I'm looking to upgrade the stereo head-unit in my new jimny (2009) and have found a bunch of threads on the pitfalls of trying to match aftermarket double-dins to the fascia, etc. It seems more complex than I am able to handle at this stage of the week 
Ideally I'd like to keep the stock fascia and get a unit that is compatible with the iPhone. Not interested in it being Apple Carplay compatible, as this hikes the price loads, and all it need to do is play nicely with the phone's iTunes over bluetooth and be able to handle hands-free calls. DAB would be a bonus, but not vital.
Has anyone found a head unit which fits standard fascia with no (or minimal) alteration? Then all I'll need is the small outer trim piece to go around the edge, if I remember correctly from a thread of Martin's from a while back?

This is my Sony one just a case of measuring the radio and buying the surround for the one you choose I think the Chinese touch screen ones come out in lots of different sizes but the main makers I think there is just a couple of millimetres difference

It wasn't that expensive about £118.00 does everything though so pleased with it.
