Who has a double dinn in their cougar?

[CheeseEater88]

Basically, I need to know if I am getting wrong information.


the 2002 cougar has a double dinn slot, capable of fitting an aftermarket double dinn head unit without modificaiton?


My buddy, and Circuit City say nay (but they could be wrong)

I just want to know what people have done, I really want a double dinn HU just to have more of that factory look too it.

Can it be done?

and sorry if this already in someother thread I "searched" the words 'double' then 'dinn' also I want to verify, I have two credible sourses telling me two different things.

here is a din bezel for sale.

i work at circuit city and got the work done there it can happen just takes time trust me

[LostRacer]

the modification is done on the backside of the bezel. A bit of cutting. Nothing noticeable from the front.

So I don't have to buy your bezel I take it... I was just so damned confused.

I work at Circuit City as well btw, PFT none of that Road shop shanagins.
I looked at Metra's site, and asked our installer... (I showed him the HU not the bezel)
but if you say it can be cut to fit... I might do that.... well as long as the stereo I put in there stays in there....

Also... what do you guys think of this HU

Newegg.com - BOSS AUDIO in-dash double-din dvd/mp3/cd am/fm receiver Model BV9055
I know almost nothing about Boss...

and what are the odds of it playing WMA dvds?
I am happy enough that it has a USB and a 3.5mm jack.


any other suggestions preferbly below the $300 mark... $400 maybe if its uber awesome...

I cannot have any motorized parts for fear that I may punch them whilst shifting... my knuckles come very close to hitting my current one. and I want to look pretty darn plan... no chrome.
Just something that may look like I bought the car with it.

edit: I found this as well, I can only say that its a little bit more than the Boss...

Depends on the headunit, but I have DD, but some HU have really square corners of the face and won't fit without a little work, I have a kenwood DDX-7015(they've moved on from this number, but they still probably fit.)

[cougar22]

get the jvc on ur discount......its around that price..

secondly i work in mobile and HE soo its all good....tell ur installers not to be lazy there should be a long flat metal rod looking thing with holes i could take a pic of them at work tommorow thats what we used in mine and then screwed one side to the HU and the thing dosent move at all.....and its extremly hard to steal

Like Eric I have the Kenwood DDX7045 in my Cougar. (7015) In your country. Don't know current model number. It's a 6.5inch screen. Fits in stock position.
