Hidden compartment DIN sized???

Does anyone know if the hidden compartment above the glove box of our 09 Clubman is DIN size? If so, has anyone done a stereo install using this? If so, does anyone have any write-ups on it, was it difficult? Thanks for the info guys.

I don't know if its exactly DIN but I know a radio fits in there as someone here has put one in there but there is not much info on it.

i'm doing this... soon.
i'll have a write up when i do (but will prob be in the spring, unfortunately)
basically, fitting the din sized deck in there, dremel out the back or drill holes to feed wires through behind console, and tap into lines of the stock radio. keeping the stock radio for operation of the car's computer and display, but will disconnect speakers. operation of the headunit will be done by a remote- if it doesnt work through the compartment, i'll fabricate a plexiglass window through it [hard part =p ]
done. =] sounds easy... right? we'll see...
