Three suggestions:
1) Call Crutchfield and ask about options for the "nose and 2 knob"
format units. Options are falling by the wayside, but I think
there are still some available. An in dash CD is a challenge
for that format, but some can handle a remote changer.
2) If you must cut, use this as an excuse to buy a Dremel tool. It's
great for this sort of thing. (I used one to enlarge the "nose"
area for a new radio in my TR6. Didn't have the nerve to cut a
full DIN opening -- maybe next time.)
3) If you cut, be sure to look carefully behind the dash before
starting the cut. Make sure there aren't any supports or
braces which will keep you from fitting the DIN unit. Front
to back depth might be an issue as well.
