All head units need the same basic things, power and output....If your car uses the DIN standard, it'll be easy to put in. If not, you can probably find an adaptor easy enough...Also, keep in mind that a lot of cars in America are ricers and our head units go in them easy enough (meaning without a dremel)

I think you need a model that has European tuning. "European tuning - The European tuning interval of .05 kHz is different from the US tuning interval of .2 kHz. If a receiver also has European tuning, it is compatible with the European scale and can be used in many countries overseas."
