You can upgrade the stereo to either single din unit or a double din unit, however to keep the Renault steering controls you would also need to fit a lead (£40+) .

The adapter will work you will just need a kenwood patch lead rather than a sony one, which is from £2 to around £5 on ebay this is a link to the same adaptor https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Megan ... 1c303112ab im looking for £50 ono delivered for mine.
Thanks
