I decided to go with local instead of buying off the web. So went to Canadian Tire and picked up this CD radio for $159+tax. I have 30 days to test it out.
The original radio slot in the gauge panel wasn’t the right shape for a newer style single DIN radio. I used dremel tool with a small grinding wheel and a couple of files to cut away to excess plastic. Just enough to squeeze in the radio mounting bracket without distorting it. I kept the lower straight edge from the original hole and took the extra from the top. The radio is a tad longer than the original so I wanted it as high a possible as it is a tight fit between the back of the radio and transmission hump.
Fits nicely in the gauge panel. I’ll test it out before doing the final install.
Next: time to remove the dash.
