Flip up nav w/ stereo relocation kit

[Blaze]

Has anyone done a nav system with a stereo re-location kit?

I added a craig hardy gauge panel to the car and relocated the stereo below where the OE gauges/cubby hole are. I see a big issue with a flip up din striking the dash. I don't want to make an unsightly adaptor if I can avoid it. But I wanted to see if anyone else has done this, how and which what brands?

Also, I'm not interested in running the double din system as it would eliminate my existing gauge panel which takes precedence over my audio woes.

Thanks in advance,

Blaze

why would you want you do that? even if you want to, you can't anyway because of the angle, you won't beable to flip the NAv screen all the way up/back.

rob had it done with the stereo relocation kit in his evo before... kind've low... visibility is perfectly fine for the driver and passenger... passenger's knee may bump into it on occasion though...

BTW, who did the install and was there any customization required??

^^nope just get the relocation kit and you should be ok.

oh yeah, I forgot if you are going to do this yourself make sure that the wires don`t get tangled in the back `coz space is limited. O0

i did the install myself and did not use the brackets included in the reloc kit......just use the sleeves that came with the navi unit and the bolt that attaches to the back of the unit for support.

Just curious, but would the deck installed in the stock location be better with the flip up screen? I can understand the gauges are easier to access, but from all accounts... My understanding is that the factory gauges aren't too accurate to begin with????

I'd prolly leave the deck up top, so I'd get to enjoy the screen more....

[Blaze]

Yes, it'd be much easier all around to put it where the OEM stereo fits.
However, I have a gauge cluster installed there that I don't otherwise care to relocate. Which is why I want to mount a unit below with the relocation kit.

So many wires, I wish I wasn't color blind.....

Do you really need to buy the relocation kit? Someone on evom yesterday was saying they moved their radio without one.

i put a flip up dvd in my wifes evo with the stereo relocation kit. you can view it fine and im 6ft1 and i havnt had a problem bumping it at all. i had to somewhat adjust the deck slightly out and i couldnt use the original mounting hardware i had to get creative. but you can install it. and make it work perfectly

bringing this up from the dead, when the screen's coming out does it hit the shift knob?
