I used a black plastic chopping board and one of these switches.

You'll need a single DIN converter lead , check the plugs at the back of your radio.

Make up a cardboard template to fit the hole, once you're happy with the fit transfer if to the chopping board, then mark out the hole for the single din radio.:thumb2

Have a look where my radio is fitted, near to the bottom of the chopping board.
There is a reason for this, it will become apparent when you come to do yours.

I chose a radio without a CD player (it has a USB slot and input for i-pods etc) and it is a shallow unit due to this.:thumb2

The hazard lights work by connecting the GREEN/RED wire to the BLACK wire via the switch.

The hazard light plug into the back of the standard radio is the BROWN one, the DIN fitting is the WHITE plug.

Cracking unit, and no CD's cluttering the car.:thumb2
I think I paid £50 for mine but I have seen them cheaper since I bought it.

I also got a micro USB stick, it doesn't stick out of the radio much so less chance of catching it.:doh If you look at my picture you'll see the USB stick under the cover to the right, the cover almost closes, but not quite!:thumb2

Micro USB:
