In Car Computer!

[The Best Jack]

Okay,

Many of you are probably going to read this thread and laugh, but it is worth asking I beleive in my opinion.

It's not the computer itself I'm worried about, I'm a PC geek and that side of it isn't a problem for me.

The problem is the screen what's the easiest way of inserting a screen, has it been done before, anyone have any links, videos or pictures?

Anything would be apprechiated.

Thanks,

Jack.

this was my old civic type r I used fibre glass and filler then sprayer the panel
I know you wanted to see it in a clio but had to show off a bit

 

[ourboy]

i moulded a bracket into the panel so the screen popped into the bracket
it wasn't easy but i had a lot of time on my hands then

i still have the 12volt switching relay that switches the computer on when you turn the key it you are after one

that's a very tidy install that - be proud

Like a screen bracket? So you just made the bracket fit into the dash, and popped the screen in?

Where can I get one of these brackets?

Thanks,

Jack.

Anyone got any other input for me?

Thanks,

Jack.

the bracket came with the touch screen so it could be mounted in a head rest

I think i cut a hole into the panel slighty larger than the screen.
then covered the screen in masking tape and then greased the tape so it wouldn't stick to the filler and set it into the hole where i wanted it.
then mixed both fibre glass and filler together and used this to fill the gap around the front of the screen . I found it easier to sand when both were mixed and a very strong job.
remove screen from back of panel and sand the front until it looks the part
then mount the head rest bracket that came with my screen with more fibreglass to the back of the panel so the screen has a base to click into

hope you can make sense of this all

How good can you make the GPS on these devices?

Thanks,

Jack.
