Default Replacement Radio

I’m looking for a new audio system. Has anyone tried the

JVC KW-Z1000W?


It’s 10” and I’m wondering how it looks/fits in a C6. Other recommendations appreciated!

Go to crutchfield.com and you will find all the radios that will fit and reviews. That is the best source to look for a radio

I found the JVC KW-Z1000W at Crutchfield. I’m looking for advice from someone who has this model or at least a 10” display radio who could tell me if it looks and functions good or is it too big and covers AC vents or something like that.

This is a personal opinion question and you should look at some pics of both styles and decide for yourself. My opinion is that a 10" is too large. I prefer a 7" screen that fits inside the same envelope for an OEM look.

Most people want the display to look and fit into the factory display area. Having it appear "factory" and fit in the opening is an aesthetic thing that most people will prefer.

If it was me I would stay away from upgrades with GPS, cause they always need update's, using Waze on your phone it's always updated to the new roads and highways.
