Thread: Double DIN and Single DIN dash.

The radio (the top bit) looks like a double din. The bottom, which looks like A/C controls looks like a single din.

here is some more info on DIN slots. link

It shouldn't be that hard to fit yourself. I am not sure if your car has a propriatary audio system that may make it a little more difficult. Someone with the same car as you may be able to shed some more light.

Ok thank you for the help. I am going to get a double DIn

i have a double din dash but i was wondering if i could install a single din instead? What would i need to do that.

You'll need a metra or other type conversion kit.

I would like to install it by myself too. Would i be able to do that with the conversion kit?

Oh yea, they're fairly easy to install. If you go to http://www.metraonline.com/fit.aspx you can input your vehicle information and you can view the instructions.

More often than not, taking the dash apart is the hardest part.

So i can fit a single din dash in my double din slot is what this means? Will it still look good?
thanks for all the input btw

I installed one in my wife's car last year, it looks fine.

Here's an example install:


That's in an 05' Xterra.

i think 2-din will fit, but if you would like to install 1-din, you need a mounting kit.
