Q: I need some guidance before making a big purchase

asked by on October 27, 2016

I recently purchased a '99 Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-S, and am looking to replace the stock radio reciever with a new one. I've been looking all over the Internet for guidance, but nobody has any because the S15 still isn't legal in the states. I'm trying to figure out if I can fit a double-din reciever into the dash or not. If you guys could let me know, that would be awesome. Thanks!
My car has an automatic transmission.
