Well to begin with, turn away from Sony Xplod. They were good when they came out, now they are probably one of the worst in the market and that is not my opinion. Every store I go to, asks me to stay away from them.

Alpine or Pioneer would probably be a better bet !!

there shouldnt be an issue, because my sony screen tilts forwards..so it will face flat on the climate controls, the only thing is the actual unit in the din may have to sit a bit more forward than a usual cd player.


got some pics for ya hope it helps.

that's very similar to what i have, a front-loading dvd player/tv flip-out. mine's a no-name from ebay though, but does the job...!
