Guest THE OP Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Anyone done it? I think the knob on it would cause issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Not really just gotta get a gm double din radio. hollow out the factory know and glue it in place. Sits in pretty close to the same position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest THE OP Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I will have to think of something to keep it looking factory to the clowns out there trying to get other peoples stuff. I might make something out of mdf and use a bottlecap for a knob to make it look hidden if I need to park in a shitty location. Any other ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigred024 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 just throw a shirt over it and the dash when parked in ghetto areas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
texaselement Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Buy a cheap OEM radio off eBay or something, take it apart, & glue the buttons in place. I mounted my D3 about 1/4" inset from being flush, cause I planned on making a fake decoy. I love it - it gives me peace of mind when out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CLOUSEAU Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 If only we could figure out how to hook up a stun gun up to our unit now! but I guess it would prolly suck to find a dead guy in your car one morning... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bradpaulp Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I mounted my D3 about 1/4" inset from being flush, hey sorry , this is off the topic of security ... how do you get your d3 so flush ? after mine was installed it sticks out about 1/8" inch , but just enough to make me go grrr . Is there any way of getting it more flush . I believe its just the face plate around it ? Any help or directing me somewhere on here would be awesome. ive tried searching already. Thanks. here's a pic of what im talking about . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 You can't beat the stock looking cover as a theft deterrent. QFT. the only way this idea could possibly backfire is if you did such a horrible job others knew it was fake, or if you used a stock unit other than the one used in your car andsome1 noticed that. otherwise...

ctiu002 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 how would you take off the decoy faceplate? Also, if you take it off you would need to reglue it again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
illuxion Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 how would you take off the decoy faceplate? Also, if you take it off you would need to reglue it again? No, once the buttons and LCD are glued in place you just slip it on. I did the same for my 09 Accord. To tkae it off you just pull it off. It just slips on and off. I went to the local boneyard, picked up a deck from an 02 accord(last generation that used 2din), and ripped the face off. I glued the buttons and LCD to the back with 2 ton epoxy, not hot glue as the interior can get warm and I didn't want to chance it. I used some weather stripping from home depot to pad the back and a little bit on the sides so it fit snug in my enclosure without scratching anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
