  In practice you still needed to suss out whether it was metric or imperial din/ddin and find a mounting kit, wiring harness, and trim specific to your car. It still wouldn't fit, of course, so you'd have to file it down / twist it until it did, and then you'd find out that your wiring harness didn't interface well with the amplifier / dash sounds, so you'd have an audible static hiss at all times and a maximum audio level at conversational volume except for the assorted alert beeps/dings which played loud enough to make your head spin. I think it's exceedingly generous to call that a standard. No, I'm not bitter, why do you ask?

    You always wanna replace the factory amp when going aftermarket tho. And the euro din spec is hardly used anymore, just get the ugly larger frame that works with all the jap din spec. A good local installer will cost you a little bit more, but will save you time and grief. Din standard is actually quite nice and I miss it dearly. The new intergrated audio/climate/navigation will look dated in a decade anyway.
