A double din aftermarket radio/navigational system will fit. You just need to trim a very small portion of the dash. I have a Kenwood DNX7100 unit in my 05 vehicle.

just was wondering bill did you have the factory nav in your 05 and if so which wires where not needed!

I did not have the factory navigational system--I had the Mach 7 speaker/subwoofer system. You are going to need to replace the speakers to also improve the sound but speakers can be found fairly cheap and are a DIY job.
