Default TL Head Unit Installation

Ok I am looking into buying a TL here in a couple of weeks and I wanted to know about head unit installation. Its a 2004 without navigation and I wanted to install a clarion head unit into it. Is there any way that I can install a dual din head unit into the dash? Is there enough depth?

I have searched for this but only found bits and pieces of what I need to know.

Thanks for any direction.

Matt

I agree with lil_1_2002, but if you insist ......

Those guys have ALL the answers... call them!! They have vehicle-specific install/wiring kits AND vehicle-specific instructions. They warn that significant modification is necessary to install an aftermarket system in that vehicle.

Just be prepared to swap out all the speakers also because of the super low impediance that the stock bose speakers have.

Yeah I just bought my TL today and the system does sound incredible. How can I swap a different sub into that slot? You have the thread link?
