Installing in dash screen in cubby hole vs below
 

It seems most install the in dash screen below the cubby hole. Is there any benefit to this? Seems it would look better above.

It would be a lot more visible to thieves for one. And you would have to do a massive amount of fabrication to put it in the cubby to get it to mount soundly.

I wouldn't recommend it. You'd be spending a lot of effort for something that just screams, "Steal me".

There is not enough depth on the top cubby hole unless it is just a screen only. If not you will need to modify the ac ducts and see if you can get enough space back there.

Well said, i couldnt say it any better than that.:tup:

If you put it in the cubby, seems like it would be less visible to me. If you kept the door anyway. I really dislike the whole cubby thing and am trying to figure out how I could get a navi set up in there to make it look less cheap. Once I get my Z that is. One beautiful day.

If you search this has been asked before. Simply put there is not enough room to put a unit on top

If you dont have a Z yet and it bothers you that much just get one with the factory nav... no cubby.. completely clean and flush integration.. and zero incentive for thieves to try and steal.

Ya but you better read this carefully before jumping on board about that PITA factory nav.

You could do this.

Tablet Dash

that's nice, I would actually like to keep the lip, and be able to swing up higher when I use it.

Looks cool. Any daytime pics?

This and modifying the AC ducks is not something I would recommend.

That is the first screen I actually like in the cubby. :tup:

Just did this over last weekend and the car is in storage for the winter. Ill have some more day time photos once the snow melts :icon14:

That is so nice! Wish I was that handy!
