You have to cut, pop out message center, remove a bracket.

Easy install, I put in a Avic.

Pop out h/u
Use a razor blade to trim the top dash part.
I used a 9" extension and removed the bracket in back and ziptied the big module to a post.
You can use http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7638_Metra-95-5026.html as a dash kit but it will require a little trimming(easy).

I never did any of the bracket or center removing.

Took a Dremmel and shaved a couple mm off the top of the inner opening, shaved a couple mm off the bottom and slid the deck in using tiny l brackets attached to the ISO din holes and bolted in place.

I have also shaved the couple mm off the top and bottom and a hair off the sides and used a DD cage.

I have also shaved a little less and pressure set the deck in there.
