Yes it is possible but it takes some major moding of the area, there is also the problem that the original radio communicates with the ECU via the bus and to get the radio to power on there is a relay that need shorting ( or run a separate power feed )

I will do the same in my 2002 Grand Voyager and collecting information as well as tools such as Dremel hand tool, fascia, ABS plastic, frames and double din kits to start retrofit operation. If I can afford, the project will start this month or, this will be the new year's greatest project. I will share the pictures when the job done...

 

Here are some forums to give an idea what's going on exactly...

 Think this is what must have been done to mines at some point, think I'm needing to take the fuse box apart. Cheers.

Also, I've played about with the sound system on several GV's now and a few odd things crop up in relation to the amplifier and the audio sent to the amp.

 

Before doing ANYTHING I'd check you don't have the complicated version that I have in mine (See my various blog posts and forum posts on it, my website is in my sig), so take an audio source (portable mp3 player with headphone out lead cut so you have the bare wires) and try to feed audio into the correct speaker wires in the back of your stereo (A sacrificial ISO wiring tool is handy here to cut apart) to make sure that you can:

1) power the amp separate to having the radio installed

2) Ensure you can feed audio into the speaker/amp wires and actually have sound come out of the speakers.

 

I'd do the above before starting to mod the facia and do all of that work! I suspect though if you have one of the more complex models (like mine) you'll need to locate the amp (rear panel, in line with the rear row of bench seats) and either bypass it or put an alternative in. That's my plan but unfortunately not until next year and the weather is warmer to be outside pulling apart the interior panels of the car!

 

Good luck, and remember to take photos and notes and post back as it's always appreciated others giving pointers/help.
