I don't see the point of the lower kit if you have the upper. Were I to get it, I'd mod it to work with the cubby door. I like having a cubby.

You would have to modify a lot to do that. It seems that the double DIN would need to be moved up. As soon as this is released, I'm going to pick it up. I don't care about the cubby. I have a second touch screen that I'm going to hook up to my kpro laptop.

that makes perfect use of that second spot, and will be an awesome set up.

That upper kit doesn't look that bad. It looks like there is dual climate control. I wonder if it'll work with non-dual climate control OEM setups?? Hopefully the price is reasonable. Now to look into double-DIN units

Your thought process on the second monitor sounds bad ass but the discouraging part is how much I'd have to mod to use the cubby. Future plans may leave the modding out of the equation though.

"The actual kit will be shipping by the end of the year at the latest. It may be earlier." Straight from Metra's VP.

Not sure about the price but it looks like I'm committed. Just ordered one of these!

Good choice Ike. I'd update my head unit if the newer Alpine units still supported my audio processor.

Metra finally added the kit to their site, which I hope means they are close to releasing it. There are no details listed unfortunately.
