i wouldnt use one of them, go with a brand name.

youll need the proper wiring adaptor for the premium system but other than that its a straight swap, pull the stereo, eq and support tray out and drop new stereo in

I bought a blaupunkt dab headunit so it was a straight swap and the oem changer etc still fits in and works so well with the oem speakers as it was made for them.

Hats off for re wiring it though  :grin:
