Tv in Bg astina dash
I have been toying with the idea of placing a screen in the big gap left when the stock deck and equiliser is taken out. Not one of those in dash ones, but a lcd monitor so it looks similar to the nav system setup on rav4, soarer etc.
What do you guys thing bout this idea? Can anyone think of any problems about this idea?

You got the right area im talking bout.....relocate the deck somewhere i guess hehehe, was thinking bout mounting deck in glove box area, control over deck wont be to hard, just have to rely on the remote.
Like i said this is an idea at the moment.

hm.. how abt a possible touch screen aswell?? hehe
another idea is to have the stereo behind the screen, but it has to be a detachable face one... and then rewire/add extention from the hu to it's face which can be relocated elsewhere, eg in the sun visor? since it's only in the idea stage atm, I"m willing to brainstorm with you, although some of the ideas aren't too realistic, my head is always in the clouds =) |

whats the purpose of this screen anyway? is it gonna be for dvd or carputer (in car computer)?
if carputer, touch screen is a must, and if you got the money to buy the parts, it aint that hard. key note: money

well then the dvd goes in the glove box, and the ps2 under passenger seat :mrgreen:
if its just dvd, and you have a remote a touch screen is probably not necessary. but if you can get one cheap, all the better.

u'll have alot of empty space behind the screen, so why not put something behind it? as ur example of the rav4 and soarer, their screen flips down so u can insert cds.
have you thought abt which screen or dvd player yet? does anone have picsof the interior of the bg? i want to see it and get ideas from it. as my friend has a civic and molded an extra din, don't know if the bg has enough space for it. |

i was just gonna put one of those screens meant for a stand in there so it looks flush, everyone has the motorised screens hehe.
i wanted it to sorta look like how the screens are setup in the soarers etc. Wanted something different.
