here's one from crutchfield, i'm sure it can be found elsewhere for cheaper.

I'm using the one in the Crutchfield link above. It's a Metra kit so the fit is pretty good. Pretty much any installation shop should carry that along with the wire harness. It's pretty easy to install yourself too.

If I had to complain about something, I'd say the LCD cover "horn" looking piece doesn't fit as good as I'd like and the plastic isn't textured like the rest of the kit, but it's fine.

Thats not a dbl DIN kit, but with some creativity it can be

BrianG, you say the LCD cover does not match the texture of the kit, but how does the kit texture match with the OEM dash? (compared to the OEM radio texture)

thanks.

Since the OEM radio is basic textured black, it looks about the same. I like the added pocket though - makes a nice place to install the knob for my PG BassCube without messing with the interior.

I'm using the single din kit and really don't think a single din looks good in the 3, plus the top pocket to cover up the lcd fits bad. The center dash is so plain without the stock stereo. I want to get a double din kit to make the dash look more filled in, but haven't seen one. I guess a few cuts in the single din kit would work, but would hate to cut it up and try to put a double din in and find out it fits bad.
