Default replacing non-nav with nav to add double DIN

Crazy idea, but i really really HATE the nav in my 2018 Nismo, i went to an audio shop and they tore down the whole system and it isnt' really upgradable to keep any of the parts, including just adding a double din above the existing control knobs for aircon/heat. They suggested that I switch to a non-nav set up. different aircon/heat knobs, plus the cubby, the put in a double din system. I'm actually thinking of a single din Alpine Halo9 iLX-F309 and put it high enough to block the cubby partially.

question: has anyone ever done this? if so, did it work? anyone see any pitfalls in this.. I can save the old system and reinstall later if need be.

thanks

I think i found the thread you are referring to: DIY - Nav System Conversion

but tthis seems to be for pre 2015, the amp they talk about buying doesn't appear to exist for the 2018... anyone have any updates on this idea for a newer system?
