    Ive looked all over online and had an installer at Best Buy search to see if an '04 Prius is considered a double DIN by removing the CD player/pocket. but everything has just said its "over sized"...

    Anyone know? Im trying to see if a Pioneer D3 will fit in there.

    Thanks,

    The pocket underneath the stock stereo is Single DIN. On Crutchfield, they sell the Prius Dash-kit and that is only Single. With some fiberglass fabrication, I'm sure a Double DIN would fit.

    but by removing the cd player AND the pocket does that make it a double DIN (sorry I'm a techie at heart but a noob to cars)

    If you were to remove the current head unit, there is plenty of room.

    I just found THIS PAGE and it shows a single din with room to spare. Oversized means 1.5 maybe? if you include the lower cabinet, it's almost a tripple.. if that exist...
