As for double din, Wired got it. Basically as he said just a standard size. 1 din is what most radios take up. That 7" by a couple of inches radio is a single. Some cars use 1.5 din radios usually because who wants a 1.5 din radio, why would you steal it?! So double din, is just 2 of those openings put together. That's all.

Then the point for screens, is that if you get a screen that basically fits a double sin opening, the amount of fabrication is greatly reduced because the manufacturer already made a good looking hole for 2 din size. If you get a 8" screen then you are gonna have to hack up the factory bezel, so a lot more fabrication is required...

regarding that 2 din mention earlier in this thread....IT'S AWAILBLE IN NORWAY NEXT WEEK!!!

Could you post a link of the online shop???

Does it sell in Europe??

I think they do...but not sure.

Alpine and Pioneer manage to do it (although Kenwood and Clarion have not). Their 2DIN nav unit contain the screen, optical drive, amplifier, HDD, power supply, CPU, radio and screen motors. Doesn't seem impossible to me, nor cost THAT much...

a FULL computer.

The units that alpine et. al. manufacture use a very stripped down computer.

We're going to stock in the mp3car store them when they become available. Right now they aren’t ready yet and I’ve been burned before so I’m not going to count on a on time release.

Zip-Lock: any thoughts yet on providing a transflective upgrade on them if everything else pans out?

well there is new pictures on the site if you want to see them.
