Unfortunately, I don't have much info that could be of use
to you - just wanted to chime in and say I really like the idea
of hiding an aftermarket head unit inside of the factory one -
pretty cool; I wish I had thought of that. :-)
Regarding your question, I think the dash in the GenIII Dak
comes off pretty easy; there might be a couple of screws down
in the driver's footwell area, but it pretty much just pulls
right off the dash, then it should be just 4 screws to pull
the radio out. Anyway, shouldn't be too difficult to just pull
the dash off and have a first hand look at what sort of room is
available. (Though I can definitely understand wanting to get
all the info you can beforehand.) :-)
