Yes, looks ridiculous stuck ontop of the dash and blocking oem screen. too much afterthought, but kudos for the effort.

Chris, looking forward to a VIDEO as well.

As I previously suspected, this is a real kludge. Unless it is fully integrated into the existing Comand display, it is useless. With the OEM display blocked, how do you view the temperature settings? How do you view the seat settings? How do you activate the seat massage functions? How do you select a desired Sirius radio station without the display?

This looks fantastic!!! So is it a touchscreen only or can it be controlled with the Command controller? Since the screen is inside where the original screen was, it might be a little far to safely reach in while driving. It's not a deal breaker for me, but, just asking.

I assume steering wheel controls and the volume "dial" on the center console all work as well
