Dash kit and head unit? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am thinking about getting a dash kit and head unit to replace my stock radio, and I have no idea which Kit or head unit to get, or even if I should replace the stock radio. For me the number one feature with my radio is being able to hook up my iPhone through Bluetooth. I also want to keep all the features that I currently have with my stock radio. So I want to keep, steering controls, blue tooth calling...etc. what do y'all think would be a good choice for both a kit and a head unit? Are there kits/head units out there that will allow me to keep using my steering controls, blue tooth calling...etc? Thanks guys!

i think this is a repeat post.

Anyways to your questions:
what do y'all think would be a good choice for both a kit and a head unit?This is subjective. Based on people taste and requirements.

Are there kits/head units out there that will allow me to keep using my steering controls, blue tooth calling...etc Yes - plenty of people here with double din and dash kit.. just search to see what they did and how its working.

Are you even going to install this yourself? If not go talk to an installer. Mobile sound systems in arlington did mine.

I have the Metra Kit with a Pioneer z120bt. My steering wheel functions work. I can make calls and listen to music via bluetooth. Hope this information helps.

Look at the new Sony stuff, they are top of the line currently. At least that is how I feel and we carry every brand on the market. Good price, tons of options, and a really cool user interface.

Not to mention the new mirror link
