Any DIN size install kit & harness will mount up a head unit w/o cutting anything up.

My old Alpine had to have the duct work @ the back cut. Was a bit too long. W/ the a/c on, it cooled the radio real fast in the heat of the summer

Alot of the DVD screen ones I looked at were deep.

Their definitely can be depth mounting issues. I had some issues wih CD player in my Syclone hitting the ducting as well.

i used a single din install kit that actually pulled the radio outwards about an inch and a half. The reason i did that was so i wouldnt cut anything, which it worked out great but i would of loved a smooth flush look.

DIN is standard height radio, our stock radios are 1.5 DIN

Sorry i meant a single din radio install kit. In the kit was a variety of plastic frames and i ended up using the one that pulled the radio farthest out.

Mom always said, "don't play ball in the house!"

At least this mod is easily reversible.

Im not cutting any wires or anything. I bought the harness were it plugs into the factory harness. No biggie. Radio in it sucks. Stock one with tape player.

Why a dvd? You cant watch movies when you drive anyways..... just put a simple Kenwood in it and be done.

x3 they sell those at Walmart for very cheap. I would have gone with Eclipse, Pioneer, Alpine, or even Kenwood if you were looking for something "quality".

its not legal. can't have a motion picture in view of the driver. they're made to have a safety switch that is supposed to be connected to the switch of the parking brake. but it's just a ground switch, so it's easily bypassed.
