That's the only issue.. I would need to do quite a bit of custom work to fit another din sized deck into the focus opening..

Lately I've been trying to stealth install as much of the stuff I have hanging on the dash as possible. I installed an IP bus (Pioneer) interfaced XM receiver system so I can control and view all my XM radio stuff on the pioneer deck without a big ugly receiver sitting on one of my vent mounts. Likewise, I have an ipod that I aux-in into the deck and that sits in front of yet another vent mount which I want to remove. Pioneer is actually releasing an IPOD interface adapter this year (Alphine already has one in the market). Using the adapter, the head unit can control and play tracks/playlists from your ipod and display all the relevant information and charge the unit as the same time.

I believe this is the way to go for anybody thinking about doing an mp3 install (Pioneer and Alpine HU's only...)
