Default C6 touchscreen?

Anyone knows if this touchscreen would fit on a C6?

http://store.mp3car.com/ProductDetai...Code=MON%2D004

The fact of a computer on a C6 is really intriguing, I would like to see if I can get it working. If that screen won't fit is there another one that would?

Thanks,
Martin.

thats the monitor i have in my car. it should fit in your double din slot with little modification. on that site they do have a double din mount for a wrx's double din opening. you should take some measurements to see if itill fit. also, i believe the guy who makes the h/u mounts that dave sells has a chevy specific touchscreen mount for a double din opening.

Is this what you're talking about http://store.mp3car.com/ProductDetai...Code=DSH%2D012? What kind of measurements do I need to do? I did some rough estimates and figured it wasn't going to fit. Also, what sort of modifications would I be looking at?

Do you have any more information about the chevy mount?

yup, that's the one
i guess you'd have to get measurements for the stock nav bezel opening and the width of the stock radio.

Width 7.75"
Height 4.375"
Depth ?

Thanks to Dan (TheKomoman) for the measurements.

It looks like the bezel is okay, but the touchscreen may not fit (7.75" x 4.75"). What do you all think?

I got the other measurement from Dave (Audio Dave) and it doesn't look good.

stock opening:
width 7.75"
length 4.375"
depth between 7" to 7.5"

bezel size:
W(7") x H(4.3") x D(7.8")

Either I can find something else or I can just get an eclipse head unit instead? What do you guys think?
