moparvwfreak Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 put it in the glove box, console or underdash tray. if the 720s have ones like the 620s do. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Center console from a 620 with the stereo will keep you from cutting your dash up. Quote Link to comment

Lee R Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 mine fit but it was tight ;) Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I put mine in the console. My console was already cut up. I left the non-op factory radio in place. Of course that would mean getting a console and the floor brackets for it if you don't have one. Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I believe I just shaved the sides of the hole to fit the stereo...nothing major Looks like I have to shim it up a bit though Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Here's my old 620. Had to trim that open box a bit. Don't know what was there previously. The dash came with a jagged hole in it. Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Here's my old 620. Had to trim that open box a bit. Don't know what was there previously. The dash came with a jagged hole in it. That's a funky lookin 620. I hacked up my center console and put it in there. Only cause it had chunks missing where it mounted. Quote Link to comment
