does this mean no holes will need to be drilled with eclipse? i've read you need to drill holes when using the kendwood models.

you *definitely* need to drill new holes with the Elcipse AVN's, if you want the cover/door to close flush. it's not a huge deal, because you ahve to remove the mounting bracket anyhow to get the factory stereo out (if i recall correctly). Simply make sure you pay attention to which side is which, and the way the brackets mount up (they only fit in one way anyhow), and then just measure about 1/4" further back on the bracket (read, towards the engine). It's really not very difficult.

I've been thinking about just doing a car pc install. It'll probably be a pain in the butt, but at least it won't cost 2 grand hehe.

Apparently Alpine has a touchscreen double-din DVD unit coming out for 2006:

For less than $1000, looks good to me...NAV is an additional option.
