I have a 2005 Sorento LX with the sport package. The factory radio is 4 inches tall with the CD & tape player. When I checked Crutchfield the guide stated only a single DIN radio would fit the LX with the sport package. However it also showed a double DIN would fit the LX without the sport package. Is there something preventing a double DIN being used to replace the factory double DIN radio? Why would there be a difference because of the sport package? Don't know if this matters but it does have an amp under the seat and there is not a small pocket under the radio.

Thanks for the help

Some of these came with a double DIN, some came with single.
A Double DIN radio will fit.
If it has the pocket under the single DIN radio, remove, if not just take out the old radio!

You've got the same setup I've got. As long as crutchfield sends the correct harness, the double-din will fit just fine. The wrong harness will render your speakers inoperative (won't switch on the amp).

Thanks for the info. I really didn't want to put a single D.I.N radio in the car.

Which Harness?

I want to swap my factory with an after market double din also. What is the correct harness to use?

Follow the upgrade path on a site like Crutchfield (I have no association with them, just know that they won't steer you wrong). If you choose a double din radio, they will say it won't fit, find the harness by looking for a single din radio. It will, but the opening is wider than a normal double din (height is correct). You'll still need a mounting bracket to fill in the space (can mount without it, but won't look pretty).

Also found this on ebay. Again, no association, just a quick search for the right part brought this link. Hyundai Accent Kia Universal 2005 2011 Radio Stereo Dash Install Kit Double DIN | eBay
