you need the hvac aspect of it...which is currently a diy only project since no one offers a replacement part for the lower cubby to hold the hvac...since orbital went out of business

please correct me if im wrong - the pic he attached is using the galant hvac conversion...

or you can go to the diy route: get the radio relocation kit from lancershop, move the hvac down where the lowe cubby is and cut cut cut shape shape shape out the control bezel from your older center panel....

thats the lilliput screen. that picture you saw was also just a screen. you would have to build a car pc and the works. you need windows on the pc with some type of carpc software. all that info is on mp3car.com which im guessin you have been to. if you have questions just ask.

I just got a new in dash from my fiancee' for my birthday yesterday. Its a 7" double with everything. Its touch screen, blue tooth enabled, navi, ipod, and streaming from a laptop. It has way more options also that's just a few.

Im now wondering what Im going to do for installing it. I use the triple gauge pod in the lower cubby. So I think that is going to have to go. For the dash piece Im thinking Im might make my own out of my stock one and some fiberglass.

u can move ur triple gauges to a pillar...ur gonna have to relocate ur hvac controls to where ur gauges are now and have to cut ur old bezzel to fit it in the lower cubby to cover those controls..if u dont make ur own upper dash piece u can order the double din dash piece on from japanparts.com...let me know if ya got any other ?'s i just got done relocatin mine for my 7" now im just waitin for the dd upper piece..should be here any day
