I have seen a couple of FTO's with these. Just take up 1 DIN spot. My only worry would be if you stop suddenly your drink might cover your head unit 8O
It says double DIN, but they mean double draw because a single DIN is 49-50mm high

Would it get in the way of a manual gear stick?

Agreed. Lawso, you've already got a cup-holder. That is for the driver only. Anyone else in the car can hold their drinks in their hands, and if they complain then they can get out. Technikhaus also has a point, it'd get in the way of your shifting "technique"

Save your money for bigger and better things
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

Can they be put where the pocket goes?
Because when i was taking out my centre console i severly damaged my pocket in the process so it wouldnt be a bad idea to replace the pocket with this thing.
Any suggestions?
Its either an FTO or nothing!

Yes you can as long as its a single DIN unit.

Your pocket = 1 DIN
Your radio = 1 DIN

Both spaces combined = DOUBLE DIN.
