Thanks in advance.

Depending on what double din deck you have, it should work ok. If it's an Pioneer Avic F series, I've heard of them partially working from the people on Avic411. The volume and source buttons will work, but kinda laggy, and the band buttons will not work. This is all just hearsay though, since I don't have first hand experience with the unit itsself, so take it with a grain of salt. If it's not an Avic series, ignore what I just said.
As far as will the stock sub work, it should if you use the proper harness. You may have to hook the remote turn on wire for the stock amp to the remote turn on/power antenna wire on your aftermarket deck's wiring harness. Again, I gutted everything so I never really used the stock sub/sound system with an aftermarket deck.
Hope this helps.
