Got a ZR1 this weekend. Now I got Q's!
Hey guys. Just picked up my first ZR1 this weekend. Traded titles for my 69 Z-28. Everybody's happy.
Now I got some questions on how I can make the ZR1 "just right" for me & the wife. I hear this is the best place to get answers. 1. CHMSL doesn't work. I picked up some bulbs at the local parts store and apparently the bulbs weren't the issue. Checked fuses, all appear good. Regular stop lights work fine. Any ideas where I should start? 2. Previous owner put in an Alpine stereo. I'm not a fan. Wife likes the look of a Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD with Nav. I'm concerned it's a 2 DIN unit and won't fit. I'm not crazy about cutting up the dash. I wonder what recommendations there are? 3. Should the car have a factory keyless entry? One of my Corvette buddies says yes, absolutely. Another one says no, it's too old. I didn't get any key-fobs with the car. You'll hear more from me I know. But those kind of get me started for now. I'd love to hear from you! Last edited by GTOger; 11-14-2010 at 09:00 PM.

99% chance the brake light is the switch. CHMSL has its own switch at the pedal.
PKE started with 1993. The earlier cars just have keys.

Looks like the OP has a 1990. No PKE, as Bob mentioned, until 93.
A double DIN radio will fit in the factory opening. |

Yes a Double Din radio will fit!
 You do have to take out the shroud behind the stock radio and "trim" around the radio bezel. GoldCylon has a great post on it  David |

I have a double din Pioneer and didn't have to shave the bezel at all. I did have to cut the plastic bracket behind the head unit because the new HU sits deeper in the space than the Delco. I love having the DVD and Nav, it really makes the Bose speakers sound great.

90-92 didn't have keyless entry. you're also very lucky to be so close to corry henderson if you ever need work done. http://www.hendersonperformance.com/ While it still maybe 5 hrs it's still a lot closer then most of us are to one of the best tuners in the country.
