Relocating oem nav unit. Adding second double din deck.

So after my dismay with not liking dsp (I've had the p99rs in my old car and the jbl ms8 and helix dsp in this car) I'm a passive kinda guy. I just want a nicer deck, and with past experience I like pioneer decks. Trying to do a little research and have an idea of what I want to do. I cannot remove the oem deck so that's whatever. But If I buy another cd faceplate meant for modifying (keeping the original oem faceplate in a box if i ever need to sell the car one day) So pretty much the are where the oem decks buttons are and the cd insert slot I will be removing. I think the cd player or oem decks brain is behind the faceplate so i might relocate that to inside the glovebox or something. I have my eyes on a pioneer nex-4000. I'll find out soon if this idea is plausable and if it is I'll post pics and such.

yeah thats pretty much the reason that a custom install is required.

A few people have relocated the factory display screen by adding wire to the factory harnesses.

another option maybe to install a radio in the center console.

I'm thinking about doing that relocated screen thing for the second headunit. Have the body in the glovebox, run whatever wires through the panels and through the spot where the stupid clock is. Have my installer fabricate some kind of mount or something to go over the radios buttons or whatever looks best. I just have to sell this damn helix dsp and I'm good to go.
