Default 1987 Corvette Navigation/DVD system install

Hey everyone, I recently picked up a 1987 corvette and am wanting to take the stock cassette radio out and put a navigation/dvd player in it. I know its a 1.5 din. That said, what navigation/dvd sytem would work in it? I dont really want to have to mold anything or mess with the dash if i dont have to. I dont mind getting a fold out screen but since it is not a 1 din and it is a 1.5 din, how do i do this? Any help is much appreciated. Also, it currently has the bose system.

Easiest would be to get a single din nav with popout screen and install it with the proper dash kit.

Ok thx for your reply, quick question tho, what about the Bose system. I have tea before that sometimes just by buying a new device you would have to change out whole system. Is this correct? Or is it as easy as buying a flip out single din player and dash kit, and installing how the current one is installed? Thanks

If you get the right adapter it should be pretty much plug-n-play. Try asking in the c4 section or checking out the stickies.
