New Stereo & NO cut dash GREAT Option
I don't know if anyone ever did this. I like OEM stuff and I have an AM/FM radio with factory speaker in my Blazer. Even though it sounds ok with the top on, without the top, I can't hear it very well. I don't like aftermarket radios under the dash or even cutting my dash, so I started thinking
![]() Now where can I mount the wired remote? I had mixed feelings cutting my center console but board member, 6t727t2, makes SS center console plates. I recommend him/them, high quality steel and looks good, thank you 6t. I did not want to cut my original SS plate so I cut his and installed the remote in place of the center ash tray in the console. If I ever change my mind I can re-install my plate and ash tray back to original. Check out the pics, I mounted the 6x9 speakers in the middle and the radio sounds great and I even have my iPhone tunes now. I can even add XM radio at a later time if I want. Just another option for anyone. I can now change my stations and the radio is locked in my glovebox and the remote is bolted in the center console ![]()

Re: New Stereo & NO cut dash GREAT Option
Cup holder and more remote pics, I like the sound of it and my factory radio still works. A pic if I ever want to go back to OEM.

Re: New Stereo & NO cut dash GREAT Option
Last one... I recommend the Sony marine radio, I have an amp but I did not have to use it, because without it sounds great!

Re: New Stereo & NO cut dash GREAT Option
BTW the marine quality is very good, UV protection, waterproof, and durable stereo and remote.

Re: New Stereo & NO cut dash GREAT Option
Nice job I have been looking at the marine stuff as my 1987 cd player needs to be replaced soon.

Re: New Stereo & NO cut dash GREAT Option
Thanks, I made some brackets to hold down the radio in the glovebox, no movement and removable faceplate.

Re: New Stereo & NO cut dash GREAT Option
Would like to do something similar. I dont currently have a center console but have thought about makeing one or purchasing a original and was wondering if that set up work the same if radio was mounted in the center console?

Re: New Stereo & NO cut dash GREAT Option
Yes it would work. I thought about putting it in center console but I would have had to lift the lid to change the stations or volume. I wanted something similar to steering wheel stereo controls. I like this remote and it gives me that. You could put it all together in the console, or buy an aftermarket one.
