Sick TV screen setup

[Van Westervelt]

doesn't the shift knob wicked get in the way when in 5th?

On mine? It doesn't get in the way at all to me. Probably also has to do with your seat position. But not at all to me.

mine was a custom box. took about 4 hours over a couple days. Pretty easy. Mine actually just screws to the console in the same location as the ashtray.

How hard is it to get a screen installed in that lower location? I actually really like it there.

Its really easy if you buy mine, all you do is slide it in, top first, then push down on the bottom and it snaps into place.

Let me know if any of you are interested

I dont like how that one is tucked under the edge of the dash. Whole thing just looks crooked.

Here is mine, it hooked up to my car pc. Has my entire mp3 collection, bunch of movies/tv, gps, sat radio, games, ect, ect, ect. I spent lots of time on the road.

Yours is nice, but a little to flat. (IMO)

LOL all this high-tech pull off yank and you have a six-button OBC.

im not making fun of you, I just like to point out small bits of irony.

That IS a clean setup, and I would like to know what kind of money it would be to get a setup similar to that. (Ballpark figure, retail)

Personally, I do not care for "upper dash" screens in any car. As Curt mentioned, having the screen out of the line of sight is best.

whoever did the vinyl in that second shot needs to be more careful with the heat gun.

Curts dash looks so much better in person! Didn't Chris Church do that monitor install?

groupie, who fabbed that monitor install? thats pretty cool. in the OP pics what is in the factory HU location?

[Van Westervelt]

if I were to install a screen I'd put one of those DIN sized ones in that motor up and out.

I dont care for those, almost all have shiny/chrome buttons. Plus more moving parts= more to go wrong. Also, mine is level, driver to passenger.

That first setup looks awful. It reminds me of a conversion van my grandpa had back in the '80s. E30_Groupie's is a lot cleaner, but if I were to install a screen I'd put one of those DIN sized ones in that motor up and out.
