harrisjohn6 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I have the 4.3 Uconnect w/o Satellite or Bluetooth. I am looking into replacing the stereo with a Nexus 7 now that Nav-TV has a steering wheel blue tooth control adapter. I want my dash modded so that it looks OEM installed so I have no problem with losing the 4.3 screen. My only problem with replacing the factory stereo is once I remove the screen I lose a lot of function with the HVAC controls. Is there a center/lower stack that can replace what I would lose by removing the screen? Will the screen function any if I removed the stereo? There is not much room to place the tablet, and I will be using it for Navigation, Audio, and all around entertainment, so the current position of the 4.3 screen is ideal.

Lebowski Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 You can't remove the stereo at all (many functions depend on it), however you could relocate the screen in the lower compartment: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Or, if you fabricate a new bezel, you can lower the 4.3 screen (i.e., in place of the storage compartment), and IIRC that should give you enough space for a 7" screen above the 4.3" one.

harrisjohn6 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks for that video, I had not thought of that. I'll have to show this to the shop I have lined up for my install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
