What DIN size is Eclipse nav?
I want to install a nav system into my C5. I know the stock Bose system is a 1-1/2 DIN. Almost all in-dash nav systems I find (Pioneer AVIC D1,D3,N1,Z1,Z2 and Kenwoods) are all 2 DIN size. I don't really want to modify my bezel. The only 1 DIN units I find are;
1) the JVC KD NX5000, but I've read that it's actually larger than 1 DIN, but not as large as 1-1/2 DIN, so a standard HUMOUNT kit doesn't quite fit, and
2) the Eclipse nav unit with the flip-up screen, but I don't want a flip-up screen that blocks the air conditioning vent.
There are 4 or 5 other Eclipse nav units that are true in-dash (i.e. not flip-up) - are all of these 2 DIN?
Any guidance from those with Eclipse nav units would be greatly appreciated.

The 7000 is flip out 1 din.
And btw, if you are gonna take the dash apart to install the head unit, you can easily move the heat/ac to the top spot and mount the flip out in the second spot (may have to cut a bracket, but very easey).
Poof, no blocked ac vent
