Saying Hello - new 2003 XL-7 Owner
Hello! My name is Rebecca and bought my low mileage XL-7 in May last year. My main issue at the moment is that apparently no new head unit will fit in the opening, or so several car audio outlets tell me! I wanted to fit a double din unit but after much sucking of air through teeth I've been told it's not possible and neither will a single din fit either. Help!!

Yeah it looks too small for a double din and too big for a single din...

The audio shop I took it to yesterday told me it was too small an opening for a single din too?!

That would only be a single din you might have to get a tray as that look to small for a double din as i have a double mate

Do you have the measurements for the radio mate at all
Re: Saying Hello - new 2003 XL-7 Owner
It's the stock radio that came with the vehicle. I can measure it.

That must be as wide as a standard head unit. Would never get a CD in it otherwise.
