Metra??

This might be sounds stupid asking about metra,
What does metra use for? I know its a dash kit but it seems that there's a difference about the size or something..

as long as you have an 04 to 08 model then the kit is used to replace the factory radio

If i remember correctly they had a single and double din version, is that what you meant by sizes?

Single DIN is 2"x7". Double DIN is 4"x7". If you have something narrower, check the radio or the Metra site to make sure there are rails and a face plate to make it work.

I think it would be pretty hard to find a new radio that did not conform to DIN size. But check the depth, since that's not standard.
