the job you did on that bezel mod is really impressive. The step by step progress you posted on the other site was a great read.does the shifter make HU access a problem?

What is up with the buttons below the unit? How did you get those in there and make it look like they grew there?

JustinVGT Thank youjoatmon With the shifter infront of the HU, changing disc is a problem when in 1,3 gear. Other than that verything is right on the finger.ArcsVibe My whole project cost (excluding my time) is posted on mp3car from the link above. Seriously till today, I didn't know the grand total cost, but I am sure it was much cheaper than the factory GPS option Mr. Poopypants the buttons below the LCD is part of the LCD case.By looking at the end result, it may look like there is a lot of work, but actually it is very easy because the "over-width" of the radio bezel that fit the 7" LCD frame perfectly. Chop off the bottom part of the radio bezel openning, a full height of the LCD will go there.
