Touch screen radio
I'm looking to replace the GM factory radio in my '02 Z06 with a touch screen head unit. I'm assuming since the size of the factory radio is smaller that I would need to purchase one that extends out and flips either up or down. Has anyone replaced their radio with this type of radio or found one that is a stationary touch screen? If so could you recommend a brand? Any issues installing? Pictures would be great!!

There are some who have this type of radio, some like them others do not. Boss, power acoustiks and soundstream all make one as does Pioneer I think, I know they used to.
I don't know the quality of them but soundstream does make some good speakers so I've heard.
I have thought about it at different times but always decided against it. Personally I would get a single din HU, or wait until I wanted to spend the money on a new bezel from DD and then get a double din if that's I wanted. More expensive but if you want a double din screen it would be worth the wait.

I had the King of Audio build me a new radio bezel for my double din nav unit, Contact Dennis at DoubleDMods a forum vendor, Looks much better that one that flips up.

That looks awesome! How much would it run to make the radio bezel like that, If you don't mind me asking, or PM me if you want

Coincidentally, I had the Grand Pooba of Audio, Dennis of Double D Mods, build me a double din bezel and head unit configuration with upgraded speakers and a rear camera function. It turned my 14 year old C5 cabin into a present day audio visual masterpiece of sexual

with contacting Dennis at Double D Mods. Very knowledgeable on the C5 audio stuff and can set you up with a killer system.

It is an older AVIC-920BT and I love it, You can upload any background you want, Best to contact Dennis and he can price it out for you.

Yep, the first one we put in had a bunch of little buttons for the controls. What a pain! The head unit lasted about a week before ripping it out. Get one with ***** or BIG pushbuttons.
