Up grade stereo question
I have a 2013 vert. I want to upgrade the stereo and have little to no knowledge. Im looking at the scosche or metra kit. First question is can the factory stereo work with either the scosche or metra kit? I see that there are several different screen sizes on double din after market stereo's. Does it matter what screen size I buy or does the kits only fit one size. I see 8.0, 7.0, and 6.1. Would hate to buy one and then not fit. Thanks for your help

Are you saying you want to get rid of the MyLink indash infotainment unit? Just as an FYI..you're going to lose a lot of functionality if you do this..its not just your stereo that you'll be removing here...your backup camera and related backups sensors and a few other things are all connected to the factory stereo. I dont think ive ever heard of someone ditching the factory indash MyLink setup for an aftermarket solution like the 2010-2012 guys can and have done, but im sure it IS possible.

I thought there would be adapters that would still allow everything to function the same. If the functions would not work then I wouldn't change out. I know my friend upgraded his 2011 vert and his steering functions still work. Just thought it would be the same. Thank you

The screen size is irrelevant. You go by the actual radio size, which in this case is usually double din.

Guys, I too want to change the amp, but want to be sure I don't lose any of the stock functionality. Had a bad experience with my vette when I did an upgraded (had a Bose system and installer told me after the entire job that I won't have on-star and other functionality).
Basically want to keep the front end, all functionality but improve power/sound then speakers at a later date. Please advise. |
