    Default lcd screen top of dash vy

    im planning on fiberglassing a small monitor into the top removable part of my center dash, very simular to the 2 guage hsv but with 1 screen



    found this site that has a few monitors, unsure about whats suitible, or quality, take a look and if u got time make sum sugestions, would be great

    LCD Monitors | Video Monitors | Car Monitors | Full selection of 12 volt car video monitors, we have a car video monitor for any automobile, car, rv, truck, or suv

    sweet as dude. I've been wanting to use that little area for something, I'd love to put a gps or something in there, Rear view camera.
    Be super cool if when u closed the lid, the screen would fold horizontal and go back in flush, but wishful thinking i think :P

    More ontopic, i think that the Outdoor and Sunlight Readable LCD Monitor is good, cause at that height you may get alot of sun and glare. BUt those raw lcd modules are probably the way to go if your going to make up a custom casing for it

    Just keep in mind, if people can see it, they'll steal it

    He put a screen in the sunnies holder, and check the other pages for interesting stuff if you're into car audio etc.

    Yeah, that guy sure knows what he's doing! I've been following that thread for about a year, he's slowly been adding to it. Real pleasure to watch it all go together

    If your thinking of the thread i think your thinking about then he didnt. He got to the stage where he wanted someone to go in with him to actually produce them for sale. He made a fully functing prototype thou. Not sure if he is still on the forum.
