Crutchfield says it wont fit
i was going to buy this CD/MP3 deck for my 300D, but crutchfield is telling me that it wont fit in my car. i am trying to figure out why it wont fit, and searching the old threads i am not finding anything about certain Decks not fitting.
i am thinking of just ordering it and seeing why it would not work. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-G6fUR6H1Xzp/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?i=070XDM6820&id=morephotos&a=&s=0&cc=01&g=300#morephotos

crutchfeild said my Kenwood KRC-405 wouldnt fit a while back. Bought it and it fits! Stupid crutchfeild. Most likely that one will fit.

I think most decks are a standard size. I've tested the same on in the Bimmer, Benz, and the gf's Honda and it fit all three. Mine came with a sleeve in case it was slightly too small for the hole.

Nothing personal but that deck is a bit shinny for an old 300D. They probably mean it won't fit asthetically.......(-:

Crutchfield's overpriced. Use them for research then buy your stuff somewhere else. I got a brand new Kenwood low-profile powered sub for $150 on eBay. Same item's $250 in the Crutchfield catalog.

I bought my stereo at crutchfields only because it came with plug-in connnectors. I didnt want to cut the wires. The kenwood front speakers I purchased with the stereo didnt fit the car. The tweeters were protruding too much. I couldnt get the covers on. I might try the pioneer 4" speakers.
