Hi, kcy... I think it would be a tight fit in that space as-designed, because it's not quite standard DIN size. However, with enough time & money, and the right installer, anything's possible

If I were putting this in my car - that's exactly where I'd put it. Maybe have a panel fashioned for it, in the same trim as the console - elegant, stealthy, and out of sight of the bad guys.

I don't have a DVD player in my HAH, but I can relay that if you get the Honda IVES, with the flip down screen in the roof, that they'll pretty much have to take half the car apart to put it in. So, your solution looks cheaper & easier, and should work well. Just make sure you find a good installer who'll take the time to do it right
