Radio upgrade
I would like to get people's input on what they have done to upgrade the radio. I have a 2011. I don't need better speakers or anything I just want a Bluetooth radio. I don't want to spend $1400 on a mylink upgrade. What have you used for a double din (I think its called). I found decent pricing on the housing for them but want an easy install on a decent head unit that is cost effective!

So what did that run you? About $700 all together? How was the install?

Yep, the P A C unit was $299 and Kenwood was around $400. The install was a too complicated for me because I also had a new 4 channel amp and a sub amp plus new speakers installed in the factory locations. I let the pros do it.

Price? Install difficulty?

i did the pac with a pioneer around for 650 you can add the mastro i data link to the pac kit. the install is hard for some the camaro dash kit is not the easiest no matter what kit or radio you go with,it is doable harder if you have the gauge pack on the console.i did mine but i was a installer in another lifetime and have done MANY radio upgrades in the past.if you have a few extra bucks i think i would have it done or go for it.
i went with this and am quite happy i also added a back up camera. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 best buy sells the pac kit and will do the install most the double din radios have free installation stay away from the alpine ilx w650 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/kenwood...?skuId=6330049 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pac-int...?skuId=6037430 700 installed +tax Last edited by lemontwist; 08-30-2019 at 10:16 PM. |

Bought the PAC Radio Package on Amazon for 495, comes with everything you need. Install is straight forward, its a 2 day job

If you purchase a non cd/dvd unit at about half the stereo depth, the wires all can sit directly behind stereo.
If you question how difficult the job is, please take it to a professional. It’s fairly easy but that is relative. |
