Default Double Din

I am looking to buy a Kenwood DDX516 off of a buddy. I have done a lot of research and I know you have to cut out the hole and customize the bezel for the HU. I am just not sure if this HU will fit even with modifications to the dash. Does anyone know?

idk about the Kenwood, but I have a double DIN Alpine in mine.

I only spent a little bit of time on mine. I really need to go back and do it better.

I'll see if I can find some pics

You will need to modify the inside of the mounting cage to make room for the bezel to fit
Plus you will need to mod the bezel to make it fit our we have them available for you to order as well

Thanks for the replies. I bought the head unit and got it all installed. Fits like a glove after slight modification. In the process of making the bezel now
