The process won't be any longer or harder than installing a CarPC in the RX-8 or installing a headunit/nav or nav only unit in any other car.

Cuz I remember that someone installed the Factory NAV system to his 8, and it required him to take out almost every thing in the car (rear seats, etc)

No... not stock navi. aftermarket... thus "nav only"... like in the catalog pics or "headunit/nav" like the 2DIN units from Alpine, Pioneer and Clarion.

And it looks like i was wrong. It'll play DVD-ROMS but not DVD Video which makes no sense.

The AVIC-D2 unit will play DVDs through a DVD Changer or remote-mount DVD Player or Playstation2, XBox, 3rd source. The unit does not play DVD video's directly, but it does play DVD-ROM and DVD NAVIGATION discs

If we had a decent place to put it, it might be a done deal for me.
Oh and the price is great too.
Personally, i'm looking at doing some kind of carputer/nav combo so I can integrate a hymee scanalyser into the thing as well so inputs are what I'm after.

I've been looking for a aftermarket NAV system for a LOOOONG time. but sadly 8 is not mod friendly at ALLLLLL. STupid HU is one good example.
I really wish some bright minds here can figure something out .... like which one works which one doesnt .... and Im too dumb to find out(more like lack of HU knowlege)

It's simple... not technical... just simple logic. See the specs in the links I posted for US nav systems. If those specs fit the ones I posted here for screen size used in Japan... then that system will work.

1. This supports a 7" or so screen, but is it just a moveable mount or is it actually really cool and mechanized? Hell is the mount even included?
2. 1 DIN, 2 DIN, no din, just a den?
Im psyched about this because i *really* wanna do carpc stuff but before now the route to go was jack someo- er buy a nav screen mount n all. The major appealing factors for it were the mechanized movement with tilt etc., and also that it conformed so well to the cabin. What do you guys think in comparison with regard to these two items?

If I had seen this thread before, I would be definitely on the "I want one of those so badly I think I wet myself" list......so please count me in 
I see that your order is already on its way, but please please pretty please hold on to one piece for my 8...7" LCDs will fit OK, right ?
I see that the item is not listed yet, so could you let us know as soon as you have it in your hands ? And a small description of how it will work....Thanks
Shipping to Greece ? Ah, we'll discuss details later....

We haven't put it on the site yet because I need to calculate what it will cost and also I want to get some real life pics instead of a drawing.
