I'm looking to replace my factory stereo with an aftermarket Pioneer. The demensions of the new stereo are:
Depth 6.5 in.
Height 2 in.
Width 7 in.

Since I don't have a navigation system I'd like to mount it where that would go. It looks like all the dimensions look like it would fit. But I'm not sure of the depth. I know I'll need to cut out the inside of the compartment but if I do will there be enough clearance.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,
Joe

 

But it would face the roof of the car.

 

you are going to remove the factory unit and put in a dbl din kit for your stereo right?

 

yeah, I was going to replace my factory radio with an aftermarket stereo but I didn't want to spend $200 for a dashboard kit. I was hoping to leave the factory radio in it's place and install the aftermarket stereo where the nav would go.

 

i saw someone do that and it looked friggin nasty...keep it clean and do the dd conversion...

 

Not the best pic but I did a quick search.
