hey i am trying to install my friends head unit in his 95 riv and was wondering if anyone knew how to. also how do i install the front speakers?

This is from the website in my sig http://www.carstereohelp.com/stereoremovalBuickRiviera1FSpkR.htm

hey thanks everyone. i am not a riv owner i own a taurus sho but this seems to be a lot more helpful for my friend then with my forum.

Yep, works for me now.

for christmas im looking to buy a new deck, it has to be a touch screen with DVD, so im looking at some cheap decks, i found one that i like

but will they work with our "sunshade dash"

i love the look and it has everthing i want, but since the screen is motorized i dont want it to hit the top of the dash

please help me out

More than likely you're gonna have to have the unit mounted sticking out of the radio slot...so the screen will clear the dash....which IMO ruins the look, hence why i havent done this. I've seen some Riv's for sale and on cardomain with aftermaket decks and with a DVD it always looks bad, cause it sticks out.

maybe you could put it where the cd holder is? I've taken mine out, still trying to think of what to put there.. i've been working on piece of hobby wood with the Riviera in cursive carved into it, and I want to put a peice of clear plastic behind it then do some LED backlightning.. i think the screen would look nice there

i dont have a Cd holder yet i have bench seat

oh yeah.. much different interior.. what about that open spot under your cigg. lighter tray

Looking to install and aftermarket head unit and was wondering if anyone has used the Scosche GM1583B kit or something similar. How did it fit, look, etc. Thanks

i dont think that kit will work b/c of the shelf. you need a lot of room for the wire harness.
my kit fits well, but i dont know what the part # is. just a gm kit for buicks with a block off plat on the bottom half. the rivs head unit depth is very shallow so you may have a problem fitting the dash back over the new unit, or you can cut away some of the plastic at the rear of the deck.
are you getting a PAC SWI-x too?

i havent used one on the riv but i had one on my stratus coupe, and it was a great fit
