single or double din?

2001 cl-s - can somebody tell me if the radio is single or double din?? I like the FH-P8000BT (double din) but im not sure if it will fit, i plan on buying it online somewhere and taking it to bestbuy or circuit city to install. Is there a kit or something i can buy with it to make it fit? if not anybody have any advise on a radio? not looking to spend more then 250ish, only requirement is USB. Thanks

believe me i searched like crazy - i actually found stuff saying double din wouldnt fit, there were no kits that work with it, somebody said they used a dremmel to make something fit, but these posts are from years ago. Also according to bestbuy's website and pioneer website, the model im looking at does not fit in the car - and it looks like only single din's will fit http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...Video/FitGuide

I typed 'double din' into search and got 11 pages of results. Just sayin' helps things stay less cluttered.

Check out this kit made by one of our Azine vendors. Also look into buying the harness he makes as well.

I wouldn't recommend Bestbuy or Circuit City installing your stuff. I've heard from member on here that they mess up some of the things in the dash, and a few years ago CC didn't wire something correctly in my bothers car.

You can fit double or single din. Do NOT take it to BB or CC. Take it to a place that knows car audio. You can buy the metra kit for around $20, but it's the only kit and only fits single din. You can mod it to fit double din though. If you're only going $250, sounds like you are sticking with single din.
