I have a 92 Troopy on the way and I would like to have a modern radio installed.Apple car play or similar. Does anyone know what stereo system will fit in a Troopy with little modifications. Thanks, Mike

It's easy depending on what you have. If you go with a double DIN from a single DIN, you'll need a new bezel which are on ebay. LHD and RHD are the same, they just flip depending on side. Depending on what you have in the truck, you may need the mounting brackets...they work, as I recall, for either single DIN or double DIN. I just did my HZJ with a double DIN that had a single DIN and the brackets fit the double DIN just fine.
I went with a Sony AX200 on my LC79 primarily because it has a volume knob.....I hate fiddling with buttons for volume. Easier to deal with a volume knob....probably a sign I am getting old. It has Carplay and Android Auto. Nice system but the screen is tough to see in certain light...my only gripe with it.

Is the double DIN bezel aftermarket? The OEM bezel I have accounts for a single DIN plus a pocket... so I figured it would accomodate a double DIN unit in lieu of that.
This is the OEM bezel I used: 55413-90K00
Okay, yeah, same as mine. So double-DIN works in that with no trimming then right?
I'm eyeing the JVC units with CarPlay and reverse camera. I'm a JVC loyalist... have been putting their head units in my cars since high school. And I'm gonna need the reverse camera once I start filling up the back of this truck.
Since you mentioned Alpine, here’s one for under $300 if you can live without CD or volume knobs. Just came out last month.
And since it’s so shallow without CD, they have an amp you can add for 200watts that piggy backs on the back of the unit.
Anyhow I am in the same situation with a truck on the water. I was looking for a double din CarPlay, always like Alpine and that’s the one I put on the list.
