Clean install, looks great! Do you still have air out all the vents, or did you have to remove some ductwork?

Very nice....for years I've been back and forth on doing a navi/dvd screen install like this on my car. Everytime I convince myself that I don't need it, I end up looking at pics of those who have done it and then want to do it.

So for that, damn you.

Nice job...otherwise. How's the resolution for DVD and navigation? You haven't shipped out yet, have you ? If not, I'd love to see this in person.

Nice, but can you really read the Nav while it's facing a little bit towards the passenger side?

thanks!! no i didn't install it myself. i had abt electronics in glenview do the work since they have had experience in installing these in s2000's.

yes, i do have air coming out of all the vents. i know on some other people that did this they had to cut out and remove some of the ductwork.

Luder94 the resolution is amazing! it almost looks like its in HD! lol but yes, i am back in afghan and won't be back till like mid-end of july. when i went to the KBAB, i had it in my car already. i thought you would have seen it.

can't really notice that it angles to the right a bit, unless you really really look at it. other than that, there's no problem in reading the navi. although, there is one downside and that depends on which way your driving and which way the sun is facing. sometimes there'll be a glare on the screen and can't see anything. that is if the top is down!
