screen will slide down if the unit was pushed in little bit, but this thing is pretty bulky and it can't go in any deeper.

will the trim piece under the climate control come out??
if so that will give you a little more clearance and maybe be able to angle the unit up towards the driver to help with inserting a cd/dvd

xenonhid did it with is custom installed unit, but I didn't know if there was enough room to do it with a aftermarket double din mounting bracket

mmmmmm....
very nice...
But, isn't it bit low? I just dont like it because of the location. You will be looking down a lot at your navi and it can get dangeous for not paying attention on the road.

What you're talking about doing has been discussed quite a few times. The general consensus was that there just isn't enough room there because the circuit board gets in the way. That's why Streeteffectz came up with an alternate solution. That's not to say that it's impossible though, hopefully someone will be able to get one to fit. I'd really like to see that too!

streeteffectz did a great job on that install and as far as the head unit's fitting it's all about the size of the unit, but I have a factory NAVI so no worries here
