Hey guys:

Just wondering if anyone has any experience installing custom screens in the dash storage compartment that resides above the double-din radio.

I am thinking about doing two things

1) Installing a nice touch-screen navigation system in the existing double-din radio slot along with new speakers, etc.

2) Removing the dash storage compartment, and installing this in its place:

2Din Car PC Mini ITX SE | Custom Car Computers

My questions are:

How much room do I have in and around the dash glove box to work with? Will a double DIN radio sized device fit there? My biggest concern here is the depth, as it's impossible for me to determine how much room I'd have without pulling the dash apart.

Is there a pass-through of any kind from the dash storage box to the radio bay below, or will I need to cut?

How much can I expect to spend for the molded plastic and other aesthetic components this will require, as I don't want a bunch of ugly holes in the dash when it's over.

Thanks for your time!
