I wonder why no one has tried to fabricate some sort of pop up nav from the center speaker area. Just cut out some of the dash.

i dont think it looks as good as OEM. and to get OEM upgrade there is a lot involved there is a thread around here they cant just upgrade it for you. It has to come from the Factory with Navi unless u are brave like some on CL that attempted and Succeeded props to them.

I just thought the screen sat a little low but it's not as bad as everyone is making it out to be. The cool thing about the flip out screen is that it neatly hides away when you're away from the car so it doesn't attract thieves.

To the OP, as long as you like it, that's all it matters. Who cares about what everyone else says!

I think most good thieves will know at a glance if there is anything aftermarket in a car, and i'm sure they know they're looking at a DVD head unit no matter if its open or closed.

I feel bad for the OP...I saw the thread right when he started it and knew he was going to get ripped apart.

I think its a decent install, but a truly professional shop would have done custom fiberglassing/woodwork but would charge around $3,000. For the money spent, including the equipment, it wasn't a bad deal...nothing i'd do to my car...but like you said...if he's happy, he's happy!
