At this stage, I'm still prepared to part with the money to have something fit neatly into the dash that looks like it is meant be there.

Well I was going to move the factory display into top glove box, the monitor, you can make anything fit if you want it too..
I'll be heading to the install shop next week for a trial fit on a few models.
Although we've found a can-bus adaptor that will work with the steering wheel controls/ handbrake/ speed pulse/ ignition I still can't solve the system time issue which the whole car needs.
I'm left with integrating the factory system, which is fine for what I want. I'm still interested to see if someone has managed to get the signal from the factory display to work on a monitor.
Who would have thought of all things, time would be the issue!
There were a few 7" touch screens which fitted in the D3 screen space so should not be a problem to make it look factory fit. The problem is what to do with the other screen if you can't input it to the new touch screen.
We measured the space to be exactly double din.. so there are possibilities. I only say Alpine as that's what my local is pushing, I've seen a nice Clarion split system & Kenwood.
Keep us posted Robocop. How much do you think your setup will cost?
Well I've said it before, it wasn't my choice to have the lowline system, I bought my D4 off the floor. Yes I saved 5k, I'm hoping to do it for under 2k.
Pics of the brackets for my screen. Steel would be sturdier than the thin aluminium although the screen bracket sits on the dash so doesn't move much.

The plastic cover has been trimmed underneath to provide a gap for the bracket to emerge.

For in-car nav I reckon you can't go by an Android tablet running Oziexplorer, which has just been updated to version 1.1. Android tablets come in sizes from 4" (well, that's a phone) to 7" and 10.1" diagonal screens. And they do so much more than navigation.
Can you set an android tab to automatically turn on and show reverse cam?Quote:
