Hi everyone havent been on here in ages but I have recently been looking at MCS's getting a little bit bored of my mini 1. I have found the perfect MCS its the right colour, right spec ect love the look mileage is low and its an 04 plate so im hoping one of the face lift modles BUT I have an alpine IVA D310 and the mini in question has a factory fitted sat nav screen has anyone got both of these in what do people think will this look stupid?

Cheers Everyone

If you replace the built-in radio with your Alpine IVA D310, the screen won't be able to tilt up to the vertical position because of the lip in the round bezel beneath the Nav. Quite apart from the appearance, it may not be easy to use unless the Alpine unit sticks out about an inch or so. That just screams "please finish stealing this radio!"
