Check out Glamisdude's Comprehensive Audio guide. You should come up with a few threads with a forum search and a couple of them cover a fairly ridiculous amount of info on components that fit etc..

(FYI, it's a sticky at the top of the audio sub forum page ; )

All double din housings are the same. The buttons on the 6.1" are on the side and make up the rest of the .9". The 7" have the buttons below.

So any double din will fit? I'd like to get the right dash kit for it too so I'm not left with gaps. Appreciate it guys! And I did check the stickies but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

These guys are cheap and awesome: Car Audio Stereo - Car Subwoofers - Car Amplifiers and Speakers

Just put in your info and you'll get the right stuff. They even include the Scosche dash kit for free with most models.

The DIN standard specifies a size for the opening aperture. In the case of a double DIN unit it will measure 4"x7"-ish.

The actual spec is 180mmX100mm but 4"X7" is close enough for those countries that are still being knuckleheads by not switching to the metric system.

However, the DIN spec does not also specify a fixed depth of the unit. Some head units are deeper or shallower than others.

I have read/heard that some units won't easily fit in a Frontier because they are a bit too deep so one should always check a fit guide beforehand.

I've been buying stuff from Crutchfield for more than 20 years and they have a decent guide to what fits what:

Crutchfield and sonic electronix are both great places to buy. Personally, I do my research on Crutchfield since their info tends to be better, then buy from Sonic because their prices are generally far better.

Well I'm thinking of getting a media player double din, because I ca do away with CD's and also they're not deep units like a traditional cd/DVD player.. And if I'm correct you're saying most double dins will fit fine
