Unit Fit

Can i convert my 2004 grand am stereo housing to fit a smaller unit?

i want to put in a new stereo for my grand am and i took the old one out. its pretty big. and it required a large hole in the front dash panel thingy. and i bought a new stereo receiver, a dual XDM6820. the new one is about half as large as the old one and i have looked and looked for a way to attatch it to the slot my old stereo was and i dont know if it can go in there. any body done anything like this?

Your factory stereo was a "Double DIN" or "DIN and a half" sized head unit. Your new one is a "single DIN", or just DIN size head unit. If you go to Walmart and look for a conversion kit for your year, make, and model your new head unit should fit in your dash like it was installed at the factory. They also sell a wire harness adapter that you splice into the new head unit that will just plug into the factory plug in the car so you won't have to splice the wires directly into the factory wiring. This retains the factory wiring in case you sell the car and want to re-install the original head unit. Good luck.
