It's a cool idea, but not practical because the climate control is on the door. How you gonna control it while moving on the freeway?

That's straight up wack. I personally would be embarassed of that setup. Good job ruining the interior of a beautiful car w/ a ****ty install.

The climate controls on the door is just stupid. The fiberblass work for the surround looks cheap.

Sorry if I'm harsh but someone needs to tell you the truth.

^ Couldnt agree with you more. Dude you got screwed on your install. That looks absolutely horrible. I dont mean to sound like a douche, just giving my $.02.

is it not possible to replace the lower deck area, where the cd goes instead of climate control, swap it out with the pop up screen? just an idea..

I think you should revert it back to stock. If you really want nav just get a prortable unit.

I suggest people not to do aftermarket hu it will ruin the interior. Go with either Garmin or just trade in for Nav. That's what I did.
