Mine is a double in the glove box. I will have to see if I can work two single din pockets into the opening.

Here is where I am going to install my JBL, at least until I have a chance to try it out and see if I like it. Great part about it is no drilling required. I just re-purposed a cup holder hole.

I was incorrect about my old head unit being double din. It looks like it from the front, but when I pulled it out, it was single. Just a large face. Unfortunately, when the original head unit was installed, the cut the hole a little large, probably because the face was so big so it did not really matter. That made my din pocket not fit. I had to improvise a mounting plate to cover the oversized hole. Not too big of a deal. Now my glove box has a separate cell phone pocket.

My new little JBL was short lived. Has an LCD defect. Fluid seems to "leak" out from the letters/numbers. I contacted the manufacturer and shipped it back. Apparently the PRV170 is discontinued. They are replacing it with the soon to be released PRV175. Same basic unit with some upgrades. The first unit worked fine (just a display problem) and I was able to test it out. I think I will really like it. I was happy to find that it retains its bluetooth device memory even after having the batteries turned off. The cup-holder mount seems like it will be a good location.
