You will have to cut out a little bit of you dash for a double din its not much you have to trim just a little bit!! Had to do that in a buddies for his alpine double din!!

Will most stereo shops do that trimming?

A stereo shop very well might, I know chain places like CCity and Best Buy will probbbbabblyy say it won't fit and not install it for you. If you go out and talk to the installers first though they'll usually do it for ya. Although that is if the trimming is involving the front bezel piece area..if it's just that rear radio support that has to be modified, I'm sure they'll do it.

you have a din and a half radio. with the factory pocket under the radio, you would have to come up woth a mounting solution for the top and the bottom and you would lose the pocket for sure. it can be done. Ive done it.
