Default Nav? MP3 player? Where does it all go?

Alright, so the nav screen would go behind that little door, and the nav DVD unit itself would take up one of the two slots, that the stock CD player is currently taking up. Then the MP3 player would go in the other one? Is this correct? Also, can i play movie DVDs on the nav system?

Yes monitor goes in the cubby

Navigation can go behind your seat of the passenger seat in the pocket.

MP3 player, are you talking like an IPOD or something?

What I would suggest is going with a quality head unit that plays, CD/DVD/MP3/SAT Radio. something like the Alpine DVA 9860.

Then get the optional Navigation unit and 7 inch monitor.

Now you can do everything you could ever imagine


Just my opinion though.

How about the Eclipse AVN2454? Seems damn sweet! for $1,200 you get the touch-screen display, nav, dvd player, cd/mp3 player.

Wait, i just realized that this unit comes with one of those pull-out screens that's stored in the double DIN space. I'd like a screen that goes in that factory Nav box with the little pull-down door. How can this be done?

Once again guys, how do i do this so that the nav screen ends up in the stock nav box behind the door? If i can't, then i'll just buy a DIN-mountable unit.

I hate the mp3 handling, too. You would think they would have made the Mp3 player quality alot better for the amount of money they ask for H/U.
