yeah they do i have a custom dash kit right now with a floating cage mount. it looks great, but it won't fit double dinn unfortunatly so i'll be selling that. but at least that'll help pay for the transition hopfuly i'll be able to have a buyer at the same time as i buy the new stuff. only real way i can afford it lol

Im sure its not much bigger than my new one is. Mine touches the back but it still mounts perfectly fine. Everything was a tight fit but it works..

I used to own the 5900dvd from pioneer and since it was longer than the Avic-Z110bt, I was forced to hack the plastic divider behind the radio. The Z110BT fitted perfectly, although if you're going to install the MSN adapter (which expires at the end of net year), Ipod adapter, HD radio, XM/Sat radio adapter, etc, then be ready for the indecent amount of cables/wires that you're going to end up with.

i think im going with kenwood. i like pioneers features but kenwood has more out of the gate, better EQ, more voltages on the pre outs and has built in T\A. but its pretty pricy :\
the DNX9960 be what i speak of. its a nice deck, i stil think the avic's have a snappyer interface. but this one is pretty much equivilent to speed.

sonicelectronics has the best price on the dnx9960 that ive seen. make sure you install the new software updates off of kenwoods site. they fix most of the bugs. sonicelectronics has already loaded the updates to the dnx9960 except the most recent one that came out a few months ago (ver 1.5.0) they have (ver 1.4.0) installed on it already.

The Kenwood HU is pricier than the Z110BT/Z120BT and if price is an issue, like it always is with me, then an updated Z110BT becomes a Z120BT for much cheaper than a new one. FFT!

sonic is pretty hit miss on best prices, ive found local dealerships can tend to have the best deals susprisenly. not install dealers, but just gear shops. found my PDX alpine amps from a "local" chain audio store for an 150$ than MSP and much cheaper then sonic's price. i also found my 500$ sub for 250$ on ebay. :P never settle for ticket price

right now, the lowest i found on the DNX9960 is amazon. which can have it had at about 1100$ ish. still not a great deal. i should be able to have this deck at an easy 800$ if im sloothy enough. i might even find it on diymobileaudio.com in a private auction used if i'm lucky :P

I've done a few, they fit fine, you just need to cut the plastic in the back of the stereo opening so it'll clear.

Other than that, all double din and single din receivers should fit fine in the provided space as far as i know.
Yep!

It'll be behind the deck though, so it's a non-issue.

Then it'll fit just fine
