The fascia adapters are normally a good fit and a good colour match.
There are loads of threads on here regarding aftermarket head units, most of them plug straight in but some upset the wiring of the car and play silly buggers ( my JVC used to start playing the CD from the beginning everytime I unlocked the door!! )
If you want to keep the steering wheel controls you will need a patch lead too, all of which take up space behind the stereo.
Not sure about the parrot, stereo shop will have the answer... :cheesy:

I found there was no problem with wiring space in the 406s
All I did is take the lower side panel the one near the center console off and put my hand up and pull
The extra stereo wires through there is plenty of space to stash wires /connectors further down..
