Double dins are quite universal as long as there's a space for it to go

I have an app radio in mine and went in no problem so don't think you'll have a problem here

Yes, it will fit , but you may have to get a surround if it doesn't come with it, as it may be slightly smaller.

I've just recently fitted an Erisin ES1008 double din stereo into my 6n2. It's probably exactly the same dimension-wise, and wasn't too difficult to fit. The dash needs a bit of modding to make it fit, especially if you plan on plugging in the GPS and TV aerial leads etc.

Here's a link to a pic of mine on my Facebook page. I've made it public so hopefully you can see it:-

It's one of these:-

Here's how I did mine:-

Firstly, you will need a double din cage as the Chinese stereos don't come with one. I wanted mine to sit flush (the face hangs out of the dash about an inch or so normally) but if that doesn't bother you then fitment will be quicker.

Remove the standard stereo and tray and then remove the whole centre piece of the dash (there's a torx screw at each side of the opening and one at the bottom at the back. Unplug the hazard light cable by wiggling it free.

Cut the plastic away from the rear area of the stereo aperture on the centre dash piece so it allows the stereo to fit further back. I also trimmed some plastic from the area where the rear torx screw normally screws into (in the dashboard), as it was in the way.

Fit a 9mm thick piece of timber/mdf/plastic/whatever attached/glued on top of the bottom piece of plastic (so the cage will sit on it) to support the cage and hold it at the right height. Mine was about 130mm x 80mm x 9mm and I siliconed it in place.

Screw the centre piece of the dash back in remembering to plug the hazard light connector back in. There will only be 2 screws to screw back in as the plastic at the rear is now long gone. :) I placed my GPS receiver underneath the top of the dash panel (there's a little indented area at the top that it fitted in nicely) before re-fitting so it's hidden away. Works well too!

I then cut 12mm from the front area at the top and bottom of the double din cage (and left the sides untouched). This allowed the stereo to sit as far back as I needed and the sides hold the cage to the front of the stereo aperture. I then screwed the cage into place with a 12mm screw either side.

Now just wang the stereo in the dash. I used another piece of 9mm timber behind the stereo to hold it at the right depth. This bit was just trial and error (and swearing) until it was in the right place. I then glued it in at a random angle and the world was good.

Next up was wiring. Swap the red and yellow cables so the switched and constant live are correctly wired up to the stereo. The amp and aerial cables from the stereo seemed to give off a constant 12V supply on mine, so I soldered my amp's remote wire to the switched live instead. I also added an aerial amp (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180769151102?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649) to help with FM signal and also wired this to the switched live. Now plug in the GPS and TV antennas/aerials, iPod cable, 3G/Wifi adapter, amp cables, etc. etc. and throw it all in the dash.

The stereo was a tight fit and probably wouldn't come loose but, for safety, I added a few dabs of silicon onto the cage (to hold it once it had gone off. This will hold it nicely and also allow me to prise the stereo free using a screw driver when I need to remove it.

Last step is to fit the front trim/surround. I simply superglued it in place as the clips on it were useless (as the stereo is too far back for them to engage).

I hope this helps you fit yours and a lot of it probably won't make sense until you come to fit yours, but it is all fairly straight forward, just time consuming. :)

sound for the advice lads ill have a go at it anyway! ill let ye no how i get on

I have the same dimensions on my pioneer.. it should slot straight in with the cage supplied, just take the cage of the headunit first, slot that into your dash and bend the small triangle clips up on the cage so it seats correctly, wire in your headunit and slot that into the cage :) the surround that came with mine to hide the cage fits perfectly in the 6n2 dash also, and with it having the same dimensions as the one you want it should be fine :) oh and just a pointer, if it has a wire that needs to be connected to your handbrake just splice that into the ground for the headunit (black wire) as with mine it wouldn't let me watch anything even if the engine wasn't running :/ just dont watch while driving, 3 points if you get caught.. let us know how it goes dude :)

Hi will this fit in my polo 6n2 http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm?itemId=271533110852&pAction=VI

Yes. No reason why it won't.
