LCD Mount
I have recently came across a couple of these PS One LCD screens for about 18 bucks a piece. After I found out they could be hacked for VGA I purchased a couple of them with the intention of putting them in my RX8. I've been trying to figure out the best way to mount a 5" LCD in the car (I'll probably just use one of them for this purpose)
Anyone have ideas? what are you guys currently doing for LCD mounts in the RX8? |
to my guess.....absolutely nothing. :(

I'm doing mine this way:

It will fit behind the glove box with all of my other electronics. I'll have an entire install thread at the end of next week once I get it all fabricated and installed. |

Here is all the junknizzle (minus the tray - I'm waiting on that from Canzoomer):

That's cool Jeff - but aren't you afraid that with the screen in plain sight and it not being retractable or hidden in any way, you're going to invite a thief to break into your car?

If I do need to leave it, It is just one security-keyed screw and a cable. For the casual thief, he is going to get snagged by the alarm as soon as he touches the car. For the pro, he would rather have a real NAV screen because my VGA is only $400 retail. |
wow, that setup looks awesome... can't wait to see the finished product
