Yeah, we all know about the current single DIN unit that's on the market now but I just spotted this over on DA:
http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showthread.php?t=75957
Hopefully, it isn't plagued with the lag the current single DIN unit has but there's finally an option that doesn't involve heavy amounts of fabrication.

If this is of much better quality and performance compared to the previous kit, it definitely warrants consideration Smiley... Good find, Z.

Once it is released I think I'll finally throw this Chinese navi unit in the garbage and make the switch to something new.

It's still ugly in my opinion. I'd still rather put a double din in the lower compartment. Good find though.

Yes its ugly but for the sake of those that get double din head units for navigation (among other things), having it low isn't safe.

I'd probably pick it up just to see if it's as bad as the original single din set up. It would be a good piece to use in the interim while I'm fabricating a new upper mount for a touch screen set up I have.

Ok, I'm a little surprised. This isn't as ugly as I had previously thought. Any word on a release date?

This thing is useless. I thought part of the point was being able to keep the cubby and cubby door.

No release date yet according to metra (I emailed and asked).  

IIRC you HAVE to use their lower pocket because the door to the OEM cubby won't open with the upper metra kit installed.

Honestly, I could deal with the ugly upper kit.  What I don't like is the lower cubby.  Looks like shit, and no door?  Seriously?  That's going to look pretty bad installed I think.
