ANY double-DIN unit will fit fine, but you need a dash kit. Metra, Scosche, AI, etc. makes these kits, and you need to buy the one that matches your year car. It doesn't matter which headunit you have - the kit matches the car. Check out some YouTube vids on the install process before doing anything. Sounds like you haven't done this before. You also need a wiring harness adapter, and again, it matches the car, not the headunit. Buy from crutchfield.com and they'll set you up with everything, and provide lifetime support.

Also, the Pioneer head units won't sit flush with the dash kit bezels (it'll sit back a few millimeters.) If you want the screen flush, you simply need to drill a few holes in the mounting bracket to get it lined up properly. It's worth the extra effort to go with the Pioneer since they really do make decent audio systems.

Also, be aware that the face of the headunit if flat, while the face of the console is a complex curve, so various kits do a better or worse job of blending the two together. I had a kit from AI that was just awful, but the Metra is pretty good. Maybe you can see what I mean in this pic:
