They are wrong you could have it custom made or buy the OEM dash for the lancers with S&S for around $300. The main things is keeping the steering wheel and bluetooth controls that is not possible as yet because no one has made an aftermarket dash-kit that keeps all of the controls yet

To keep the stearing controls you need to wait for Metra to produce the wiring harness. Not sure when its coming out but Im waiting on it.

There is another 08 owner in this forum who had a JVC double din installed, and he had a PAC steering wheel control adapter installed with it and it worked fine. My friends at the Best Buy I work at are going to try to install my steering wheel and bluetooth adapters tomorrow with my Avic-D3. I will let everyone know how it goes. Wish me luck!

Well... I got the bluetooth adapter in but they still can't figure out the steering wheel controls! Every shop I have tried said they need a wiring diagram or a wire harness to get the PAC adapter to work. There is a member in here (Jake26 I think) who had a JVC double din installed in his 08 with the steering controls and said his shop had no problem. I sent him a PM asking for the phone number of that shop so I can call them and ask how they did it, but no response yet. I also need to find out how to bypass the dvd player in the D3... Anyone know how?

I will as soon as I get my new amp. Hopefully within a month or two I will getting a nice big Fosgate Mono amp and maybe a Fosgate Cap as well. Then I will make it all pretty... even though I never have the seats down to show it off.

So last night I figured I would try and bypass the dvd blackout while driving on my Avic-D3. Best Buy said it would very hard to do since it has the GPS, but I read a bunch of forums and it took all of about 10 minutes! It works great and now I (and by "I" I mean my passenger) can watch a movie or use all of the nav features while driving. Glad I didn't listen to them and just tried it myself!
