it will hit the shifter when in park! there is a setting on mine to where it stays open all the time unless i close it then it stays closed all the time! i have it where you want and left the stock nav screen in also very happy with it that way.

i'm considering this operation as well, but have been told by 2/4 places that Onstar service will be lost. the other 2 said there are kits and the like to keep the Onstar service.

did you guys successfully keep onstar while adding full-frontal movie capacity?
