here it is for only $239, at crutchfield is 299 but they send you a cable and instructions to install it yourself i think
I have the same one installed. We did have to cut some of the plastic from the dash to get it to fit but no biggie. Install is pretty straight forward to do yourself. You will need a dash kit, antenna adapter, and a harness from a 2000 metro. You may need to do something different if you have the upgraded sound system from the factory. If you don't then all you have to do is match up the wires from the metro harness to the head unit. Take the dash apart, remove the old radio (held in by 2 bolts, unplug the antenna and wiring harness) and install the new one. The only other thing is you are going to need to run a power wire from the head unit over to the fuse panel. Just make sure you wire it to something that comes on when the ignition is turned. I don't have any pics from the install but here is one of it installed.
The reason they say it wont fit is because many, if most of the aftermarket players are longer than the stock cd player.
This requires you to cut the plastic behind the dash as stated above.
Crutchfield says it wont fit because it is not a direct bold on in the sense because slight cutting is required...
i love the blue trim, what is the paint color, or paint code ^^
