In the pic below, you can see where the creen is. That insert is the same as the non nav dash(vents/hazards and all), just without the flip up.
Is there something I'm missing?
Probably. There's got to be something underneath - look inside your airvents now - it goes straight back. They probably won't sell you the center dash w/o the monitor. Personally, I like it. I test drove in the rain, but it was VERY bright out, and I could read it clean as day.
My problem is that to install the factory unit - you will get an entirely new center console too. Check where the controls are - that's not a snap-in item, it's mounted in the actualy area.
I'm still with whoever stated they would like to have the extra storage. Like many other cars, they have the open storage hole on the drivers side under the light switches (dimmers/xenon control). My Honda had a flip down, so if you put something in it, it would stay, not slide around (it was felt covered too).
Other than the glove box, and maybe if you remove the ashtray (white light is annoying), there's no useable front storage. This was handy for pens, some quick cash, cards, whatever. But it doesn't exist here. The P5 has something, even if it isn't all that great.
However, I think you are better off getting the center console screen, then tricking it into another DVD player.
