Trying to figure out what I should do with my nav screen in my S at the moment and figured more minds on the job may bring up more options than I can come up with.

I have the full JDM spec navigation system in my car but its never actually powered up in the time i've had it because the previous owner disconnected it. I've never bothered to get it powered up as its useless in the UK and is all in japanese.

So the question is, what would you fit instead of the screen? I've had thoughts along the lines of: Buying a sat nav with a similar sized screen and retro fitting it into the oem surround or building some sort of pc setup into the navigation housing in the boot with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse system and a screen in the OEM housing

I'd really like the screen to display data from the AEM EMS but i'm not sure if that is possible without a computer. I know HKS have the CAMP system which is able to take data from the cars sensors and display it on a screen but is there anything else out there that can do this aswell?

Any input into this at all will be gratefully received

I'll put some measurements up shortly to show what i'm playing with....

Android tablets are pretty cheap nowadays.

Cheers for the link i'm sure i've browsed through that at some point before but it was good to refresh the memory.

I'm going to get on the hunt now for a screen that will fit nicely in the OEM recess. In case anyone is bored and fancies searching aswell the dimensions required are:




Or the other option is to gut the Alpine housing and fit a slightly smaller screen in there. the dimensions of that are:



Which would sit inside:




And what my table looks like atm:

Can you not fit a 7" screen behind the OEM housing? Alpine offer a few options in this size

My plan is to fit a car pc running Centrafuse in there.

Just haven't got started yet

I might take the plunge too Bharat. Go Tuning sell the OEM housing for RHD cars- I'm tempted to order one. I might fit an integrated Sat Nav or go all out and fit a fully pimped Alpine system.

Keep me in the loop mate !

Looks like an Archos 7 media player / internet tablet is the perfect size to fit in the hole. Thinking it can be hooked up to play the sound through the car stereo and i'll also be able to hook up a bullet camera and external mic and record straight to the 160gb hard drive.

Yep I'd do a screen that fits the original housing with a car PC and then run XBMC with a touchscreen skin or something along those lines. I really wish I had the JDM dash with satnav cutout, as a car PC is something I've wanted in my S for ages!
