That would be a bit low to be able to easily view the display, but it would be something. I took apart the dash last night and it looked like it could fit, but it'd probably have to be at an angle.

But then I did some more googling this morning, and found this:


It replaces the factory climate controls and nixes the volume/tuner knobs so that a DIN unit can fit in. I'm pretty sure this means I'd lose the SD and CD/DVD drives, but maybe with the help of a display extender, I could come up with something where the disembodied empeg display tilts up to reveal those slots underneath.
