Yes, any 7" screen will fit the metra kit. Every screen will also require a little bit of trimming to fit. Good luck on your project!

On another note I've been doing mad software config for a super fast, super small XPE install. Ive got an image im pretty happy with but im still working on it because i want it perfect for deployment. Im debating about waiting for deployment due to the number of new lightweight fast frontends starting to surface. Either way I got the hard part out of the way and that was configuring a windows install that never writes to the drive its installed on. Im still looking into a HQCT module also. If i get a hold of the radi omodule soon I can have a full functioning carPC that has no 'standard' harddrive. Everything will run from flash and It will have navi, cd, dvd, am, fm. The mp3's will be on another USB drive. Due to the size of the maps in IG3 ill only be able to put about 6-7 states of data on the flash. (unless I upgrade) Anyway having a great time with this hobby still. Im going to pull the unit out of my car for a week or two (and reinstall the 'blah' OEM radio) while I deploy the embedded OS and complete the new software. Im also upgrading the screen when its pulled. Heres that hardware i picked up today.
