This is true but i would just hate to think at what it is doing in the long run to your vehicle, it is all setup there for a reason and is in place and has a designed purpose, so you save $200 here but what's the cost when something goes out because a corner was cut?? Not having a dig just...

The screen alone is $1500, then you need facia, canera, wiring harness etc, niss4x4 quoted me $1400 for the lot, but i managed to score an eclipse unit from westpoint parts that was pulled out of a pathy for $1k neat, only problem is it doesn't use the factory mic in the roof or the factory usb...
