I dont understand your question?? Are you getting a DNX 8120 or a DDX 812. An 8120 is an all in one system. Why would you need a second screen? Are you looking at going with the KOS system?

^hmm... if you did more research, you would see that a double din unit will not fit in the cubby. and absolutly no point getting a all in one unit modified into the cubby and still have another head unit.

well, if you use the word modified, then im sure anything can be done given to the right person. but seriously.. dont bother.
the top screen im using is the kenwood lz 702w. fits almost perfect in the stock cubby. and the bottom i went with something decent. kenwood ddx7019. with 2 screens, it wouldnt make sense getting a expensive all in one unit. the 7019 is pretty cheap in price but does the job well.
im using the top for navi and backup camera, while the bottom screen is to play movies,mp3,music vids while i drive. if you play a movie on the bottom screen then its harder for other people outside to see while you are driveing, which is what you want because its illegal to play something while you drive. and the top is my navi, which IS legal to use while you are driving. hope this helps.
oh yea, credits to THEDUKE who did all my installs and helping me with my ideals. also to Spike for helping me with ideals and the one responsible for getting me into blowing my money on dual lcd screens.
gotta love it tho

^^Thanks for the mention, but the credit goes to you for installing one of the best dual screen CES's I've seen here.
Kenwood provides excellent solutions that are a nearly perfect fit for the Z, and certainly THEDUKE is a great and helpful resource.
Your setup (installation) is the best visually because the navigation screen is positioned optimally, and your double-din LCD displays what it should for operational purposes and DVD viewing.
Great CES installation!

^thanks glad you like it. hearing it from you especially makes it worth it.
oh and i forgot to mention, you have to buy the 03 cubby in order for it to make it fit.

you would have to buy both. iv seen somewhere before tho where someone installed the same unit in a 06 cubby, im not sure how that worked out tho, but to be safe and to save some trouble, you can order that part from nissan

I installed a Kenwood DNX7100 in my roomates Z, and a Kenwood LZ6500W 6.5" screen in the upper cubby to display movies and such while the nav is being used on the 7100. The Kenwood 6.5" fits far better than any other screen that I have put in the cubby, because the chassis is flat, the buttons can still be easily used and there are no lines of resolution that are covered up by the bezel, even without doing any cutting or trimming to anything. Most people that see it think it a stock part it fits so well. I have installed a couple Alpine 7" screens which don't fit nearly as good. A small bit of the screen is covered by the bezel unless you file the edges down a bit and the buttons along the bottom are difficult to reach as well as the writing for them are completely covered so you can't tell what button does what.
