Brilliant! Also see the other thread around here somewhere this month about the guy who put in a Samsung One Note smartphone. It's neat to see technology adapting to this space. Luckily it's a 16:9-ish shape for support years to come.

What did you use to fill in the area where the buttons used to be?

Very nice.

If not for the new one being usable, you would never be able to tell it didn't come with the car.
