    The problem with the aero and early whale dash, its not a true double din. So, the 2-din head units fit weird. This is why I don't think I will ever go with the 2-din. Also, I don't think the whale dashes are the same.

      Yeah that's true most I have seen do fit a little weird. I wouldn't mind going single din, in fact I'm really liking the Pioneer 8400BH but I cant get a good picture of the dash kit, I cant tell if the pocket is tapered or not. Did you use a dash kit with a pocket on your 97?

      This is the one Crutchfield will throw in for free if i get said pioneer unit

        I did use a dash kit with my pioneer 9400BH. Need to make a small cut here and there in the radio area because, the new head unit and USB cable is longer than the original. If your not plugging in a USB cable in the back of the new deck, you should not have any issues.
