I just bought the Magellan 1700 yesterday...and it came today. Going to figure out how to mount it this weekend.

 

[Tko512iFX]

Are you planning on mounting in oem screen spot or just standard external mount?

 

[ThE Fx 45 BeAsT]

Yeah that was what I was thinking about but that part where the oem screen went looks challenging. but I do want the navi though. I want to mount in the oem part

if you planning to mount it in the stock screen location you have to relocate your screen

several have done it but it is quite custom

2020 i know you have one for sale but were did you get the plastic framing from or did you have it made?

your options:

1. clock location - fairly easy, no extending wires needed (i don't like outcome, looks out of place)
2. cup holder - medium, have to extend wire and do some custom mounting (looks better than #1 but hard to check the screen while driving)
3. overhead - hard, have to extend wires, and make custom console (best option IMO, looks 100% OEM if done right)

I know i see but as far as modifying the upper part looks to be a pain. As far as putting that navi in i can handle that but the custom part to put the relocated oem screen looks to be trouble for me.

framing was done from aluminum, and then cover with plastic.

I saw the custom sunglasses holder already made at the 'For Sale' section. Was pretty expensive. You should check it out.

 

[ThE Fx 45 BeAsT]

I seen it, it was expensive but imma think about it i think its on ebay as well

I've been thinking about this too. Now that the upper plastic is available, the look is there. What I'm not sold on yet is the naviagation unit. I want music control too - on screen menus integrated with the CD player & radio. Is this too much to ask?

The closest thing I have seen is Turbocad's computer that can do it all. But that's a much bigger custom job than just swapping out the OEM screen.

Are there any units out there than can do both GPS and music, plus fit in our OEM dash location?

 

[ThE Fx 45 BeAsT]

Maybe a double din that is a navi and music player. I wanted a flip out which is done already. Now i just want a navi to replace my oem and move the oem up top

 

[jumbosrule]

Can you post some pictures of your flip-out? I had considered this too, but just want one thing that does it all.

 

[fxlr8]

how about something like this http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/P...eo/In-Dash/GPS-Navigation-Systems/AVIC-Z110BT

might have to trim some stuff up though.

 

[ThE Fx 45 BeAsT]

I will when i get home ill pm you it is where the clock use to be. I recommend getting a double din in place of the oem screen that do it all but ill pm u some pics when i go on lunch
