Of course! I'll be taking lots of pictures along the way.
I was definitely interested in installing the monitor in the Navi cubby hole, even alongside a secondary monitor where the stock radio should be, for two screen. Someone here has a Lilliput in the monitor cubby IIRC, and that's something I'd love to look into. For now though, I plan to put this touchscreen in the stock radio location. Maybe down the line I'll have my twin screen idea into fruition.
As for the MiniPC, I had two ideas. First idea would be where people do the battery relocation in the trunk, near the spare tire. They sell L-brackets that let me hard mount the MiniPC anywhere, so that would probably be the cleanest and most secure. I need to put the case together and see if it will fit, especially with the Sport pkg wheel not leaving much room.
The second option is the easy route - under the driver/pass seat. Of course, this is the most easy way to stash the comp - not to mention the space is small and useless anyway, but it's not the most clean (clean to me, at least) install location. I'll have to put some velcro on the case to stop it sliding or something.
I'm definitely leaning towards the trunk area, but worst case, I can just slide it under the seat with some velcro for the meantime. No one will notice the wiring in either scenario.
