Need to know If I can Replace this

Question

http://coolcrossovers.com/car/47252141-7.html
Ignore the car just look at the radio and all that, I need to know if this can be replaced without making my car look trashy, for example if it is replaced will it leave a gaping hole in my dash because of its irregular size?

Answer 1

That can definitely be replaced.  Whether it looks trashy or not is pretty much in he eye of the beholder.  Replacing it would require this dash kit and it can be either a double din or a single din unit.  I have had clients that have gone with a double din unit before just because it fills more of the space and "looks better" in the dash.  Either way you go, there won't be any gaps when using the dash kit because it fills the exact space that the factory radio occupied.  That kit is typically not stocked in store at all so you would want to order it ahead of time.  You would also require a wire harness to replace the stereo and there are two possibilities: NON JBL and JBL.  Both of those parts are typically stocked in store and which one you need is determined by the vehicle itself.  Usually if the JBL system is present it will say JBL right on the face of your factory radio.  A good idea would be to call your local store to determine if they have those harnesses or if you would need to order them as well.
