Default single din kit yet?

Anyone know of a place I can get a 1-din kit either from here or if anyone knows what company makes it in japan?? I dont have navi and was looking to put a alpine-ivad100 in. If not, do you think an audio shop can custom build one? the one in japan looks like this, Please any help would be greatly appreciated!

The audio din might cutom made but not the nav part since I don't think you could control the A/C without the original display...

Those are indeed nice. Especially if you don't have nav and want to get an A/V unit. And when the screen is out it would only block the clock and hazards button so it would work well.

Really interested if anyone can direct me to a place to buy that kit.

That looks like a very well done custom install. Probably fabricated the faceplate, did a great job matching the color too.

There's rumors of a good Japanese 1 DIN kit out there (not the vent one either, the vent one is ugly!) thats about $400 that comes with the faceplate, bracket and the wiring. But $400 is steep considering you could get a custom install here for less or a similar price.
