Is there a way to make a cover for the in-dash navi like the deck lid at the bottom?

I want to cover everything and open when I want to.

 

Bravo Zulu!

 

[QUOTE=w0rdie,May 29 2007, 03:30 PM]Very nice work.

I must say though, If I was going to go through all the trouble of installing an inDash touch screen I would have just thrown a CarPC in the spare tire well and ran Vista with iPod/Nav/SatRadio/Etc.

 

how much time and money did this set up cost you?

 

Less than $1000 for all the parts and supplies, and maybe ~100hrs designing, fabricating, and installing the whole system from start to finish.

I did it a little at a time over 5 months or so. Sanding the bezel to shape was the hardest part and probably accounts for several dozen of those hours

I had a blast doing it though, but probably won't have that much spare time for a long time now that I've graduated and will be back in the real world again

Here's a better pic from this weekend....

 

That looks amazing- DO MINE! Seriously...

 

What DVD based navigation did you use? I have been looking for one but all they have are the double din or flip up. I want to do an LCD screen like you with a seperate navagation unit.

 

Thanks for posting this! I am doing a similar install with the Alpine HU in September (Hopefully).

 

looks amazing i want one.. would you be willing to do a group deal on the bezel?
