It'll fit the dash opening...Add a stud on the back of the new unit and fasten it to the dash frame..{Just like they were originally}...You may need to use a universal metal strip instead of the factory piece between the new unit and the dash frame...

I usually have to sand back the corner about 1/8 to 3/16 with a dremel to get the face to fit.
