i saw many setups with a lcd screen put in the dash where the gas and water temp gauge is...i want to know what is the biggest size lcd that can fit up there? i was looking at 4 inch but i think 5.6 might be able to fit in there...anyone know what size will fit?
do you have any pics? i saw someone have a 4 inch in there but its hard to find a 4 inch now....i think the smallest i can find is 5.6....also what head unit and dvd play you have?
i had that kind of setup before with the flip out but that gets anoying after awhile and i got cheap brands and paid 580 for all my stuff and it worked perfectly ...but i sold that for kit and now i want a small custom job
kevie88 - can you clearly see the screen or is this a job that is only cool to brag about and not good to use...i dont want to do all this work if i can hardly see the tv...i had a 6.4 and that was pretty good but i am not sure how a 5 would compare
yeah i read about your car...sorry about that...i am only doing this because the location of the shifter in the 4th gens make it hard to ejoy the flip out lcds...the only one i seen that was good was by someone that put there head unit in the ac vents at the top...smart idea but i am not crazy about adding something to my car only to lose something else...the LCD sounds like a cheap and easy idea...also i have to start doing some work myself so i figure i will start with this shops get hardons when they see me walk in
yeah i saw the AC vent thing.. i dont like it much, it sets the TV up SO high, and it IS your radio/cd control, besides, i have enough idiots staring into my car with my TV where it is now.. i cant imagine it up there.
I don't really know if this mod is worth all the work, to be honest I'm thinking of pulling the screen out of the dash and putting it up into the passenger side visor, I really don't use it very often. I think a passenger would enjoy it much more.
thats what i am thinking about doing...putting a 5 inch lcd in the dash and then putting a 4 inch lcd in the passanger side visor and put a hide away dvd player in the glove box (of course i would have to fabracate a new glove box)...it will cost a lot less that way than if were to put the indash dash flip out lcds...also i think that is a lot clearer looking to go custom...lets hope it looks as good in my car as it does in my mind
