Default nav idea...

i've been wanting to know this for a long time...and i'm willing to spend $5,000 (excluding navigation) to get this to work. if it's a legit idea, and will work, lemme know. i've always been extremely dissatisfied with classic instrument clusters. i've always wondered...y isn't there just a BIG screen there!? a screen could show navigation info, speedometer, gas, etc...so why have out of date (in my opinion) manual gages when u can have dynamic ones that u can change the appearance of, the color, the size, what's shown, etc.

SOO..in short..can a screen been retrofitted in place of my instrument cluster?

such as this concept idea here


navigation like this...however, not just a small screen...rather a big one that takes up the majority of the cluster


the only thing about this one is it looks like a screen in the place i want it...and a speedometer in the right corner


sort of like this but a regular square screen (for now...altho later i could custom fit an enclosure and edit the software to fit..)

are there nav's that have speedometer capabilities on them?

The Kenwood/Garmin nav unit I added to our Corolla has a speed reading. Any aftermarket GPS should show MPH.
