chico_192 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I would like to install a stereo with a screen in my 98 gt. Not one of the ones that flips out though. I was wondering if anyone has one installed and what kind it is. If you can post up a picture of it. Think this will work? http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Boss-Audio-BV9150-4.5-Double-DIN-Touchscreen-TFT-Monitor-Multimedia-Detachable-Front-Panel-USB-SD-Card-Slot-Front-Aux-In-AM-FM-Wireless-Remote-80W-X-4-BV9150?utm_source=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=GoogleBaseFeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC Wagon Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 If you look through the threads Ive started, youll find one where I installed a Double Din Pioneer Avic 9115 BT in my outback with no issues. All Double Dins fit perfectly in 98's from what Ive seen. What kind of Head Unit do you have or want? Id suggest Alpine or Kenwood if your gonna want navi. they source out or dump a lot of $$$ into Research and Development for thier Navi systems, Pioneer didnt. Ive got navi installed and still use my garmin portable Feel free to ask specific questions, and I will help you out best I can . Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico_192 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 well I just found a head unit that i have some interest in. Single din unit with a 7in lcd screen. A soundstream VIR 7022nr. Anyone have any experience with these and know the quality? http://www.soundstream.com/Video%20Products/InDash/vir7022nr.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDXLegoWagon Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 well I just found a head unit that i have some interest in. Single din unit with a 7in lcd screen. A soundstream VIR 7022nr. Anyone have any experience with these and know the quality? http://www.soundstream.com/Video%20Products/InDash/vir7022nr.htm I would steer clear of Soundstream when shopping for headunits. My personal recommendation is the same as stated above, Kenwood or Alpine with Kenwood being my personal choice. If you don't care about nav, check out the Kenwood DDX-318. You should be able to get one for under $350. Pioneer units from the last couple of years are much better than in the past and as much I dislike Sony, their double din units are decent. The unit you linked to is not a double din, and the way that the screen comes out could very likely cause issues with fitment in your dash. A double din will bolt right in to your dash using the factory radio brackets and will look much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampped88 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 i have the pioneer 3200bt looks like it came with the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 another option is a double DIN VGA monitor and a net-book in the glove-box or elsewhere, takes a bit more wiring and modification, but you will have a fully functional media center in your dash.

chico_192 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 how do you feel about the sony xav 62bt? i think thats what im going with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDXLegoWagon Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 how do you feel about the sony xav 62bt? i think thats what im going with It should be a good unit. I installed one that was very similar and I was really impressed with it. Ive been selling against Sony for 17 years, so It's not easy for me to admit that. My only concern is that it only has two pairs of preamp outputs which would be a hindrance if you plan on adding multiple amplifiers. If you do not plan to add amps or only a sub amp, you'll be in good shape. If you want to expand beyond that then you are going to want to find something with three pairs of pre-outs. If you end up going with this unit, post your impressions of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stasis Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 on a semi related note, does anyone know where to get a double din spacer/pocket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico_192 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Thats what I am concerned with was the preamp outputs, although the only thing i have in my car is a sub amp so im hoping It works out fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDXLegoWagon Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 on a semi related note, does anyone know where to get a double din spacer/pocket? Are you looking for a double din sized pocket? Like for a radio delete? I have never seen one. You will probably have to stack two DIN pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stasis Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 ^It's not for me, for my cousin on his third gen since they have 3 din spaces. We can't find a double din anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDXLegoWagon Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 A quick search turned this up but it's pretty spendy! http://www.japanparts.com/db/partslist.php?KEYWORD=66120b&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&dealer=1&car=11&middlesmall=2%3A&maker=5&VOLKEY= Personally I would just stack two single din pockets.
