Double din stereo install

[GooseN573rd]

I've recently decided to upgrade to a double din stereo instead of a single din flip screen. I didn't do enough research to before pulling the trigger and now know I need to convert the dash and radio cage. This screen is not a flush mount though so it sits out about 2in and my fear shifter will rub it so I got to thinking about a relocation to the lower compartment where my cassette player used to be. I took measurements crutches the numbers and think it's possible but can't find anything online of anyone trying this. If anyone has tried this or know where I could get more info on this relocation plz respond lol

Can you post some pictures?

I have done the double din. There are some products from Maestro, (I think that’s their name) that will make it look factory. Also you will have to do some trimming behind the head unit to put it in the stock location. I can’t access YouTube while at work, but there are some good videos on how to do that.

Your setup maybe entirely different from what I have seen. Throw some pictures in there and I’m sure someone has dealt with it before.

You should get the Metra double din dash bezel so the unit will fit properly. I talked about it in a few of my Youtube videos.

And like Keith said, you'll need to do a little bit of trimming to the subdash behind the unit so that it slides in all the way, but it's not too difficult.
