I'm torn between trying to implement something like this or waiting for a true double DIN bracket to come out for the D.
Has anyone done this or thought about doing it? This looks like an interesting starting point:

The dimensions are: 6 3/8" X 9 1/8" (can be cut down to 5 5/8" X 9")
My car is in storage, so I can't easily measure the width of the console opening where the stock radio is, or the passenger side knee pad perhaps. Obviously the air vents would need to be re-routed if using the current console area. But this could make for an interesting project.
Also, using a Sony head unit allows you to hide it (i.e. behind the driver seat in the cubby) and still control all radio functions from the iPad apparently.
"Option 2: the Sony Combo
This is by far the most in-expensive and feature packed option. Sony offers a line of car stereos with a feature called "App Remote". This feature allows you to control your Sony car stereo with an App installed on your tablet. Most sony radios also feature bluetooth for your phone. The App Remote feature is especially cool because you can install the sony unit somewhere hidden, which is very important because the amount of space on your dash is limited. Sony MEX-GS600BT"
