I tried something like this with the HN6 but you can't stuff it in that little hole. You may do a RAM mount but it will be outside in view. The HN7 is bigger.

If you are worried re sunshade get the HN7 sun shade and make it a big bigger. Neither the HN6 or HN7 sunshades work in all sun situations so you need to make a small mod to reduce sun glare on the screen.

Actually I found the HN6 back lighting day and night to be slightly better than the HN7, especially the HN6 for day time..

The HN7 also has a few annoying aspects not encountered in the HN6.

I tried a GPS similar to the HEMA, but no chance it will fit in the small flip top opening. I manufactured a mount but really ugly.
Try an after market double din unit--mine cost $150 and included GPS, maps, radio, music, bluetooth for phone, and reversing camera.
Fitting cost $80 and the guy just made a short lead to convert the Nissan wires to the unit--two plugs and all works --amazing
