What did you replace factory radio with?

[Layne02]

So I am needing to replace factory radio. What will fit and not break the bank? Thanks

Retrosound is about $100 more than the second, more dressed up model of these stereos. I don't know how good any of these are. Your only other options are another Delco 2700 or a Delco 2700 ETR, which is the same size radio with the same knobs, but it has a digital readout, seek/scan, and an EQ adjustment.

I bought the Retrosound Hermosa and it works very well. The going price for the Hermosa now is about $279, but when I was searching for it about 18 months ago it came up as a bare radio for only $135. I was going to buy a set of GM knobs for it anyway (they cost $20), so it was a significant savings for me. It has Bluetooth to answer my phone, external input for a memory stick to play music, mini-plug audio input, etc.

I find a pair of super 44 flowmasters to be very fitting.

Just do what most people do get yourself a 21oz straight claw hammer and hack the **** out of the dash....... kidding of course I’ve fixed a couple that appeared to have been done that way.

Any radio will fit if your use motivation and creative adjectives

I like the factory look of the 98+ Blazers and 4th gen Camaro CD players-if you are going with a 1.5 DIN radio opening of course.

thats how mine is.

the head unit in it was falling back into the dash because it was so hacked up it didnt even fit in the hole right.

Mine has some hellmart removeable faceplate abortion gerry rigged into the radio hole. There was a Creed cd stuck in it. I may use that space for a cb and go with a docking station for my phone.

Spotify and my saved music is enough usually but there are radio apps that do not use data.

BTW, that Creed cd makes me question everything the seller told me! LoL

Fortunately mine isn't hacked up, just had some POS stuck in there, kinda leaning towards Retrosound??.

Mines still the factory am/fm radio with the single dash speaker.
