This would be bad@ss but will it work

I found this screen and dvd/cd/mp3 player and i was wondering if i could flush mount the lcd screen where the factory hu is right now and then put the cd player in my center console. Also could i put an am/fm tuner on it

Here's the url

Great idea but I would go with a better quality product than Legacy, it's cheap for a very good reason , it's crap.

thanks for the input guys. Also how much modifying of the dash would i have to do to make a monitor of that size to fit, because most of the ones in the pics were larger screens.

Thanks

Stay tuned. I just ordered a Kenwood DDX 7015 head unit. It's pretty bada$$. It's a double din, so I plan on relocating the asr and fog light switches to the little cubby hole in front of the shifter, then trimming the radio bezel and bondo/plastic weld it smooth. The finished product should be a clean factory looking install. I'm pretty psyched. I'll post pics of the entire process from beginning to end.

Would this be a better setup than the legacy monitor and dvd player. PLTVD158 - Pyle In Dash DVD Player with AM/FM Radio and remote, SSV72HR - SoundStorm 7.2" Color LCD Monitor, Clarion 6.5" 3-Way Speakers 180 Watts Max

Thanks

I would stay away from Pyle also. Look for a blaunpluckt(spelling) DVD/CD player, they can be had for fairly cheap and are good quality. I'm not sure about soundstorm.
