I am looking to put one in mine and I would like to understand the pros and cons of doing this. And, if it is even necessary given the double din setups that are on the market as well as the special consoles being produced by our vendors.

This is my setup. I did a lot of research before I decided on this Alpine system. I wanted to keep my stock radio with everything working and have a clean OEM look. DD units require a lot of changes to the dash but offer a lot more features. All have pros and cons so take your time and do some research before buying anything. Good luck
Here is what I did. Depo racing boost and fuel gauge with high power led light wired to a Zublin smart shift. All adorned in carbon fiber. https://youtu.be/MXdJ7CLeJjg

I went back and fourth on the nav pod. But compared to my ugly clock set up, it was the way to go. Really updates the interior. FYI, the shift light goes off long before redline when in gear. Just different when parked. I have about 2 seconds to shift after the light illuminates.

I gotta thank Wade from SOS for selling me this nav pod brand new for 160 dollars when purchasing my Advan wheels. They hook it up on larger orders...

Oh and I cannot forget Gary W for selling me his old zublin.... Much thanks brother!
It looks pretty cool. But completely non oem'ish and looks as though the gauge pod was drilled or 3m taped to the dash. Cool concept, but in my opinion if you have more than about 8 gauges, good luck looking at them all when under throttle...
It's just the top three that I monitor. the other two are for diagnostics if faults occur.
Yeah I don't particularly like oem and the centre console came to me in such a bad state there was no going back
The gauge pod was custom made to the shape of the nsx dash so whilst not oem. It's a lot smaller and flows a lot better than the oem nav pod. Which is huge and sticks out like a sore thumb
Yeah I was going to go with the is impact one but it ends up being about 3 times the price with the import taxes I have to pay. Sure thing bud
I didn't wanna drill the dash, hence the cable coming out the side (wanted to make sure I could go back to stock at any time) I wouldn't have even attempted this if it wasnt for the fact it came butchered from japan (it was seriously a mess)
Much props for all the creativity on this thread, some very nice installs here!
In our first try to make the Apple iPad mini work with the JDM NAV POD, we built a housing with a magnetic trim ring to remove the iPad mini when not in use. The original design served the purpose but made it slightly too big. We are going to make a second attempt with no trim ring so this should save a lot of size/space and make it smaller.
Our DD headunit is trimmed in one of our custom dash trim pieces that reduces glare to make it readable.
We did the a SoS nav pod in our car too and utilized the LCD for our Surround Eye 360-degree camera system that gives complete visibility around the car. Excellent for entering driveways and parking spots!

Can anyone provide details as to how the SOS screen mounts to the Navpod? Looking through various DIYs with Garmins or Tablets folks seem to be using silicon and I'm wondering if there's a better way? How does the stock NAV screen mount? Any help is appreciated.
