Sony CD850XM I have in mine is a bit longer than a standard radio and its tight, esp with all the connections on the back. I looked at it and also spotted that none of them would put the screen at a suitable angle.

Might be better off with a stand alone screen someplace.

I think you could probably only get away with a 21" due the MOT man saying you had an obstruction in the drivers field of view :lol: :lol:

Stevo, why not get a load of 7" screens and put them on the roof lining to form what looks like a massive scrren that pans over the whole roof lining, of course you'd need better reclining seats for comfort :lol: :lol:

something like this:

Post by: Ja1983 on November 28, 2007, 20:37:02: give me Â£100 and you can have 2x 8" widescreen sunvisor screens, and the DVD player that goes with em... not a straight swap, as they are the "universal variety" but shouldnt think there would be much hassle in making them work :wink:

Post by: defuzz on March 30, 2008, 00:09:13: i've been thinking about htis a bit myself recently. I'm a geek so I'd like to fit a PC in the beast with a TFT screen on the dash, my best idea was to mount a second instrument binacle on the dash, with a bit of body filler between the two to make it one long binnacle, I recon it could work....

dodgy 5 minute photoshop mockup:

it would also give some space for extra switches too!!

Post by: winx on March 31, 2008, 21:11:30: for now a mixture of mdf and fibreglass frame trimmed in black vinyl, with the face plate ebing abs plastic. Once I finalise it will be made completely from fibreglass and a carbon fibre face plate with etched labels.
