Help!!

[my72vette454]

I redid my dash in the vette and where I wanted to mount the radio ended up being too shallow for it. Is there a way to take a removeable faceplate and mount it to the dash and wire it back to the deck which might end up being mounted behind the seats? I have about 4 inches of depth to work with is all and the deck I have needs about 7 inches. Does anybody make a controller that could go on the dash and then I could use a multi disc cd changer to go with it? Trying to think of other options...

secretaudio.com or theres a guy on this site everynow and then who makes the radios like your talking about, were the face plate has a cord attaching it to the base that is located elsewere. I believe its joesradio??

panasonic used to do one thats on a stick or run by cable that uses the radio signal to transmit to disc changer so you could
put a cheap radio any where .

I seen on the net were a guy took a computer cable (ribbin type) and soldered the ends of the cable to the face plate and unit. He mounted the face plate in the sun visor. I don't see why you couldn't do something similar with mounting the face plate in the dash.

Don't you just love those c3 cars. I have been there done that too. The one I have now has the original radio in it which is a pos but I just hate the thought of fighting that dashpanel and that tight fit. Not enough room for an old fat man's fat fingers-lol
Good Luck

Here is a pic of the new dash I am building...still got some tweeking to do but its getting there. O and I am in the process of changing interior colors too. I have just enough room between the bottom of the guage panel and on the shifter panel in front on the plate on it to put a radio faceplate in but even mounting it above the rearview mirror might work good too. That would save me hacking up the new shift console too. Thanks for the ideas...keep em coming.
