Changing stock radio to after market double din

I have a 1999 Acura 3.2 TL and I want to change my stereo to a pioneer avic D3 or something along those lines.. However whenever I put my car model into online stores it says those particular models will not fit into my car... is that really true or do i need a special dash kit???

I have a 2000 3.2 TL w/ Navi and I'm upgrading my radio as well. I just got the Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD double din and I'm gettin it installed tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes and can send you some pics if you're interested.

Just PM me so I remember.
