Warning female who knows nothing but needs help with Radio sizes!

Hi guys joined the forum in hopes someone can help me,

My husband has been putting a lot of time energy and money into our Freelander and his birthday is coming up soon and I really want to get him a full new radio with the full display gps Bluetooth etc but i am struggling with the sizes

We have a 2006 MK1 Freelander facelift edition

I think I am correct in looking for a double din screen stereo but I have found ones that say compatible with Freelander 1 and they are 7" display
and others that say compatible with Freelander 1 but are 6.2"

I can't find the sizes on google anywhere (or I am using the wrong search terms and not the 'official' names for the parts!) and I don't want to take a tape measure out as I could end up measuring the wrong bit or not account for the fixing etc,

Can anyone help me with what exact size display I need for the car and also any necessary extras I will need to buy to fit it (it won't be me fitting it don't worry!)

Thanks guys in advance

Welcome to the forum.

It’s a bit confusing, that I’d agree but the biggest screen you can get in a double din is 7” however that is with absolutely no physical controls or CD slot or anything on the front.
If you buy one with a CD player and or physical controls on the front then you’ll end up with a smaller screen, such as the 6.2” that you mentioned.
It is the single/double din bit that matters.
