Custom In-Gauge Monitor Install Questions
My thought is to put a secondary monitor where the NAV unit would have been, if my model would have been equipped with it.
There's a great thread detailing the install while retaining the factory computer settings, which answered a lot of questions. I'm going to following that install, but take it a step further. I want to use the video output from headunit to display on a second monitor mounted in the center gauge. I want to keep the project as stockesque as possible.
My questions are:
Thanks!

My questions are:
- Has anyone done this and have any insights?
- What are the measurements of the opening?
- Is there enough depth to mount a screen only? Probably about 1.5-2" needed.
- Is there a glass covering over the screen area where the NAV unit would be, or is that open for touch screen?
- I've looked around at junkyards and found the outer part of the gauge from the NAV unit. Is this just a simple connection to the existing plugs for the speedo, fuel gauge, and warning lights?
Thanks!
