on newer cars like corsas etc you get a massive cd player where its like double the size of the normal one din player like a saxo etc. usually when you want to replace a 2 din cd player with a 1 din you have to buy a spacer to fill in the other din or ther will be a hole in the centre console

just to clear that up..

1 din = standard size headunit..
2 din = same width but double the height headunit..

or in my eyes, perfect for a head unit and the DIN size graphic! lol

mind you it is a long time since i was into ICE in a big way so I am not 100% sure if you can get a DIN sized graphic anymore.

(i had a 1/4 DIN kenwood in my escort ashtray!)
