I think everyone is tired of seeing the same pics over but yes I've got a Kenwood single din flip up screen. The movement doesn't interfere with the shape of the center console.

XOvision makes one similar that is only $200 (add-on GPS box bought separately for about the same money). That Kenwood is about $800, I think.
