I've got a Fusion SEL with Audiophile, and I've got the itch to add some video. I'd like to get a double din sized dvd player/lcd screen, but according to every online site, there aren't any models that will fit. So, I'd like to know the dimensions of the stock radio so I can compare before I buy something I can't return. I'm planning to get a Jenson model, since its in my price range, and I like the one my friend has, plus it matches the black int/blue ext.

I have the Jensen 9021ts and it fits perfectly. The installer tried telling me that a dash kit didn't exist for it yet, but after speaking to another installer, we used one from a F-150 and it worked perfectly.
I get lots of compliments on it. The most common exclamation is "Wow, it looks like it was MEANT to be there."
Good Luck!

VERY nice! A few questions though, if you don't mind, because I wanna do the same thing with my car.
-What's the quality on the Jenson's like?
-Is that touchscreen?
-Does your steering wheel audio controls work with it?
-If yoou have the 6 Disc In-Dash changer, is there a way to make it work with a system like what you have?

-Quality is excellent, and you get alot of bonuses that you have to pay extra for with other brands, such as Ipod hookup, XM hookup, TV tuner. It plays pretty much everything you can think of in terms of media, from DIVX AVI to VCD to whatever you can burn. Haven't had a burned CD or DVD that it wouldn't play yet.
-Yup, touchscreen controls everything, comes with 2 remotes as well.
-Steering wheel controls won't work unless you get an IR adapter that you have to wire into the steering column. Too much work for me on the lease, so I live without it.
-This replaces the stock radio, so no, you can't use both.

This kit http://www.crutchfield.com/S-CPPiZyfr5NW/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=120995807&s=0&cc=01 says that to fit a double din reciever all you need to do is cut out the center piece on the kit

Took the DIP and got the Jensen $524.00 + $20.00 shipping. :klavergreg:
Did you install the TV Tuner? if so, where did you install the antenna ?
For the cash. You cannot go wrong with this head unit......

TV tuner antenna is in the front passenger corner of the windsheild, one antenna across the bottom, one up the A pillar. Wanted to put it in the rear window, but the damn wire is too short to reach.

Ok, so the crutchfield kit says it works, however what do you actually mount the double din DVD player too? I've taken my 6 disc MP3/CD player out and did not notice anywhere to mount the thing.
Also, there is that little spot in the back where there was that bubble that inserts into the slot... My double din dvd did not come with that tab to insert into the hole...
