A brief update:
I've gotten the 2DIN installation kit with front faceplate from Germany. I understand that I'll probably have to modify it.
For a year or so, I've been looking at units on eBay, considering pros and cons. I've been trying to find units with either ISO sockets or wiring, so I don't have to bother with that.
I've also decided against an optical driver, after talking it through with my wife. I had found some interesting units at around $150-200, when all of a sudden I found this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/253016641879
It's an Xtrons Android unit with 4 cores 1GB RAM and 16GB storage. It has wi-fi and RDS radio. And it was only $14.99!!!
I know it's a huge risk, and that I might just as well end up with a box with a brick in it, but the chance was impossible to pass up.

I'll let you know how it goes...
