Hey guys, I have a 94' with Infinity Reference 6.5" all around. My Panasonic CQ 5301U MP3/CD player crapped out about 1 week after my 1-year warranty and have been listening to my iPod or Sirius since. I want to upgrade to something with a screen and GPS Navi (I don't care about BlueTooth), but have heard no-so-great things about motorized units (being the 94' dash is single DIN).
I have three questions:
1) Mounting one in an Explorer console, just below the HVAC controls would be my first option, would this be too low to take full advantage of the GPS and DVD player?
2) Does anyone have an opinion on the Pioneer 5.8" In-Dash Multimedia Player With GPS Navigation System (AVIC-F700BT) unit?
3) Any idea how much lack of heater or A/C functionality I would loose by removing the top center vent in a 94' dash to expand my player to a double DIN size?
Thanks guys.

Updates to come this week. The dash (finished) is in the truck at the body shop so it will be a couple days. I forgot to take pics of it before taking it down, but I don't have it 100% finished, still need to secure the unit and use sealant on the vent.
Thanks for the motivation guys.
fishy2k8 - I have found some units, even with the 2.0 update are slower than others. My buddy's unit it the same model as mine (F700) and his takes about 10 seconds longer to start up to a "useable" screen than mine. I can assure you that mine with the 2.0 update and mild software mods isn't much slower than it takes a regular car CD player to turn on and start playing a CD where left off. I can take a video of start up one night. PS - Like I said on RPS, love your truck, pretty close to how I want mine to look.
