Double DIN???

Is the radio slot on the C-4 a 1 1/2 DIN or a Double DIN????? Gotta replace my crappy radio and want to fill the entire slot without the "filler" stuff around the edge of a single DIN radio. Thanx in advance!!!!

It's 1 1/2 din . Jensen and Pioneer make one that fits or Ecklers has adapter plate for standard din that looks pretty good . I've got one and it's perfect !

90 got the new dash, isn't that a 2 also?

84-89 = 1.5 DIN
90-96 = 2 DIN

Pioneer make one that fits

:iagree: Its a nice head unit, looks like it belongs there. You'll need new speakers to get the most out it.

No such thing as stoopid questions here. As far as radios go, it's one of the industry standards for the size of the opening in your dash for the radio. Double-DIN means it is twice the size of the DIN standard.

As for DIN itself, here's an excerpt from acronymfinder.com:

"Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. (German Institute for Standardization; similar to US ANSI) "

I don't think the spec includes the depth of the radio. If you look at head unit specs you will find that they differ quite a bit.
