besides not being roadworthy if you remove it...? i'd hate to see what your insurance would do if you had an accident and a passenger was badly hurt or killed...

Atleast he/she would be watching a movie and not notice the impending accident

Otherwise you need to run the standard power cables, cut a hole in the dash, make custom brackets, make a custom facia etc...

Is your AU actually fitted with dual front airbags, or just the steering wheel airbag??

u could always take out the air bag, use the front facia, carefully not setting off the air bag, cut a 7" screen size (or what ever) and use that as the facia, and just make a custom bracket behind that to hold the unit

u would still need power rca and such tho, i like the idea tho, wouldnt do it my self due to wanting to live in an accident rather then watching fast n furious close and having it in smashed in my face

cheers
