Hello! This is my first post on this forum.

I have been reading this forum for the past month or so now (ever since I got my used Cruze), and everything has been very helpful!
I've read the posts about the double din conversion, and have my parts coming in tomorrow (Alpine ILX-007, GMOS, etc etc). I just have one remaining question that I have yet to find an answer to yet on this forum. After installing the double din, is there a way to replace the factory screen? Perhaps turn it into a storage compartment or something. If not, that's fine, I just don't want to be looking at two screens. At the bare minimum I would like to remove it and place just a rounded fitting plastic piece in there just to make the new ILX look more factory.

Any ideas, suggestions or past experiences are appreciated.
Thanks for all your help!

I have the green screen. From what I understand, I won't be able to change the settings on the vehicle. That is fine by me as they are set to how I like them. If that's all there is to it, I would rather the screen just disappear.

Yeah; CC on the left and volume/handsfree on the right.

Going tablet route would get rid of the screen? Is there a known way to get rid of the green screen anyway?

Hmm so the screen is imperative? I might just find a way to cover it up or something. I really don't want to be looking at two screens lol
