Let me know how moving the HVAC panel goes since I have been thinking about this for a little while now and want to move it and get the pre 98 console also for some stuff I want to put in.

Dont worry, i will try to take a lot of pics. This HVAC Panel move hopefully will work. I think i saw someone who had it moved. Does anyone know if its just lengthening the wires that is necessary?

some of the parts are not exactly wires. we have some tubes back there for some of the connections IIRC.

Here's the pic of the setup I got, just need to install the d*mn thing. Monitor will go in the factory radio DIN spot and the player will go in the little cubby below it. Its a nice setup, CD/CDRW/VCD/DVD player with AM/FM tuner and full UHF/VHF TV tuner for channes 2-69.

Soon to be the fastest proven Zetec around.

I actually got it for about $260 bucks at a car show. It was brand new in the box. Heres a little glimpse into what it will look like. Im gonna try to find a pre98 console this weekend. From the pic it looks bigger than the opening but it really is just perfect for fitting in there.

you would be my hero if you could get that to work and still look close to "factory". imagine if that was a touch screen monitor and you could run the hvac controls from there...
I'm still deciding on what to do w/mine. Most likely I will go the ps2 in glovebox route with monitors in the vanity mirrors. I was hoping to go with the Alpine CVA-1006 in dash monitor but I understand that they are not the best if you're trying to have a solid SQ set-up in your car.

yeah touch screen would be way cool. i mainly wanted to go this route being as it is deffernt and will look a hell of a lot better and will be cheaper than the pop-out screens that cover the hvac panel once opened anyway. I wonder if any Head units come with a visual output that you could see on the screen, any thoughts?

I have a clarion 815, 7 inch motorized touch screen with internal cd player, dvd player in the glove box and 2 6.5 inch flip downs right behind my sun roof.. The Touch Screen is the way to go.. actually makes the system easier to use instead of just looking cool... and the look on people face when you start tapping away is great..

i personally am a fan of ones that can tuck away, good luck keeping it from being stolen otherwise. sun visors are okay, motorized dash HUs are styyyyyylish but they cost so very much, if you can do the pop up in the top middle of the dash somewhere that would be very cool, and i doubt as hard as you think, there is some considerable extra room beneath select parts of the dash
