Sorry for not posting actual pics, but I don't have time to (I'm at work). The pics are really big. I mounted the DVD player in the center console, under the arm rest.

That is awesome, i was thinking of doing this also.. where in FL?
Questions about your mod.
1.did the DVD player fit perfectly lenght wise? or did you have to cut the console.?
2. Is you DVD player working without problem being vertical.? A guy from Audio advice said they will not last long, something to do with the laser.

Oh, and my DVD player isn't ven hooked up to my Navi yet! BTW, I'm in Ohio, but I sponsor the FGC.
Thanks for the help.. Im gonna look for a DVD player thats not so deep, i think yours measure to 8.5''.
Is the stock air bag controller on the 05 loctated in the same place as your 04? what excatly does this do?, And will it set off the air bag if i manipulate with it after I hook it back up to the Batery?

I think you will have a hard time finding a shallower DVD player, a DVD itself is not much smaller then my unit. Who knows though...
The air bag controllers is in a metal box with a harness on it. You won't hurt it by moving it, but you will need a special big security Torx bit (t45s I think). The function of the unit is to decide when and which air bags to deplay, I assume. I didn't really move it, I just unscrewed it and turned it out of my way. My airbags still work too, I can vouch for two of them from personal contact...

Oh, in addition, on my particular unit the front display was too wide to fit in, so I had to either sand down the center console, or file down the front bezel of the DVD player. With a broad file I was able to smoothly trim the bezel down enough to fit.
It took me, in total, about two days of working to get the DVD player mounted and powered up! As long as you take your time though, it wasn't too bad.

Thanks for all the help.. ill keep an update on how the install is going.
So far, A local custum shop can get me the NavTV for $399.
One of the employee also has an 03' G35 and has NavTV on his and works great.. He has his DVD mounted underneath the glove.
And the reason why I dont want to install my DVD in the lower glove box, I need to a place to put my personal protection.
