I am trying work out what I need or if its possible to change the factory ready for a single din aftermarket radio? Can someone please tell me what I need to get a single din unit to fit

I had a look a while back when we first purchased our one, from memory any aftermarket is going to either involve cutting the exiting facia to suit the double DIN unit with a frame glued on, or a more expensive facia that is usually double DIN. You might be able to find a facia that has single DIN and a cubby hole below it, or might be able to fit a bin below the single din in the double DIN hole like my Altezza has.

From memory ebay has a few facia options on there, and there were a few i saw on youtube showing how to cut or fit them.
