Does anyone have this head unit installed in their cavaliers or sunfires of this generation? I want to get it, but Crutchfield people told me that it is like .04 of an inch too long. Are they full of crap?

They are full of it. It'll fit.

yup, cause my buddy has one in his 2000 sunfire

I have one. It was a little hard to install because it WAS slightly too long. But I cut away a little part of the plastic piece in the back and I was able to squeeze it in there. Go for it, it's a great unit.

I have the 9853. I believe it's the same size unit... and mine fits no problem.

Mine is similar because it is Alpine...I had that piece behind the radio cut out the day I brought it home...and John Lenko's instruction made me realize that you have to run a power wire from the deck to the fuse box to bypass the class ii crap (im sure its still sticky) ...make sure you get a metra 99-3301 install kit because it wont look right in the dash with that crappy kit Crutchfild sends you..use the # i referenced to buy one @the stereo shop or order it. On a lighter note...the girl that lives with me has that combo in her 00 sunfire and we modded NOTHING but that wire


I'm with stupid!>>>>>>Of coarse, sometimes I feel like turining those arrows the other way and saying I'm stupid!
