    While on this subject of deventing the middle air vents. I have always not liked the vents anyways. I would like to replace them with ones that would allow them to fully cut off. I personally do not think loosing your middle vents will mater much at all. How easy would it be to redirect the airflow or block it so that more pressure comes out of the remaining? I have been thinking about the in dash large LCD as well but would like to make sure that the middle vents cane be properly blocked.

    wouldnt really be too hard.. if you were going to do it i would recommend tracing them farther down into the dash and blocking them off as far down as you can. if you block them off right behind your dash, whatever you used to block them is still going to get hot or cold from the climate control. keep in mind if you have the same amount of air coming from your fan to a lower number of vents you are going to get more noise from your vents because the air speed will be higher

    I know that Kenny has put a double din screen in his VX, but he added a little to his dash. Check out his gallery.

    Below is my old setup from a couple years ago. It's just a motorized Monitor with 2 video inputs, one for a rear camera the other for a PS2. I've switch to a Pioneer DVD/tuner/touch screen, with extra video input for my camera. On both I used a bezel spacer to move the unit out some to keep them from hitting the dash at top when it's at it's fully open location..I'll take pic's of the Pioneer that I'm runnig now soon...

    Thanks for all the response... I'll be sure to check out the galleries... Doesn't seem like everyone tags their gallery uploads

    I'm 90% on a Double Din, May loose the middle vents in the process or possibly re-route... haven't been back there so I don't know what my possibilities are... Too bad Isuzu didn't just stack the CD Change right below the deck so we could do double din, instead of having 2 single dins...

    Thanks again!
