Here's a few threads you can use for help. To help your search, next time you can search for this: +JDM+console that will bring up threads with the words JDM and console.

If you can hold out a week, I've got one coming. Its not too difficult, but I definitely know how time consuming it is figuring it out from scratch. It took me three days just to get the parts in the car the first time, now I could do it in a single afternoon. While you wait, make sure you have a phillips and flat head screw driver, basic electrical tools such as wire strippers/crimpers, crimps, 16 gauge wire, a power meter (for testing) and electrical tape. All I have to do is take off a few panels to get pictures and do a write up so it won't be too long.

is there enough room to fit an all in one navi/dvd unit in the top section of the JDM console or is there only enough space for a flat screen?

Theres not so much room up there. I have a 6.5" screen and it barely fits. I've seen all in one devices put in that spot, but you'd have to figure out fitting for yourself.

The screen is a 6.5" Farenheit. As for rarity, theres two navi consoles installed in legends in north america, one I've never seen pictures of so I can't confirm, and theres about a dozen navi consoles in north america in total. Lets put it this way, it won't be anything any of your friends have ever seen in a legend and if you take a lot of pictures of it, you may as well be the only other person with a navi console installed.

Black Type II · 06-08-07, 09:54 AM

the farenheit screen can be used with any setup or is that what the jdm consoles came with?

Pinyix · 06-08-07, 10:04 AM

It can be used with any setup. The bezel it comes with conveniently matches the dash though and fits snug with a bit of trimming. The only draw back to it is if you want to do a carputer, its not touch screen. But its the brightest screen you can buy with the highest resolution for its size. Heres what I'm going to use when I get a carputer since its not a touch screen: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826135002 So there are options.
