    If it is a bigger one then ya. I think the small ones dont fit the dash and look weird. But better options for music

    Cheap and plays music from multiple sources. It has big buttons so when I'm doing burnouts I can still select my tracks and adjust my volume. :)

    i think my pioneer looks pretty good i fucking hate the idea that the dash kits are plastic for setup that weighs more than the factory radio though it does not mean a quiet interior. my almost new 2010 regular cab sounds horrible over bumps because of the schoshe dash kit! the entire hu is held in by plastic tabs while the factory radio had screws and threads and a metal cage and was rock solid.

    I like my single Din Kenwood just fine. Its not as "clean" looking as stock, but has USB and AUX input which I needed, and has better output to the speakers than stock. Also I had it just lyin around so why not.. Eventually I'l bump it up to a DD touchscreen :cool:

    i think with a DD your just askin to get robbed. SD looks tacky but usually has way better sound than stock and can add new ways to listen to music. stock looks best but sounds like crap
