Once your monsoon system goes out, you have plenty of real estate to install a tray or runner set for the screen. The head unit will fit below the screen, since it is gong to move out of the way anyway.

How much are you looking to spend? There's really no way to shove 2 din sized units into the stock opening given. I think that's what you are going for right?

I'm only going to spend about 600-700 bucks on screen and head unit. I don't think they'll all fit in the center console though even though there is alot of room.. there's not enough.
If I can fit it there, then that's great, problem solved, otherwise ???

Default DVD/Screen install question

Here's the dilema:
My cousin works for Best Buy, so I'm hoping to utilize his discount to get me a dvd player/cd/mp3 and and in-dash screen.

What they had when I went there was a Sony in dash screen/ and seperate from that another unit that serves as a DVD/CD/MP3 player. Now, the screen will fit in place of the Monsoon, and will come out and flip up... but my question is; Where do I intall the player (or head unit I guess)??

I know there are systems out there (like the Kenwood) that are screen/and player all in one that will fit in dash, but unfortunately, Best Buy doesn't have it.

Suggestions? And don't tell me to buy an all in one in dash unit, cuz that isn't happening with the above scenario. Since mark up is almost 50% on car stereo equiptment, I'm going to use my cousin's discount, which limits me to what Best buy carries in stock.

Thanks guys!

Jon
