What's the biggest, flush screen we can fit?

Biggest, flushest touch screen? As much physical screen as we can fit in there?

I figure using a normal double din and utilizing the entire 'cutout' area, with something very thin for a border ideally. Mounting would likely have to happen from the rear, imputs would be preferred from the rear also.

Anyone with good suggestions on a viable screen, probably going to run Car PC on it.

Any imput is appreciated, I'm very newb at custom installs so apologies if this is an impossible question.

If you're willing to pick up some JDM climate controls and relocate them into the center armrest console or the glovebox, (which isn't as crazy or stupid as it sounds, since you can just set it at like 72 and not need to touch it often) you could probably put a 10" screen in portrait orientation by just making a frame out of the factory radio trim.

Hmm that is a really intersting and creative idea, thanks man! I am still undecided whether to try and 'router' a custom cutout from the stock trim or pay the IMO silly high price for a double din.

Also a newb question, can we not just swap the buttons from the chinsy metro one to the original ones by swapping boards or something? I would never use that metro kit on this car for that reason only

easiest would be a 7" in the double din or the cubby pocket. But the skies the limit, depends on your fabrication skills or how much you want to pay a fabricator.

Here's a example from a 350z. I would suggest going to mp3car.com. You can see pictures of a lot of other people's projects and get some ideas.
