still a bit of kinks to work out, a bit of a gap between the screen and the console. but for now it looks great, the casing will be redesigned to fix the issue, so i will get it replaced later. as far as from the angle of the driver sitting up right, the gap isnt visible at all.

http://www.mp3car.com/store/index.php?cPath=44 this is the cost for 03-04 kit. im the prototype for 05 (we have different interior) this is still at beta stage, so its not released yet, still a few kinks to work out. it actually cost more for Digitalwheelz to build the 05 kit, but chuck said they will probably still sell it at the same price as the 03-04 kit. beside the kit which includes the screen, youll need either a stand alone gps/dvd system that fits in the upper glove compartment on the rightside. or you need a computer. Im doing a computer in the trunk routing the wires into the center console ala Pratik's car.

wow...nice pictures!
i am jealous
got a quick question tho. you know how OEM nav system comes up automatically. is it possible if you can do that on aftermarket nav system such as yours? (seems like you have to pull out the screen manually)

looks good man. I am jealous that you and others will have touchscreen and the endless world of media to play on your screen. I hope to get a pac unit installed within a few months to add on a DVD player.

unforunately there is no room in the compartment for a motor, if a motor is to be included there would be some serious cutting involved and the mod would be much more expensive as well as impossible to revert back to stock form.

Sweet!!! My audio shop installed a 7" Touch for me in the same spot - - no nav, just a back-um cam. Still has the flip up/down capability; it's a life-saver!!! Pics tomorrow - - weather dependent!!!
