I mounted the reverse camera where my 3rd brake light is, and planned on mounting the new TV where the rear view mirror is and using it as a digital rear view mirror but the tv was too heavy. I recently gutted my dash and took the old TV off. I moved my CD player to where the AC controls were, moved the AC controls to where the ash tray was and am going to bondo and vinyl the double din space where the CD player used to be (I tried glass. I suck...lol).
