Default Slide down radio screen?

has anyone tried a slide down radio screen?

this one looks like it would fit the oem single din and have room to even angle down a tiny bit.

I was looking around for the same answer....consensus seams to be "cut that dash board!"

I suppose if you removed the radio door it might fit. I haven't measured it yet but I'm considering purchasing that as well.

If you have an iphone then this might be a good compromise:

The one thing I hate about the S2000, can't fit a double din let alone any kind of screen. I hope this works.

Found some clever alternatives:

About as good as your gonna get fitting a touch screen in a single DIN on a s2000:

Sun visor:

Replace rearview mirror with invisible until active built in screen:

all those screens r indeed really nice.
but u can't see anything under the sun.

the screen it's really kinda cheap.
even a legit brand made can't give u good vistbility under sun.
u will need some good IPS screens, such as Ipan retina display or the HD Android tablet screen, they can be really bright n good under sun.

IPS would be nice....unlikely to get it without using a tablet or spending a boatload of cash. That visor screen might be enough since it would be pointing downward.

Let's also keep in mind that an s2000 with a bunch of easily seen toys is asking to be messed with since it can't exactly be hidden. I scaled back some of my crazier ideas for screens after a co-worker told me of a guy casing his car for weeks on end to get them goodies.
