Bay Area E30S52: No More Slush Box + More Horsepower

[bernzpeed]

Video Install

I don't like the idea of all these wires hanging out of different gadgets in the car.
It looks a bit messy. Those new double din stereos with LCD screens on them makes me drool all the time. But it doesn't fit in the E30.

Then they made the single din and the monitor slides out and I say, WOW. I'm gonna get one of those. But, there was one problem.

So on one guy's thread, he said, "too bad we can't fit a dvd monitor on the E30. It will hit the wiper stalk when it comes out of the dash."

Well, I refuse to accept that since, I'm big on technology and I think the GPS is the smartest invention ever. For a person who refuses to stop and ask for directions, this is a lifesaver. LOL. I think Bluetooth is freaking cool for hands free-calling.

So first I figured I'd cut out a pattern to make a similar dash trim panel for the stereo to move it a little bit to so the monitor doesn't hit it. But there is an easier way.

BAM!


Stay tuned.

I am bummed I can't find a single-din in-dash dvd video/nav/bluetooth that could work for me. It will now fit in my dash and I can't find one. Any suggestions?
