I don't think double DIN's fit in these dashes without cutting them apart.

Here's a how to. I put a double din in mine, and yes there is alot of work involved.
I didn't use a kit for mine. It took up every inch of space as it was.

Its easy to install a double din just gotta do a bit of cutting in the back of the dash so your deck will sit in far enough. I used a dremel for mine.

I put a pioneer Z2 in mine, very easy to do, a dremel comes in handy.
