So I was at a local electronics store and they had a really slick looking DVD touch screen receiver, AND it was illuminated in Red and had a red themed menu and what not and I thought it would be a great fit in the Trans Am (its a 97 monsoon car btw)

The stereo was on sale for 229, its a Pioneer P2300dvd

Will it fit? is it anygood?

I really liked the look of it, and think it would match.

What I would like is for the receiver to have bluetooth (which will connect with my phone and allow me to use the stereo system as a phone if I get a call), work with my stock steering wheel buttons, have navigation (real GPS not the cell tower triangulation kind)

Any ideas? (keep in mind I dont know jack about stereos)

Thanks a bunch guys

I have a pioneer nav in my 94 ta, all I had to do was cut some of the plastic behind the radio to make it fit. You will have to either buy or make a trim piece for it though. But it should work, I'll post pics when I get back in town

Cool man thanks.

I was figuring i would have to get something to fill in the gaps. We will see. Im just tired of the old looking monsoon, PLUS my cd player doesnt work anymore

I am interested in seeing one installed. Also for GPS on that unit you need to buy another module.

yea I saw that little foot note, everywhere it says GPS GPS, then in the fine print it says GPS capable with a GPS receiver.

good thing those are more readily available now
