Checked the FAQ's and came up goose eggs. Most of the kits I have seen look absolutely horrible. Is there a high quality one that maybe incorporates the wood trim? Or just fits better without sticking out like a sore thumb? I have an eclipse AVN-726e that's going in but not if I can't find a dash kit that looks nice. HELP!

I used a janus design kit for my double din install you need to cut the Airbox to make a double din unit fit well.
I am in Greece at the moment and this pic is the best I can do in till I get home on Sunday, hope this helps.

Dennis Cooper has a high quality OEM look bezel in the works...
It might be worth the time to look him up

I have a Janus kit if you're interested. It is used, but worked well when I had it installed in my e39 before doing the NBT retrofit. PM if interested.

Yes, I had to cut the ducting.
NBT retrofit is putting the 2013+ BMW nav system in.

Sounds expensive and a lot of wiring lol. I think i'll stick with the eclipse unit. Is the factory nav updateable? Because eclipse went out of biz and theres no updates for it. Dunno.. I would love to stick with factory but then again you cant add really anything to it like amps and better mids/highs/subs. The lack of rca outs and remote turn on is a bummer on factory stuff.
