I found single DIN DVD/NAV HUs!!
I did some soul searching 
for a single DIN touch screen DVD player with or without NAV and found these two brands. There is a local shop who sells the Farenheit brand. These units are also reasonably priced, but I can't find any user feedback about them (it seems they are fairly new) So, for those of us who feel sqeemish about cutting the bezel and such, these might be for you. I am getting the 530-TID installed tomorrow with the BOSE aftermarket adapter so we'll see how it goes. I was told everything should fit and the bigger face on the 530 should cover the extra 0.5din space that the bose unit leaves.

I hope this helps some others who are on the fence about the 2-DIN mod.
p.s. oh, and if there are any forum vendors who carry these products please let us know

A buddy of mine installed 6 farenheit lcd monitors in his escalade (used for car audio shows) and they were some of the best looking LCD's I've seen in cars. Not sure about the head units but like I said the LCD's were great!

The HU on a stock single DIN faceplate is ok, but the face of the screen would sit a slight bit over the console bar which separates the HU and the AC unit. So, not installed yet.
I'm talking with Mark at HUmount to get a custom faceplate made to allow the DIN to be higher than the common ones. His faceplate with the corvette wording is already situated higher than the normal faceplates so that might actually work, we'll see as I will call him on Monday.

How'd the install go? This is a pretty nice setup. Can it be done?
