Hey guys

I am looking for getting cd player for my 96 maxima because the original cassette player is dead. When i look at cd players online they say something like "1.0 DIN, ISO/DIN mountable" or dual DIN etc. I have no clue and i don't want to purchase something that doesn't fit. Can anyone please tell me

1-What does this DIN thing mean?
2-How do i know if it will fit in the dash of my car? what spec should i look for?
3-Do i need to get any extra kits?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

you have a double din unit now, a single din will take up half the space as the double, a single should fit, you will just need something to take up the extra space below your new single din, try the audio section.

 

If you get a single din, you will have to get a dash pocket to go under the radio you purchase.
Thats a double DIN radio.
Thats a single DIN with a pocket underneath it to fill the space. If you have any questions you can PM me, Ill be glad to help you out.

 

Thank you all. Wow it was that simple. OK now i am clear. I need single DIN CD player as the stock cassette player is single DIN and i already have a pocket under it.

Cool i am set.
Thanks again!!
