I need some help from anyone I can get it from.  I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler X and have recently came across a Double DIN DVD/CD/NAV unit that I can not pass up... I have seen several Jeeps with Double DIN nav units installed in the dash, I looked in Crutchfield and it says it wont fit.. Does anyone have any idea how to put it in without getting rid of the middle vents?  Please HELP

Link to crutchfield to look at nav

Have you seen the Garmin Quest II. Jeep sells it under the name Trail Guide. It mounts in the top tray of the dash.

Click here for more info.

Jeeps sells it for $800. But you can buy the Garmin for less than $400 and buy the mount from Jeep for around $120. That's $520 instead of $800.

I can give you all the sources and part numbers if you want.

I have seen the Trail Garmin and actually own a Garmin NUVI but I have sirius and it looks like clutter on my dash board.. I am looking to fit a double din in the 1.5 din radio dash, I hate clutter and want everything in one...

It is actually a very nice install. It matches the dash perfectly, and does not in any way look like clutter. It is a very tight factory look, because it is factory.
