LCD Mount Options
I do not own an RX8 yet but when I get one I plan to install a CarPC. I'm trying to determine if I should bother getting a car with factory navigation if I am only going to use it for the screen.
From other posts I've seen it looks like it's possible to use the factory screen for a CarPC. Does anybody know the native resolution of the factory screen and what is involved in getting it hooked up to a car pc? Is it a touch screen and can the touch screen feature be used on a car pc? I'm also considering a few of the aftermarket screen mounting options: 1) Nav Tray. Personaly I don't like this options as there is no way to hide the LCD http://www.ericanastas.net/images/navi_from_front1.jpg 2) Retractable Nav Tray. This looks like a good option, but I don't think it is motorized. http://www.ericanastas.net/images/JDM-Nav-Tray.jpg 3) 1 DIN Dash Mold. I like this options as well, except for it not hiding the fact you have an LCD as well as the Retractable Nav Tray. http://www.ericanastas.net/images/26682330-1.jpg Are there other options I should consider? I don't want to mess with anything like the CorkSport kit that replaces the entire head unit. Also I'd prefer retractable options the mount to the dash. Eric |
