Flip out in dash navigation system

Hey guys im looking for a aftermarket navigation for my car. I would prefer a indash flipout unit as it attracts less attention. Also it being in a higher position is also another factor why i would want it. What are some flip out in dash navigation systems that you guys recommend? I want my system to look similar to this.

It wouldn't be CUSTOM if it didn't hinder the operation of you car.

Double Din is the only way I'd go with our cars.


Of course I had a flip out tv for about a week..

hey can you give me my options and name the price for each. i dont mind it covering my climate control, cause i rarely use it anyway. the main purpose here is so that i have an indash screen that can be hidden.

Would it be hard to install a flip out unit in this location(pioneer N3 for example)?

Seriously!! There was a member who had his flip out monitor in the cd tray pocket and the cd insert below. I thought that was clever, but does a install like the one above require alot of work?

i remember seeing these pics on acurainspired its a good idea but its too high the tv can't go further back because of the curve of the dash it sits too far forward i don't think it looks good.....if you wanna go custom with this type of setup i say move the unit down a little.....somewhere between the tray and where the hu would start if you had a single din dash kit...thats what i would do just to my indash flip out to move it up some....as it is now the top is just over the "ac" and "mode" buttons

dreem1er is a smart man. Custom dashkit make everyone cheeky. Single din hole on the bottom. Ooooh.....



BUT...... skip the ISH and get a DOUBLE DIN.
