Default Anyone use 8.8 in din?

Does anybody use an 8.8 inch din radio in their C5? I heard that they can fit in the stock bezel. If you use one, what radio do you use, did you have to modify the bezel, and do you have any pics?

Also, if you look at the end of the "FINALLY" thread, you will see that member PNW/Z06 has posted a different, new product that looks promising.

I have no way of knowing, but it looks pretty similar in the pictures. Go to the website and look at the specs
