I was looking at radios for my Intrigue, and noticed that their application guide was not correct...

Hi,
I was looking at the JVC KW-XC410 for my 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue GLS. My specific question is not about the JVC radio, but your web site application guide. When I enter my car info into the site, it says Double DIN size units do not fit, yet my car comes stock with a double DIN unit. Scosche makes mounting tabs to mount an aftermarket double DIN unit in my car, GM1590B is the part number. This is the OEM radio that comes in my 99 Intrigue: http://www.mnrelectronics.com/par09olamfmc.html
As you can see, it is double DIN. If you could recheck your resources and maybe correct the error.
I know a lot of people use your site to see what will fit in their car, this would only deter them from buying a unit that actually fits in their dash.
The Scosche double DIN kit fits in all Intrigues, 98-03. I also checked Alero...it also shows Double DIN does fit....
I am referring to this PDF file for what cars use Double DIN (I know from personal experience that Alero and Intrigue are double din):
http://www.scosche.com/media/Double_Din_Kit_App.pdf

Thanks for reading,
Brandon


Will update when they reply...

Basically, don't trust Crutchfield as an application guide, a lot of times they aren't correct...I think they have Monkeys that type the info into the database. :lol:

For a fairly reliable source, go to http://scosche-cars.com/
For wiring, go to http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/veh ... e=Vehicles

I think you need to register to their forums in order to view the wiring info (colors, speaker sizes, location [alarm install]).

I would be glad to help with your question about installing a Double-DIN receiver in your Intrigue. The reason our website doesn't list a Double-DIN receiver for your Intrigue is because a Double-DIN receiver isn't a direct fit, and we don't carry the necessary installation kit that is needed to mount a Double-DIN receiver. While the Scosche kit that you listed may very well work perfectly, since we don't offer it, we have no way to confirm compatibility. Our website will only list a certain radio as fitting a certain vehicle if it either fits perfectly, or we have the necessary mounting kit available to properly install the new receiver. I hope that helps.


I guess that is an honest answer...they don't sell the kit, so they say it doesn't fit... :lol:

Interesting brando. Maybe, just maybe they should start carrying the scosche kit, or at the very least, a kit of another brand. I imagine you are not the only one who looked up a 99 intrigue on crutchfield.
