Upgrading Radio Receiver - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I'd put this in the audio forum but as far as I know I have a potential problem that's unique to Camry's. Just bought a 93 SE (first car, I'm pretty psyched, but obviously I don't know too much about cars...yet) and I'm looking to upgrade the receiver. Problem is that the current radio is a double size, all in one piece. Install Dr. and the other sites have a two-piece original system, so I'm wondering if there would be additional problems trying to put a modern receiver in, other than trying to find something to fill the gap. If I'm doing a bad job describing then here's a pic:

As you can see it's just one big unit. Suggestions?

The single-space radio has a little coinbox under it; you can grab one of those from a junk yard, ebay, or maybe off of someone else on TN

Welcome to the boards, btw

I'd be willing to pull my two-piece cassette/radio/coinbox set off, and trade it+cash for yours.

I'll PM you if you're interested.

Either get the coin box, or a piece of trim to put there....or for the ultimate solution. Double-DIN Touch Screen Nav system

Haha not quite willing to put that much money in her just yet. And thanks for the offer but it turns out my mechanic has another Camry he said he can pull one from. Thanks for the info guys.
