iTurbo Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi, I'm trying to determine if it would be possible to install the Pioneer AppRadio into a '98 Buick Regal GS. I found Scosche makes a double DIN adapter which seems like it would make it possible, but if I look on Crutchfield it says it will not fit the car. Anybody been there and done that?

Z34guy Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Considering how new the appradio is, I don't think anyone's done it. It just came out last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 That looks pretty snazzy. It *should* fit the radio with just a bracket kit, but who knows how it may end up fitting if its longer then the opening, I'd say its worth a try. May have to make some light modifications to the car for it to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTurbo Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Yeah, I really dig the OBDII features. I already have an iPod Touch with DashCommand app installed and the Kiwi Wifi OBD interface so this would be awesomeness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I have a pioneer 3300bt in my regal and the only modifications i had to do was trimming the brace directly behind the radio some. not sure how the app radios dimensions compare but it should be similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTurbo Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 ^^ Thanks! I had actually considered getting the 3300BT model (and may still go that route). Did you even have to use the Scosche double DIN adapter??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 i can't remember if it was scosche or metra but yea i used it. it fits great aside from being a little long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTurbo Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks for the info, feeling pretty good about getting one of these units and installing in the Regal. Although I may just save money and get the new AVH-P2400BT model and be done with it. The reviews of the first gen AppRadio (SPH-DA01) are so-so. There is a new version of it about to come out (SPH-DA100) but it is really expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
