looks like a din-and a-half unit...

originally $999.. now for $339.. not bad considering it has GPS

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...PAVN-4210.html

so you think this will fit with just a filler plate, and no modifications to the bezel?

Looks like single DIN. It should fit with the right backing plate. Great price for a GPS capable system

I checked the specification section of the one you posted and it does say a sigle din. An adapter to fill in the gap and it will work just fine. Im going to do a double din custom here soon but these look fine and have a nice screen.

I'd suggest this... find a handheld GPS with a similar sized screen; while sitting in your Corvette - have somebody hold it for you - in the exact same location as your car radio. Make certain your eyes can see & read the screen easliy.

you can get additional details about Power Acoustik radios (including a dimensions diagram) by emailing:
