yeah prolly trim the plastic and what stopped me from doing it is that the center console faces towards the driver and thats kinda weird

Trim plastic from the front panel. Trim plastic from the inner crap...

Find a way to support the deck in there...

The opening for an alero is just over 4" which 4" is standard double din size. Plus I haven't seen any kits. brackets, mounts, etc. to install anything double din sized in an alero. Just wiring harnesses! I am going to be putting a AVIC D3 in my alero, I still have to go to best buy and see what they say about the install but I want to give it a try first before I pay someone to do it!

The metra 99-2003 kit includes adapters for double din mountings...

Also you can look at these...

The radio size was used corporate wide for GM, I know Pioneer shows an AVIC in an Escalade dash, so theoretically it should fit fine in the Alero. Just the dash trim might need to be opened up a touch. The oldsmobile dash opening is a strange shape...
