Default DIN size in '08?

Can anyone confirm for me what the DIN size is on the '08? I thought it was a Double-DIN (standard size), but had an installer tell me today that it's a 1-1/2 DIN. This would mean some additional modification to the dash area. That's news to me!

I'm looking at the Pioneer AVIC-Z2 or comparable.

Thanks....

Someone that is too lazy to update their information when the design is in it's 4th model year isn't worth doing business with. They'll make other bad assumptions and screw things up.

The C6 is a double-DIN opening, the AVIC will fit just fine.

If they don't have the din size updated, just think of the other information they will have wrong. Don't let them experiment on your car while they train themselves.

Thanks, All.... luckily, I'm still in the "get pricing" stage. I didn't like the look of their shop, so I probably wouldn't have taken it there anyway. And, with this additional information, I agree that these guys don't know what they're doing!

Save the wave.....
