I have a 2000 Dodge Stratus SE.

The application guide on this forum (life saver!) only shows single DIN options, but I'm wondering what is required to modify the dash to put in a double DIN bay?

I've just recently found the joy of modding my vehicle. I don't have a lot of experience or cash, but do have a repair manual :)

Anything is possible with time.

You just need to make sure you have enough space to make a double din fit - ie there are no ducts/wire harnesses/circuit boards/relays/framework/etc that can't easily be moved in the area you want to install the deck. Typically, in a dash space is tight so creating more space is not worth the hassle.

My goal was to put in a double DIN nav system, but I guess I'll just stick with single. There is enough space, but I do not know how to modify the medal framework.

Thanks for the reply!
