Where can I find a double din kit or how do I install a double din aftermarket stereo in my 2001 MS XLS??

Thanks

You should be able to purchase a install kit from any car audio supplier they will also have the correct wiring adaptor for your vehicle. as for installing you will need to remove the center bezel trim which surrounds the radio, to do this us a plastic trim remover tool similar to this

here is one site which offers the dash kit

not sure if the second one is for double din it looks like it will work.

also you will need the wiring you can find those on ebay all daylong for cheap

hope this helps.

Thank you so much for the reply, what I am trying to do is mount a 7 inch dvd player into this space, size wise it seems right I just dont know about mounting it. All these kist seem to have like a seperator between the 2. Any idea if this would work?

Thanks

when I pulled my radio console out, there are side brackets, 2 screws for the bottom compartment and 4 screws for the radio. you shouldn't need a dash kit if you have the factory stereo still in it. upload a pic of your radio as it is now, I can upload the pics of the brackets. I took my stereo out last night due to my insurance rendering my tero totaled. all you have to do is use the same screws/bolts and bolt it to your dbl din dvd receiver and slide it back into place. Best buy carries the wiring harness. it's very simple and if your receiver doesn't have front and back rca jacks (if you're going to amplify your door speakers, if you haven't done so yet) walmart sells a line output to rca converter, which I used on my stereo. took a few hours to remove all my equipment LOL 4 subs, 3 amps, 4- 6.5"s, 4 tweeters, 4 crossovers, deck, a dozen neons, 200 or so feet of cables under the carpet, aftermarket alarm, 3 dry-cell batteries, just to name a few. I'm gonna miss her.

t's true, the hole in the dash is Double Din and the bracket that holds the 1-DIN radio in there is really a double din bracket. the lower half of the the bracket is holding the little storage compartment. the big double din radio just slides right in.

thanks LoT, I wasn't able to take pictures as they decided to haul off my Tero 30mins after I got to work, I'm gonna miss her. Now I'm stuck without a vehicle, this sucks.
