I thought I saw a picture a while ago that someone posted showing an aftermarket Double DIN head unit in a late model Blazer, but I just searched and couldn't come up with anything..

Anyway - I have an '04 and was thinking of swapping out the factory radio and getting this aftermarket one.

I'm just wondering how it'll look in the Blazer - there's a ruggedness about the dash w/ factory HU that I like and the full screen radios just look too "modern". We have one in my wifes minivan (boo!) and althoughthe features are great it definately takes some getting used to.

The radio I'm looking at would really be nice though - I love Garmin GPS's so it would replace my old 2820, and my external XM Radio and give me some more space.

So, if anyone has a picture of a double DIN head unit in a blazer I'd love for you to post it so I can see!
Thanks in advance!

 

I dont believe there was a double din setup for the blazer. Only ones I've seen have all been custom jobs where things have been cut abit. If I can dig any up that arent custom jobs I'll post em.

 

I thought the stock unit is double din...which translates to easy drop in for an aftermarket double din?

Then again, I had to grind off the rear support to get my single din radio to flush mount...same thing to get a double to fit or no way?

 

factorys are 1.5din

 

I've don't recall which website but I've seen itreferred toas "Corporate Double Din" - I know in my 2002 it was 1.5 Din, but the 2004 is slightly bigger - there's less molding around the radio to accomodate for it. Regardless according to the Kenwood (and Crutchfield) websites the radio I'm looking at will fit with modification, and I'm assuming that means removing that rear support that WolfPack mentioned. I think thats a given with any non-factory radio.

 

Well - I got my radio installed today - I tried to take pictures from my phone but they were horrifically blurry so I'll try again tomorrow with a real camera.

Double Din definitely fits!

 

sweet looks like a good pick up. cant wait to see the pics of it in ur blaze!

 

yep, you can fit a DD in 03+ blazers with no real modification.

 

Sorry for the quality - I forgot to grab my camera this morning so I snapped these with my phone.

I'll get more later!
