I have installed an AVIC D3 in a 2002 Trailblazer. I had to cut the plastic at the back of the opening to get the D3 to fit.

Now I would like to install another D3 in a 2005 Cavalier. Crutchfield says that the D3 won't fit because there in not enough depth to accomodate it. The D3 is deeper than normal radios.

Has anyone installed one in a 2005 Cavalier? Or any 2001 - 2005 Cavalier? If so, what did you have to do to make it fit?

And what harness adapter and chassis adapter did you use?

Everything for the crapilier is the same as the trailblazer. Cutting too.

I take it you are not enamoured with a Cavalier

Thanks for the advice. I will be installing one.

Assuming that goes well, a third one will be installed in a 2007 Cobalt.

We have way too many damn cars.

Definately not. I hate the fact that you ave to take the whole top of the dash out just to replace the radio. Great engineering idea on gm's part.

you obviously haven't seen my cavalier.... this is a great website for cavalier owners www.v6z24.com

No offense there, but it's still a crapilier. You may like it, I never will either. No matter what wheels/body kit are on it.

yeah my g/f had an 03 cavalier. i hated working on it. there is quite a bit to cut out back there.
