Plotting and planning the in-car PC

[Prime Lord]

I have an indash 7" screen now that blocks the hvac when I open it, its a bit annoying but nothing that would cause me to relocate the unit.

Have any pictures of that?

 

[nisreo]

Here you go.

 

[nisreo]

clearance... I can stick my fingers back there to shut hvac off with the screen out. Its a little awkward but it works.

 

[Prime Lord]

Thats what I'm talking about. Thx dude.

 

[nisreo]

no problem

 

[nisreo]

oh yea I forgot to mention I scored on that screen. Picked it up off some guy at my work for $40

 

[Prime Lord]

Sweet deal. Is it just a headunit w/ a touch screen?

 

[nisreo]

no touch screen unfortunatly. It plays cd's dvds and most media cd's like WMV and avi files.

So, with something like that does it fit in the origonal slot for the radio or do you need to do some fabrication?

 

[Prime Lord]

If you're replacing your radio, a 7" motorized/retractable screen will fit snugly in a standard DIN socket. If you're doing my plan and keeping the radio, then you'd need a custom mounting bracket that would hold both the radio and the screen.
