Stock radio or scosche kit? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am debating on switching out my radio in my 2010, I would like to wait for mylink but I think because of the door lock switch in the 2010, it will be at least a couple years before I get mylink. I'm Debating on if I should keep the radio stock, or get a scosche kit, what do y'all think? Any touchscreen radios you reccomend to go with the scosche? Maintaining my steering wheel and Bluetooth functions are really important. So what do y'all think stock or scosche?

I'd say a lot depends on what your goal is for the new radio? Do you just want something newer b/c your bored? Better sound? more bass? better interface?

I thought about getting a better radio -- but didn't like any of the Double DIN options for faceplates b/c i really like the stock climate controls.... and my radio does everything i need it to.

I wouldn't mind having a backup camera/GPS, and will definitely be keeping an eye on the attempts to swap out a 2013 radio into a 2010 and see how that does.

I would say hang tight. I am currently troubleshooting an issue where my scosche kit is causing an issue with the vehicle receiving the signal from the key fob and TPMS. Once it is unplugged, things start to work.

I have the scosche kit and it works great. The only problems I have with it are....1...it blocks my top 2 gauges on my 4pk cluster.....2.... It's a pita to install the gauge cluster cause the scosche kit really tightens up the space.

If it were me.... I wouldnt get the scosche kit..... I also had a hard time getting it to work correctly... For what it is..... It does the job.... But I sometime think about putting my stock radio back in....

Had same problem and created a thread for it. For me the TPMS issue started happening when installer tried to update the firmware.The firmware kept failing and the TPMS issue started. Dealer asked me to get back stock, installer put factory radio back and had no problems. At the same time we returned dash kit because trying to update the firmware killed it. I doubt scosche documented that i was having tpms issue and logged it as a blown screen. Make them give you a new one.
