Thread: Altima and In dash Video

Hello,

This post is going to caontain some serious newb questions. If they offend you then stop reading now please.

Just got back from Iraq and purchased an 03 Altima 3.5 SE. This has the Bose 6 disk Cd changer head unit built in dash from factory. (I think you call it a double din given it is a thick radio)

I want to replace this factory radio with a flat screen Monitor DVD player with navigation unit.

Something like this :

Hope that pic shows up because i am not good at this kind of stuff.

My problem is my dash has an odd shaped factory radio and according to the people at Best Buy, Circuit City, Sound Advice, and 2 small family shops in my area, they do not make an after market kit to put a flat screen into an altima.

Possible to fabricate it? I have a hard time believing that they dont sell after market install kits for a car that is hugely popular.

I simply want a 7 inch or so size touch screen monitor in the dash. I want it to have Sattelite radio, DVD, and prefferably be a touch screen. Ipod hook up is pretty optional.

is this something I will be able to do with this car? Is going the carputer route something I actually should be doing instead? Still not sure what exactly it is anyway.

Frustrated beyond belief with local shops in this area of florida.
