Sorry, I am not following your question. You have a broken AUX outlet and the link is to a DVD player. If you are asking if the DVD player will fit, it's Dimensions are: 7.24"(W) x 2.13"(H) x 6.69"(D) . Measure up the location you want to install it at.

I would not get this one. I would get a STANDARD double DIN head unit. This one is a bit over sized and you may have to work at it to get it to go in place. That means cutting and molding.

Try looking at these, you wont find better prices.

Pioneer AVIC-N3 In-Dash 6.5-Inch MP3/DVD GPS System

This ones needs a harness and GPS antenna which you can get on ebay for very little

Pioneer AVIC-D3 In-Dash CD/DVD 6.1in LCD / GPS Receiver

This one needs just the GPS antenna and microphone, which again can be found on ebay

Pioneer AVIC-Z2 50Wx4 In-Dash AM/FM/CD GPS Navigation

I happen to have that last one being the Pioneer AVIC Z2 and IMO it is the best one to have. All of the music is stored on the internal hard drive including the navi maps.

I wouldn't waste your money on this headunit. I agree with Weedahoe that you may have problems fitting it in without mods being done. It looks like a single din unit to me (didn't bother reading on it). If you just want a great sounding stereo without a tv screen I would deff suggest Alpine. They make some of the best headunits for sound quality, easy to use, etc. You are better off chipping a few extra bucks in for something like that which will last you. Basically you get what you pay for.

On another note if you are wanting an in-dash monitor and you go with a double din size you will have to replace your dash bezel to the factory navigation style in order for it to fit. You may want to check out Crutchfield's website just to check and see what fits in your bezel as is and get some ideas. I hope this helps!

Dont forget the extra harness you will need to wire the dvd player.
