Mounting a Carpuride screen

If you see the image I feel this is the optimum position for the screen. Ignore cables it will be hard wired.

Any thoughts on how I could go about this with a tidy looking finish?

I have seen air vents been removed before for a double din conversion. Would you block them off in the dash and let them blow into the dash cavity?

(Admin please remove post in wrong area)

OK, I'll post here too.

You can no longer see the flip up screen anyway, so why not look into removing that and fitting the new thingummy up there?
Tbh, at the moment it looks a bit 'bodgeuride'.

I run a Sony touchscreen in the radio position. Got a blanking plate with a mount.
Left the vents as they are.
Also I removed my old Nav screen from the dash as it has no use. I replaced with a dash cubby from the X3

With the buttons on speedo cluster

I still think I would like to control the DSP settings, I guess you cant have the best of all worlds. I can fully understand why you have done what you have.

Not sure if yours is a head unit replacement from your pictures, I ended up mounting my SPH-EVO62DAB as a replacement for the head unit and leaving the vents above. (The cable has since been routed behind the dashboard to come out by the driver's vent for phone.) The single-DIN fascia I had doesn't fit with this head unit, keep meaning to model & print up something to blank it off but haven't yet bothered.
