I think it was called the Safety View (not positive) I bought it at Sam's Club figuring if I didn't like it I could take it back easy because their return policy is so lax. It was like $79 plus tax. It was down the automotive aisle with the oil and stuff, and they had a boat load of them. Like a whole pallet of them.
It was tricky figuring out where I wanted to mount a 7 inch screen, it's actually pretty big. I ended up bending and shaping the metal base plate and fitting it in the middle cupholder (I don't have the center floor shifter console) and the screen sits right below the ***** for my climate control.
I also have a gps installed in the corner of my winshield, but it doesnt have av input. If you could find one of those for a good price and do like the guy above did, I would think that would be even better. I didn't even know the garmins had that feature. But for the ease of set-up and the cheap price of mine, I like it a lot. Plus the screen has av inputs so u can use a dvd player or something if you want.

I would love to use the speaker phone but after to many years on the range I can't hear it at all. So does anybody know how hard or how much it costs to have the bluetooth Uconnect feature added to the standard radio? Thanks.

Looks really nice down there by the cup holders. I assume you cant use the cup holders anymore? or does it stay out of the way? I think i am going to try and mount it right where you have your sunglasses, that little storage space above the radio. I usually put my glasses there when i have my sunglasses on, but those can get relocated.
