There has just GOT to be a way to get the empeg in there, too. Looking at all the space you've got behind that console, it looks like it would be fairly easy to scoot the nav down and put the empeg above it.

When I say "fairly easy", I mean in relatively easy in terms of doing custom bracket work and making a custom wood fascia.

Heck, maybe even just put the empeg under the nav unit. Looks like there should be room where that little wood panel is. You might have to move the gearshift to insert/remove the player, but that's better than hiding the player away.
