why can't you guys just leave the gps antenna under the dash? My Escort 9500ci gets good locations by placing the antenna there. I know it's not exactly mapping out my routes but it has to detect locations well enough to tell me about gps locations for stuff like redlight cameras and speedtraps.

Mine is under the front dash. When the car is parked in the garage it takes about 15-30 seconds to lock on the sats once I pull out of the garage. When it's parked outside it locks onto the sats right away, 8-9 sats too.

King: so on the screen bezel, you took a non-Navi bezel, cut it to fit the LCD in there, correct? How does the LCD and bezel actually get attached or held in place?
I am trying to figure out if I should buy a non-Navi bezel, cut it, etc. *or* if I buy a Navi. bezel, and just attach my own LCD screen.
My concern is being able to secure the bezel and LCD to the car...I haven't seen pictures/description of how people are actually attaching it all.
Thanks!

Mine isnt really "fixed" to the bezel....it simply stock inside the metal case. You need to modify a little the metal case, but it's a 2 minutes job. The worst part is the fitting.
Im planing on removing the front plastic cover of my Xenarc and make it blend with bezel....mp3car.com has a lot of fabrication technics in the FABRICATION zone....

The LCD/Circuit board (it's all-in one unit) is housed in a metal case and this case is bolted to the back of the bezel. The dimensions of the metal case fit my touchscreen almost perfectly. I took the bezel out, opened the hole for the touchscreen. There was alot of cutting and test measuring with the metal case and bezel. I placed the touchscreen in the metal case and bolt everything back together. It's really not that simple but that's it in a nutshell.

So I would need to modify the metal case? I guess then I want to try to buy a bezel that comes with a metal case just to make it easier. Someone was selling just the bezel, but I think I want the metal case so I don't need to destroy my factory one in case I ever want to revert things.

all you need now is...
a wrist watch that is linked up to the car
a front lcd scanner
a black semi that follows you around
a leather jacket and some bad acting
you'll be able to go on a lonely crusade to help the innocent.
awesome job, starting from the research down to the execution!
