  • So is there ANY solution to a Double Din in a G6?

    I REALLY want the Pioneer Avic-D1. Researched all aftermarket radios and this one seems to be one of the best, well in my opinion. I basically just love the Navigation it comes with. Anywho, through all that research I have looed a lot about trying to find a way to put a double din in a g6 to begin with. So far I have found nothing. Does anyone else know how it can be done?

        The stock radio is double din. you can pull out the stocker and just replace it, but then you just need to worry about the DIC display thingy. I wouldnt recommend leaving it unplugged. You could always buy that replacement single DIN Display for 200.00 and just find a creative place to install it and probably take it apart. Going to hvae to use some creativity on this one.

          Yeah maybe where the little G6 emblem is above the cigarette lighter plug ins. BUT an aftermarket radio wont fit just right where the stock radio is, they are different sizes... well at least Best Buy says they are.

            I haven't heard anything like that. If there is a difference in size.....and its slightly larger than a double din....there is something you can do.....It's called make your own kit of fiberglass. Not too easy and very time consuming, but can be done. I've seen them done before and they can certainly look pretty bad ass. I know a little more about it, if you are interested in that approach, just hit me up.

              Haha I am certainly not THAT good. By good I mean good enough to create my own fiberglass kit to make a radio fit... but yeah anywho they are different sizes, stock is bigger.

                buy some fiberglass....buy a book, and just play with it. Give you the chance to maybe find a new talent haha. it takes time, but it will give your interior a unique fit that you know other members might not venture out to do.

                  I thought a double din opening was universal in size?

                    lol i might just do that... Is it pretty much just a matter of heating and bending/shaping?

                      Fiberglass is more of layer layers....almost like papermache, however you spell that stupid word. once it dries, you sand to shape, and then re-lay more layers until you accomplish the exact shape you want. Then you paint!

                            I've always been interested in playing around with fiberglass, but I tend to get messy when I play I would probably be found weeks later glued to the garage floor by resin!
