I'm about to purchase exactly that same gear. The part I'm trying to figure out is if I can output NAV on one screen I'd like to place in the cubby while displaying the regular stuff on the main screen. Granted, the aux screen won't be touch enabled but it would be cool to have the NAV up high.
Many modern head units provide for auxiliary screens mainly for rear seat viewing in soccer mom vans but not sure if I can pull off my idea. If this is too much of a threadjack, please disregard.

Unfortunately the DNX9990HD can't output NAV to a second screen. iPod, Video, and DVD only. Aside from this it's a great HU.

Thanks Ninja for the info. Did you have to buy any extra components such an adapter for the steering wheel control? I'm not an expert, but as I read somewhere you would need to for it to work. Is that true? Im assuming the camera fit perfectly in the little box that is removable on the bumper?

Get the Metra Axxess for steering wheel controls. It works as advertised and has minimal lag.

Yes it is true. Tap the right side of the screen to switch views, left side to turn on/off the green/yellow/red.
Didn't know that the camera mount was installed only using double sided tape. Good call, I agree I'd rather have something more permanent with a $300 camera. I can't give advice on the dash kits, haven't even heard of the non-scosche one.
I've also been wanting to put something in the cubby space as it does seem like a wasted space. Turbo boost controller down the road maybe. Don't think a nexus 7 will fit. Samsung Note 2 maybe. But for what purpose? I have the HTC DNA phone, was thinking of some kind of mount/holder.

The Metra dash kit works with a minimal gap around the screen and looks OEM, especially when used with the trim ring you get with the DNX9990HU. The contour of the dash kit around the climate controls seemed a little weird at first but after a day or two I didn't even notice it anymore.
A 7" screen like the Nexus 7 will fit the cubby. I'm not a fan of putting the Nexus 7 in this location but if it blows your hair back go for it! |
