    how can i fit a touchscreen here?

    The AC/ Heat controls can be moved. so i was thinking of relocating that where the cigerette ash tray is and then get rid of the current head unit and replace it with a touch screen. any suggestions?

    EDIT: stick it up your ***!

    big hammer and then lots of glue!

    do you need the vetns above the HU? screen would be best as high as possible.

    you could even put the screen up there and lose the HU. Or move the HU down if you want to keep it and relocate the heater controls.

    the vents cant be moved unless i block it off from the front and cut a hole of some sort and have the air come out on the top of the dash haha, i dont really need the HU so i can get rid of that.

    I would just block off the vents instead of rerouting, and put the sceen where the radio and vents are (maybe a 10" would fill the space nicely.)
