Better Sound System/Deck?

[chung7]

Did anyone ever install a stereo system different than the ones offered by the dealer?I'm wondering if I can install a Sony or Kenwood system that plays CD/MP3s, but I'm worried about the size. The Vibe deck seems much bigger than the systems I see in the stores.Another note: doesn't make sense that Pontiac won't offer the CD/Cassette stereo when the Matrix does. UUGGGHH

You may want to check in the Audio & Electronics forum. There is a discussion right now about the size of the deck that will fit in the Vibe. Go to this link: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=5544 As far as the cassette/CD deck goes, maybe they aren't offering it because cassettes are so rarely used anymore. Not sure though.

Thanks for posting all of the searched links Scott. I was just about to do that as well.

As for the size of the Pontiac CD player being bigger compared to others- There are dash kits that will make the Recievers in the store fit the Vibe- It may not look as nice though
