I'd advise against it, I'm still looking to get rid of a AVIC-D1 by Pioneer. There is no way you can physically make it look like stock. It looks ugly, and out of place. Now i'm wishing I did an OEM retrofit.

The installation was around 200, they did it in a couple of hours, If you are interested in going that route.

Heres a pic of my aftermarket Navi. I think it looks pretty good.

That's kinda personal don't you think?! I don't even know you

No it doesn't but If I trimed the inside of the cover it would shut. I just haven't gotten around to doing it.

They took the wood trim right off mine, I'll post a pic of mine as soon as I find the usb cable for my digi cam.

Besides mybimmer.net, does anyone else have bezels for a double din aftermarket navi?

Like to some it might not look bad, but after I seen one with an OEM system in it, I really want to fix it or fit in a retro..

I could always build mine up so the head unit is flush with the dash. But I think the option that come with my Aftermarket HU far out weighs the look of a factory unit, just my 2 cents

I could pull my headunit all the way out and rest it on the shift knob without disconnecting a wire. Not sure why your harness is so short?
