I have scoured the inter-web for installs, which I have only found a few installs, but none with great detail, or they involve cutting the din frames. I have found however, an  double din dash kit for a newer (2007) cooper...  https://www.carid.com/metra/single-double-din-stereo-dash-kit-mpn-99-9309.html?singleid=61258166&url=78871729

Now my real question,  is would I be able to switch over my dash compenponets (air, heat, vents, and switches) to this newer dash style so I could keep the Double din? Or should I fabricate a new double din frame and keep the old style dash? 


The dash for the 2007 is quite different from the 2005, so I suspect the double din dash kit will not work on your 2005.  BUT, if you decide to try it, let us know how it turns out!
