Has anybody tried to fit one of these into a single din dash?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Double-HD-...19.m1438.l2649

It's a generic Chinese unit, but I really like the smartphone screen-mirroring function, as then it gives me navigation without having to pay for a more expensive satnav enabled one. I wouldn't want a double din unit and still have to have my phone in a holder displaying maps or navmii or whatever.
The only issue is having to have a cable delivering power to the phone on long journeys, but so long as this thing will actually fit, I'm not too bothered.

Anyone tried this, or am I the only one cheap enough to buy one of these

Hi Matt
Have a look at a post started by Dallas in the ICE section ( double din for £12.50) this will give you all the advice to fit this unit that you will need!

Yes had this in my tourer. It's ok, but need to fit an inline choke at the same time.

Just put it in my new one and sounds good, but going to get a navall unit for the new rover.
