I have the same Sony in my Trans Am, paid $350.00 from Crutchfield when it first came out. Where did you get it for $250.00, the factory CD player isn't working on my Alero, so I'm looking for a replacement. If I can get the Sony for $250.00 I'll buy it.

Edit to my last post. I meant 350, thanks for making do a double take frank. :thumbsup: my bad

this is what i have in my 2000 alero. its not the greatest brand of HU, but for the price, it is a nice unit.

sorry for the double post, i didnt think the first one went thru.

have a question for you guys? what does "din" mean and how do I know what the alero has and what fits my alero when i'm trying to buy for instance a HU whether it be with flip up screen or etc etc?

The din refers only to the size of the factory radio. There are single din, 1.5 din and double din. The alero has a double din chamber. However, the din sizes do not specify the trim around the radio. Our alero has a double din chamber but the trim is rounded on the corners preventing a double din HU to fit without cutting. The same sort of thing holds true for other vehicles. The 03 ford taurus has a single din chamber but the radio has a plastic mold attaching it to the climate control.
You will be able to place a single din or din and a half in the alero with little moding. The only thing you may have to do is cut out a plastic brace in the rear of the radio (to add more depth).
