Double or Single Din Radio replacement

[NY87GN]

Gents...
Looking to replace old stocker radio for an upgraded new radio. Crutchfield has been very helpful. I am just a bit confused as to get a single din or double din. I just wanted to see if anyone has gone double din, did it require a lot of retrofitting or was it a pretty easy install.
Thank you in advance for you feedback.

You want a single DIN with the install kit and wiring harness.

Does your stock radio work? I'm looking to replace my aftermarket Sony CD player with a stock radio.

Yes old stocker works well.. just looking to upgrade..

I'd be interested in a straight up swap. I can send pics of my setup now. It's a Sony head unit with CD and an AUX input in the front to hook anything up to.

Let me check the condition of the wiring in the back. It was in the car when I got it

I really appredcite the offer, but I think I would want to keep the stock. Again thanks anyway..

Ok! No prob. FYI I believe our cars can fit 1.5 Din as well. Double Din is too big

double din will take a little cutting on the radio trim plate thats all
