Im runnning an older AVIC Z series and it fits fine but you dont have a true Double DIN slot you have a 1.5 DIN. The double DIN did not start until MY 90. Just FYI

In short it wont fit in your dash without significant modification

As stated, a double din will not fit, without them hacking up the dash and bezel.
I opted for a single din flipout and custom mount.

Well just called audiotronics there master installer drives an 89 vette...
He said he could do it but it would hack my bezel to peices like u guys stated above...
That really killed the ubber radio idea....
Looks like ima have to go flip out single dinn.

The Pioneer DEH-P47DH is a 1.5 DIN size with a nice CD player, with 45 watts x 4 channel output, and fits real nice in the '84-'89 dash opening.

Bad thing about the Bose system is, if you change one component you gotta change everything practically. No less than $1000 to get tunes back into my car. Damn it. The friggen radio don't even work.. I take that back, I do get the christian station. Whoo hoo...

Is it worth having the original Bose CD player repaired or replaced? I have a 93 and the CD player doesn't work and when I saw a another 93 at the Corvette Expo in Sevierville, TN the first thing the owner asked me when I told him I had a 93 was, "Does the CD player work?" His didn't either.
