It looks nice but for that price? I'd be surprised if the quality was suitable for a doorstop....
I have an Apple Carplay Alpine unit in mine, cost a lot but fitted perfectly and works perfectly.
It goes like this. Lift the front of your gear lever surround trim, it's held at the front by two clips. Undo the two hidden screws. Now you can pull the stereo surround trim out which is held by four clips. BE CAREFUL!
Now you see your stereo is held by six screws holding the unit in. Once free pull out and detach the wiring connector and aerial.
Now measure the width and height of the unit. That will be double DIN. Any replacement you get will need to be this size. You will be removing the front bezel and using the two side frames on any replacement unit too.
Wiring will be with an adapter loom. Never cut into the original if you can help it. Buy a Halfords adapter and hack that.
