Do I put an LCD monitor in my car

[Daipac]

Simple poll. I have the equipment to put an LCD monitor and PS2 in my car and I was going to do this for when I go to Spa next week but now I am not so sure.

I know it is illegal to watch it while driving so I would only use it when parked up.

It would be good to hear the opinions of people who have screens in their car already. Will I get the use out of it ? Do you get the use out of it ?

What do I do ?

I did.. I got bored of it.

If its a built in unit, itd have been ok.. it wasnt, so it annoyed me having to move it all the time.

I am not so worried of the install as it will be temporary. What I am wondering is if I will get the use out of it to be honest mate.

Did you use it much when it was installed ?

Why not install it all, and then get a sat nav for it, so then you will use it all the time.

Kinda. Was Sat Nav mainly.. but then I used to watch DVDs.. well, passengers did.

If it was a permenant "in-dash" unit, Id use it all the time! It wasnt, as I needed a VGA Touchscreen.. so its now sat on my stereo! (Also, the in-dash units dont really work in Mk1 Clios, without ripping heater vents etc.. out!

Used for sat nav in my car a fair bit, ps2 for games and dvds very little use, but you get some great sound quality from dvd soundtracks if you wire the ps2 through the headunit.

Gearstick does get in the way a little bit, but used to it now, and I have a gtech power meter pluged in, still cant work out how to use it properly
