That's a double DIN... no idea how you'll fit it in there.

2000s had a single DIN. Maybe that's what he's thinking.

The earlier cars used a single-DIN set-up with separate tuner and CD sections:



Later cars integrated both into the familiar larger double-DIN size:

Did you get it all sorted out?

Yea, installed it over the weekend. Big difference. Went to an audio store today and they said that head unit would work fine.

Yup, sorry I didn't know they later switched to a double. Carry on.

That was from another thread. I just mentioned it in this one rather than bumping up that thread just for it.

Posting on a ridiculously old thread but I can't find any other talk about this same problem anywhere else! Do any of you guys know how I can fit a double din head unit into my 99? I've already done some modding to the dash and bezel but I'm still not sure I'll be able to make it fit

Not without some significant modification. Can you post a pic of what you've done?

I'm just worried about there being a lack of a support bar underneath where the unit will be like there is on the 02-04 mustangs
