I would put a spot for a "MYFI" or another wireless broadband network. That way you can play 360 while driving & can check webmail..

I have one for my car.. 50 Bucks I think

Just a thought

Playing xbox while driving sounds safe.

All the aftermarket screens I've seen installed in the cubby look wierd IMO. The only way it looks right is if its recessed back like the factory Nav. screen. To me, the only acceptable use for that screen would be for navigation or on something that shows vehicle telemetry data. Leave the x-box at home... Fast and Furious cars don't even have them any more.

I have been looking around to see what I can do in mine. And I came upon this thing for the iPhone

Mimics

You could probably buy the module and get a modify a monitor and put it in the cubby hole...

But I have an android and I am not switching, so this is not an option for me...

I don't understand how you got Garmin navigation on that upper screen. Does your HU have Garmin with video out that allows the nav to be routed to a different screen? Or is that an actual Garmin GPS that you have in there? Or is that some kind of Garmin software that you have running on a Car PC, and if so, how did you do all of this for $30? More info needed! I'm looking for a way to get Garmin nav in my cubby area.
