You WILL have to cut off your radio bracket to install a double din radio. Also, if you want the radio to be centered vertically to work with any of the aftermarket bezels out there then you will need to cut the upper part of the bracket as well. See my post here when I installed a Pioneer AVIC-Z1 a few years back.

This is the top part that will need to be sawed off.
