Plus, I don't know how well the "front lip catch" would work as the "front lip catch" in a Nav system is actually a controller board with Nav buttons and ***** on it..
The "front lip catch" is this piece here:

If you've ever taken apart your dash and looked at the 2004 Nav pocket, you'll see that it's all one molded unit with the lid..The only way to separate the pocket from the lid is to cut it off... and even then you'd have to cut off the lid mechanisn which is connected about halfway down the side of the pocket.. someone extremely l33t is going to have to figure out a way around that.
I don't think anyone will find an "easy" mod for the 2004 (unless of course you use a 2003 nav pocket). Or you could do what someone here did too: remove the pocket and lid all together and just stick a screen there...
The alpine screen =$650
-or-
2003 nav pocket= $92
7" farenheight 7001=$270
--------------------------------
=$362
enjoying video in your Z priceless

aren't the qualities between Fahrenheit's and Alpine's differ?
i've seen couple of fahrenheit screens for display and some alpines and it was not even close for comparison. alpine's were soo much better.

OK, for those of you who haven't taken apart your 2004 nav pocket and actually looked at it, I've decided to explain through pictures why it would be hard to modify a 2004 nav pocket with an LCD..
1. It's all one unit:
2. OK, can you cut?
3. OK, cutting won't be easy/impossible.. how about jamming a 7" screen in like the farenheight?
4. best alternative if you insist on keeping the 2004 nav pocket with minimal cutting?

leemik...thanks for the pics...you put everything into perspective.
Dayam it! This LCD screen installation is going to be more complicated than I thought!
Why'd nissan have to go screw with something that was already working fine! It's a conspiracy I tell you.... they don't want you to mod anything easily!

Why don't you simply buy a 2003 Nav pocket? I know it's not a perfect solution but I think it's the best and cheapest one out there right now..I've done it and no one has notice that anything was out of place.. My friends think it's cool as chit..

I'll post the part numbers tonight when I get home. It was a pain to track down the controller...

Awesome!!! pics would be great with prices too!
I know the 2004 Nav lid part number is 68250-CD070 because I ordered it then read someone's post here about how they couldn't get the motor to work .. So I returned it..
