[QUOTE="Kai Winters, post: 8583713, member: 574994"] If you want a touchscreen device the double dins are quite nice. A double din will/should fit your vehicle but there is more to it. Go to any vehicle stereo site and you will learn a lot. Most will show you what exactly will fit your vehicle. Single or double din refers to the physical size of the head unit...any site will show and describe a variety of head units. While replacing the oem stereo with an after market model will give you cleaner sound...generally...depends on what you buy...some are awful. You will not get a lot of power meaning bass/sub bass will be minimal at best because the head unit just does not provide enough power. You will certainly have to work with the wiring...generally you can buy wiring harnesses and connectors that will connect from the existing connectors and to the new head unit. But depending on how your vehicle's infotainment system is also used for steering wheel controls, display controls, etc. you may lose one or more functions or perhaps none...it all depends. Many people don't bother with rear speakers or just use them for fill. Instead the fronts are the primaries. Again it depends on what you want...it is your car after all. I suggest you check out some of the websites, plug in your vehicle information and see what is available and then have a budget. You can usually start out with a quite nice basic system consisting of a single din head unit, front speakers, various connectors, dash kit, harnesses, etc. for under $500 that will sound quite nice at moderate volumes. It will also be a good start should you decide to add an amp to provide more power to the fronts and have the capability to add a subwoofer for some good bass. Good luck and keep us informed.
