    You will need to go smaller unless you've swapped in a 01-02 interior, even then I think there's some modification needed to get a double din radio to mount properly.

    A double-din fits with the 01/02 radio/hvac bezel, but some dremeling on the bezel is still required. I'm pretty sure some thread have been posted up detailing what needs to be done.

    I was in your spot back in February and came around asking. I installed mine due to the great information and advice found on these forums.

    Here is my thread in this matter:

    Pro Installers, need help installing JVC KW-NT3HDT

    My head unit didn't fit even after being able to make it past my bezel due to a small "U" shaped guide bracket for the stock unit. I ended up dremmeling the two rivets holding it to the dash off and it fit perfectly. Read up before you act.
