expensive. I also have a 90 couple, and I am going w/ an single din Eclipse HU and Vrum Vrum's mounting bracket. I will have pictures when finished.

I have tried looking for it and called around a little but cant find it, are you sure of the model number? Also, do you know if it is near the factory size of the old unit? Thanks for the help guys...
