on May 15th, 2009 and filed under I am looking for an aftermarket deck for my pontiac grand am 1999. I need some form of ipod connection or preferrably USB for my ipod, zune, or an external hard drive.
My friend says my “bin”? is not a normal size, it is like 1.5 size or something?
also, it would be nice if the steering wheel controls worked with the new deck.

sometimes with a aftermarket deck you loose the functionality of the wheel controls. is din not bin btw. you can get anything you want to get, you just need the install kit, and that will turn the extra space you have into either a flat piece of plastic to cover the gap ot into a little slot for cds or something.
good luck, just hit up best buy or something
Check out. They can tell you what would be the best fit.
For sure regardless of what kind of after market stereo you install you re going to loose that great feature of being able to control your stereo by the steering wheel. Only way to keep that feature is to custom order from the dealership a new stereo but its really expensive. In fact the stereo that comes in most cars cost at least 800.00 , yours bec its the steering wheel feature is 2,000 or more . I had a car with that same feature and simply decided to just leave the old stereo in it. Almost any after market stereo would fit the car and you usually need to buy a universal mounting kit.
