Can you put a in dash ont he bottom of the radio?

[theecoupeman]

you guys think i can install my in dash on the bottom of my radio like where you can push the thing up and down. ive seen it done on the old maximas on top of the radio and it looked good cuz u can hide it by covering it. What do u guys think?

I've thought about that myself. Even saw a Youtube video to where a guy did something similar.

yea man when i saw that i was like dam thats a good idea cuz u can just push the cover down and hide it..i hope someone has done it before or knows how to do it..

[losenone]

Yes you can, ive seen it done before. One of the guys from HIN had his coupe with a double DIN on the bottom and still kept the stock radio.

A/V forum.

I would like this, but I would have no use for the stock radio and would want something else there

well it would have to be custom fabbed in there... i grabbed the left, right, and rear brackets used in the Bose w/ Navi model, and used those to install the silver glove box w/ ask tray and opening for the 6 disc changer that comes with the navi models..

from there, I custom cut an opening into the front of that, and installed a single din unit with dvd player and monitor in there... i then secured it around the chasis using the rear mounting stud on the back of the stereo...

sounds complicated, but it wasn't really...

in any case, you'll need to custom fab something there depending on exactly what you wanted to do (single din, doube din, etc)

here's what mine looks like...

I wouldn't mind seeing how he did that either

I bought it as a seperate piece... a lot of these prices have gone up a bit over the last year... when I bought it, it was only $38 brand new... now, the same part goes for $55 from the online dealer at :
