To be totally honest, at this point Rich really needs definite pre-orders to get the ball rolling on the v2.0.

It will be the V1 with improvements. The bezel "sticks out" to shield the screen from the sun and to cut down on glare as much as possible. The JDM bezel was used as a reference and the design was improved upon.

Please tell me the new revision will have not just an improved material but design as well?
NOTE: If you decide to purchase the JDM 2-din bezel as shown from Japanparts.com, u must specify that u want it to have the clips to replace your existing panel. otherwise they might send you the panel with double-sided tape b/c its just an accent panel,. i made that mistake and lost over $150 when i had to re-sell mine to someone in the UK b/c Japanparts.com refused to take mine back.

we have ONE pre-order ticket sold.

unless we get this distribution account together or have some decent commitment from you guys, this V2 isn't happening.

that's correct.

we designed our kit with our own proprietary 2-DIN to make it more cost effective and functional for you guys. the mitsubishi 2-DIN piece is twice the price of ours and doesn't feature any kind of glare protection for the screen.

if you want to spend 2x the price on your setup, that's fine. special order the orbital HVAC bezel from us for $195, then visit japanparts.com and spend $250+ on the mitsubishi 2-DIN bezel as well as an additional $150+ for an overlay.
