If you want a double din unit be ready to either custom make a radio bezel or spend a fortune on one that has been made.

If not you're stuck with one of the silly flip up ones.

The flip up ones would not be ideal, but I suppose could work. When I looked at crutchfield's website, they didn't have any that were compatible. They don't list what the conflict is, maybe because it's a convertible and the daylight readability is bad for many of the displays??? Then I read a bunch on how some models are real crap (even the name brand ones), so I'm a bit turned off by them.

I'm game for a little fabrication if it means I could fit a nice double din unit with good GPS software system and a backup camera. I searched for 95 (or 93) double din kits but could only find firebird kits. Anyone find or see any how-to's for 95 Camaros?

My guess is the incompatibility of the flip up with your car is because of the vents. Perhaps it would block them. That happened when I looked on there for.my GTP and asked around. That is the conclusion I received.

Or perhaps the depth of the unit.

Just my opinions.

I have a 97 convertible, I did some research into a double din unit and in my opinion, it really wasn't worth the amount of trouble to make a radio bezel that would fit a double din unit, you have to cut it, do all the filling and sanding, paint it and I doubt it would ever look totally stock. Guys on here have sold their custom ones for $100+....

Flip up units in my opinion look really cheap and kind of ruin the interior of a car, not to mention as said above - it will block your vents.

It's frustrating, but if you want a good double din unit, you're going to have to either pay, or do some fab work! Good luck!

That looks pretty clean, I wouldn't mind having one.

X2... That's the best I've seen. A little concerned that it looks too good to be true...

Well when you do your own fab work it leaves a lot on the table when it comes to options.:rock:
