cpt_koolbleenz: I did the bezel myself. I first stripped the complete lilliput screen and only used the internals (otherwise it wouldn't fit nicely enough). I made a wooden frame to fit into the "double din" space. A very thin layer of black "fineer" (=dutch) was glued onto the wooden frame.

That's so cool, I'm going to have to look into a custom system to get that from my installer. That said, any interest in my Nakamichi deck and DIN 5 disc changer should let me know so when the time comes, I can upgrade mine and you can upgrade yours...

DFASTEST,
Do you know the model number of the component you have installed in your lower DIN? The reason I ask is because I like to know how much depth is really possible. From my measurements there should be ~6-6.5inches of depth possible if one takes a dremel to the bracket on the inside.
Thanks.

Frank, what did you do for mounting? Do you just use the holes under the ash tray?

I have it setup so I can put screws in the middle of the bezel, but they have to go in from the backside (will be hard to get to if I use them)... It is pretty "in there" the way it is now with only two screws...

Frank@Work

I have only use the two screws near the ash tray/shifter. The weight of the screen is keeping it in place.

There will only be insterest if it comes with spare vacuum tubes

cpt_koolbeenz

I got plenty of those... Thousands! Just in case anyone needs some to with it

No, really though, I have access to just about any tube you could ever need. Lol

RK951, I believe it's an M45. Hope it helps. Doesn't matter. If you are thinking about mine, it will come with the mounting plate, all brackets and covers if and when I sell it...

I'm not interested in buying yours rather I'm trying to determine the depth available in the lower DIN. My installer here believes he can fit a double DIN Nav unit like the Alpine IVA-W200 or Pioneer AVIC-Z1 head units. I asked for the model number of the component you have installed so I could determine its depth. Who is the vendor for "M45" and is it a head unit, tapedeck etc?

DFASTEST951

It's a Nakamichi and only certain dealers carry them so I don't know who would carry them in Cali. I'm sure your installer can get one if he wanted to. It's a CD player.

Frank: Did you design that Road Runner OS yourself or is it available on the open market? Details please! It looks very sharp.
