Yes - these things are utter crap - I still won't buy anything from Corvette Central after they sold me one of these POS and wouldn't take it back.

And saying "Corvette" on the front is real cool - until the cheap sticker falls off and you have a hole in your crappy radio.

Good old Spark-O-Matic. "You can tell by the static that I got a Spark-O-Matic". Thanks for the memories. :)

You could always get the new consoles that have the DIN hole already cut into it. I replaced mine with a JVC standard DIN because mine was already cut up. I think the pre-cut ones run about $85(?) or so.

where did you see those????

You can buy just the bezel and cut yours, or buy the pre-cut guage panel/bezel

I've been using a Kenwood modified by CAS and been very happy with it. It's their house brand that is a poor performer.....

What does it cost for a Mike Hagen conversion? I have a Custom Auto Sound Schitt System and I hate it. No radio reception, no base ...POS!
