A few weeks ago I purchased this in dash DVD unit for my 2000 nissan altima.

When i purchased it I was told they could pop it in any car because I was thinking about buying a new car. I found a 2004 TSX that was too good of a deal to pass up and bought it. When I brought it back into my local car audio shop they told me it would require a lot of custome work to put this unit in my TSX and would cost around $800. The shop only has a 7 day return policy so I am passed that by a couple weeks. Basically I guess I was wondering if anybody has had an aftermarket stereo installed in a 2004 TSX or has any information that might help me out here. My car has the standard premium sound system, not the navigation unit.

You wont be able to put the head unit where the stock one is but they sell a kit to put it wear the pop up doors are in the middle.

I have looked all over for a kit for this car. Do you have a link for the kit you are talking about. Also, since I wouldnt actually be taking out the 6 disc cd changer would I be able to use both units? Or would the stock unit just be there for looks at that point? I mainly want my dvd player for its compatability with my ipod. The touch screen is great. I really appreciate the help guys and anything anybody could add would be great.
