Default Aftermarket Stereo that fits?

My CD player in my 2000 coupe no longer works and I'd like to replace the stock Delco stereo with an aftermarket one. Does anyone know of a vendor that makes a plate to fill in the void or an aftermarket panle to use with an aftermarket stereo?

They should have them at any car stereo shop.

there are many aftermarket pannels to fill in the open space. Alot of times if you go to a vendor either online or a brick and mortar store and you purchase the head unit you want. They will ask you the type of car and year and will sell you the appropriate kit to make a nice clean install.

I am very pleased with my vrumvrum face plate.



Pioneeer makes a 1.5 DIN unit, but it is kind of an outdated model.

I installed the Pioneer DEH-77 (1.5 DIN) in my car. I will handle Sirius or XM. I'll probably install a touch screen next winter but I didn't want to wait for Sirius. Looks good and sounds good.

Purchasing a Pioneer AVIC D1 to install. Double Din head unit, so I'm having C5 Kidd (Brian) do a new bezel for me.

I used the Metra 99-4544 generic GM fitting kit. I got mine at Best Buy I think.
