Personally, I prefer the all in one type of set up, for a cleaner looking installation. Plus everything is there in one spot. The real drawback to this is the fact that all of the CD/DVD/LCD head units I've seen are $1K+. So, that can be a problem. There is something to be said for the originality of a custom set up though. It's a pain in the tail to do it yourself and is expensive to pay a shop to do it, though. But there's your choices. Either sell the head unit you have now and buy an all in one unit, or add on to what you already have and deal with things like a custom dash bezel or something and a DVD player in your glovebox. Having it in your glovebox would seem a real inconvenience to me, as I have mine full of BS most of the time, but it might keep the 5 finger discount crowd from bashing your windows out. As I said, I like the all in one deal, but if the head unit you have now is compatible with what you are planning, then that might be the way to go. Just a thought.
