AFAIK all double din size head units will fit with minor trimming to the top and bottom of the dash opening (areas not seen after installation) I'm running a Pioneer Avic F700BT.

You have to trim down the little lips that are inside of the radio opening to get a double din unit to fit. You leave the sides because that is what holds the radio in place.

Look up Enron on ebay. thats what i have. i got the GPS-less model. but i herd the one with GPS is really good. if u really want to spend alot of money go to kenwood or pioneer. i would do an ebay search. that is that best place to find good deals.
