There isn't one. You can get a flip-out screen model but the in-dash screens are double DIN and our dash has a 1.5 DIN opening. There have been several threads about modifying the trim panel to fit a double DIN head unit but it's not particularly easy. If you decide to do that, the Pioneer Avic-Z2 is probably one of the best.

The single din nav units aren't particularly attractive...
They stick out like an inch.
Someone needs to start selling fiberglass panels to fit the double din units...and since I don't have a 4th gen. I call not it

Verdad Gallardo I would totally do it. I just don't know how much I would sell them for, and if they would fit everyones application. Those things take major time, and if orders started piling up I think it might get ugly. I'm going to seriously think about it.

Yeah, it might be a bit much to make them out fiberglass. I wonder if you could give the panel you did to a company. Have them make a mold and do plastic replicas for you. Then you could wrap them in vinyl for a sexy look and sell em for a bundle!
Thats a good idea! Where around here is a place that does that though? Middle of nowhere Illinois that is

Do a few google searches and see where they take you.Then just sell em for what people are willing to pay. IMO somewhere around $100 for vinyl wrapped plastic would be a fair price to start at, maybe a little on the low end. I'm not really sure how hard it is to cover that piece in vinyl, seems a little tricky. If it is, then you can raise the price for the skill involved or whatever. You'd have to find out how much they cost you to make (cost of plastic, shipping, vinyl, time..) and see how much you can mark them up and still be fair.
If you got them made in black plastic (or spray paint them) you could offer a bare model at a reduced price for those who aren't incredibly worried about looks and make a quick buck.
That would be a cool thing to have someone make, reminds me of the whole HUmount thing for the single din units. Anyway, good luck if you decide to go through with it.
