If you have the base head unit it is an easy upgrade.
You need a double din facia adaptor which the installer is unlikely to have. D3 is unusual and installer needs to be flexible.
Lots of alternatives and you could out a separate screen 7" scren inthe cubby.
You may need to find out info before aproaching installers.
Do a search.
Here are a couple to get you started:

7" touch screen will fit in the spot where the OEM screen would be. Gives you the option of fitting a car pc.
Otherwise a double din unit in the OEM spot, or both.  “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

thanks caver
i noticed on your profile that you have a quite a few mods - did you do your own install? i guess any install will have to go in the cubby area - do they run the cabling all the way to the back for reverse camera? imagine they would have to pull a few panels for access?

Hi lukesky7 - I'm not caver - but I play him on TV! 
Yes - caver did his own install. There are/were photos of his speaker upgrade routine in his gallery. Also photos of his CarPC and screen install.
The installer will probably run coax from screen/head unit to camera, as well as switched power - usually to one of the tail light reversing lights. That powers on the camera - as well as telling the head unit/screen that the input is there. Cables will run behind dash - probably behind glove box, down into front passenger foot well kick panel, then into the channels which are under the plastic scuff plates. From there, behind the rear quarter panel and to where you mount the camera.
Regarding installers - there is an excellent one at Caringbah. PM me your suburb and I can recommend one close to you.
Also - if you come along to one of the pub lunches we have, you can take a look at installs yourself.
Cheers,
Rob

D3 is a very easy car in run cabling in so shouldn't be a problem.
I did the work myself so don't know installers. Jonesy will steer you in the right direction.
