It's about 20mm wider then a standard double dinn, and a few mm taller.

Kenwood make a headunit that fits perfectly, model number KENWOOD DDX630WBT

I got it from eBay. It was a really hard until to find in Australia. You might have a bit more luck finding around in the US.

I was hoping so but the only online sites selling I've seen are in India. I will check out some local stores this week in hopes of finding it. Thanks

I guess because I'm a new member, I can't start my own thread. I'm trying to figure out what wiring harness/spacers are necessary to mount an aftermarket double-DIN HU. I tried searching the forums but couldn't find anything relevant that looked helpful.

I found this on eBay, just wondering what other forumers used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCION-FR-S-2...336#vi-content

I just want the basics - plug-and-play (no splicing), and I'd like to retain the USB/Aux input if possible.

That kit will work.

As for USB/Aux retention, you will have to modify your car and head unit. There is a DIY thread on the forums about it (I can't remember where).
