Is it possible to replace the stock radio with a double DIN screen?

Hello, I recently bought a 07 TL type-S w/Nav and there's a concept that I like but no one really has solidify if it's possible or not. I want to replace the stock radio and install a double din (screen) in place of it. Is this possible? Thank you.

As said, yes, no problem.

I also stumbled upon this the other day, it's an actual replacement for the whole display and radio. Wonder if it actually works well.

It's a Chinese product for sure, and there seems to be a few different one. Not cheap though (I mean the price), but might be worth looking into.

Well, at least we're getting some feedback of it.

This short video shows some lag, especially when changing fan speed. Is it possible to return it? Because I wouldn't bet $500 for the system that might not work properly and reliably.

Probably you can return it - check shipping cost to china first.


Take a look at ali offer.
The main photo says 'RAM 2G ROM Momery 16GB'
When you go down to description, it is 'RAM 1G DDR3 | ROM Momery 16GB'
I am a big fan of buying staff on Ali but I avoid offers with such misinformation. And to be honest, the most expensive purchase was my phone, but when it comes to car parts i buy gadgets up to 10$ 🙂.

Yeah, shipping stuff back to China costs quite a bit more than shipping from there. And I speak from experience.

I'm with you when it comes to buying small things from them though, best place around for that.

And why ROM? ROM is read only memory - so I guess you could name that system partition in the tablet, or where bootloader sits, but nothing more.
That thing is huge gamble, but if somebody decides to buy it, keep us updated!
