Looking for aftermarket HU that fits perfectly in dash
I think the Bose head unit I have is pretty weak; I'd like to change the whole stereo system, but I want the HU to fit the dimensions of the space without adapting it. It seems like every HU I see is long and thin, and there would be extra space on the top and bottom when installed. :? If anyone knows any manufacturers who make what I'm looking for, I'd really appreciate the info.
...and if anyone knows the exact measurements I'm looking for (and any other important info when buying a new HU), or how to find that out, that would be great too...

Thanks...now I wonder if I can find one that plays MP3 format. The XM capability is cool though; I definately want to hook that up someday.
Any other companies that make them that you know of?

I've tried, but I don't really know what I'm looking for...do I just look for "oversized", or are there certain dimensions I have to look for? And a while ago someone mentioned that there are different "plugs", and that you have to have the right one...how do I know?

the deck style you are looking for is called a "double din" .. not a lot of companies make them.. so far pioneer is about the only company that i have seen.....

Double Din
1.5 Din
single Din
Pioneer headunits are nice. I've never had any problems with them and they are fairly cheap and have a lot of features on them.
