Amber screen swap
I'm thinking of putting an in-dash navigation screen where the amber screen is, but my climate settings are shown there. Anyone got any suggestions??

You'll simply have to move it. Extend the factory wiring and place the hvac screen somewhere. Some people place it in the glove box. Others have cut a space for it on the dash console below the receiver or just above the shifter.

Yes, some added a 7 inch monitor, others added a tablet. No easy task. I gave up on the tablet, and I am doing some research on the monitor to mirror my android phone. There is another thread that shows picture from the ac display relocation

Thanks! I was thinking it was probably the best way to go as well (didn't want to put it in the glove box either or cut the factory plate above the shifter).
On another note of a possible screen replacement...
A friend of mine pointed this device out to me - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...ynx-MAD11.html
It would be awesome to integrate this with a 7" screen; the whole package would fit in the top dash area. Additionally, it'd be easier to set up a reverse camera system. Drawbacks? No GPS or built in bluetooth. Poop. There are cheaper options on Amazon as well if you look up android box or android computer.
If only it had GPS~

That box isn't worth it without the built in GPS, Gyroscope, and Bluetooth, if you ask me.

Thanks, believe me there was waaayy too much cutting and sanding I didn't put into perspective. This took a lot longer than I thought and came with a lot of trial and error. Overall it came out ok. I got another idea I'm going to try with the bottom piece though.

Damn , man, I thought you were gonna use Velcro!

You guys gave me so many great ideas and tips so, I'll like to share what I've done so far... the cutting part was the hardest but once I figured out what I was doing it worked out....I took a single din and a double din and joined them. the vinyl I got from ebay.

Has anyone made or found a mount that attaches to the inside of the screen? I recall seeing it in another thread recently where they made a magnetic mount for a Ford Focus. I tried shoving my Galaxy Tablet in there, and it didn't fit.
