Smile To DIN or DOUBLE DIN...That is the question

I'm looking to upgrade my sound system and have been tossing around some ideas. Looking at my 850 i just so happen to have the perfect size opening for a double din radio.

This gives me limitless possibilities. :twisted:

As we all know, the major downside to a double din in the 850 is once its done...it's done.
This doesn't bother me too much seeing as this is a 13 year old car and i'll more than likely be the last owner (maybe donate to a family member).

How many of you guys have done the DD swap and what has your overall impression be?

With that being said would you guys mind posting up pics of DD installs.

Tnx

I think the double din looks really clean in the car from pictures I've seen with them in, the only problem for me, and I guess depending on where you live, is that you cannot remove the faceplate from a dd. With the single din touch screen units, the face plates are still removable and the screens are usually about 1" larger.
