Another Crazy Idea

[ltnate3]

I'm thinking of trying something here. How about a touch screen monitor hooked up to a navigation unit where the ashtray and surround is now. Right now I have my sirius controller there but was thinking a monitor might look nice. Here's what my console looks like now. Yeah I know, not the best picture.

Shift knob looks obstructive. BTW that looks nice.

nah, too low. just get a nice integrated unit to replace the radio. the eclipse unit with the HDD is killer.

Wouldnt it be to low to see?

Yeah it might be low but I had my wifes Megellan sitting there yesterday and it made me think...hmmm. Of course the Eclipse unit would be more convenient but I was looking for something different. YOu guys might be right though.

It might be a little low and also that part of the console looks like a little narrow to fit even a DIN sized TV.

Actually I measured it and a 6 3/4 x 4 monitor (Kenwood) looks like it will fit just nice. I know it's low but I don't plan on staring at it. You guys are killing my motivation now.

you need to measure the body of the unit......Not trying to step on your dreams here....Measure it to see if the body will fit in there and also I think that there are some metal bars back there that will keep you from having the depth.....get a grinder out and cut away.....It could be done if it is wide enought but I think it would be to low and make the viewing angle hard to see the screen thats before you and a nice glare from the sun....But you could still do it

you really want it as high as possible. you'll look at it quite a bit and probably don't want to take your eyes that far off the road.

I was thinking about mounting a tomtom or smaller streetpilot unit in there...

Great feedback everyone. Ok I'm convinced it's too low so I'll go back to my original plan and install a new head unit.
