Why not get a pop out single din touch screen and not that garbage?

Too expensive and I’m on a budget that’s why I was wondering if that one would fit honestly

Get a nice USED single-DIN headunit like an older model Alpine and be done with. It will fit fine. Make sure to get a radio wiring harness as well. They can be had for under $10.

Upgrade to a double DIN. The opening of your car is that size. If you want navigation and other nice features, it won't be $65. lol

You can get a Jensen double din touch screen BT HU like $72 on Amazon. Add nav/back up camera for a bit more.

If $60 is top of your budget you should probably rethink modifications right now.

Convert to 99/00 climate control or

Remove the dash pocket in the lower console and put it behind the cupholders.

Get a single din flip out 7" screen.

With your limited budget, most likely.

I would think so. I have managed to fit all kinds of things behind the radio, so I think you are ok.

You are going to need to make a bracket to get it to fit, but size wise it looks like it will fit. But it's an odd single din because it's in the middle. So, you will need to make a bracket to fit it in there and be stable.
So, yes it should. My personal belief is to pick a different stereo because it's so odd, but hey if you like it, just make the bracket.
