monitor in dash

[jonnyshaw89]

hey i was wondering how hard it would be to mount a touchscreen monitor here. i have done a rubbish photoshop job!

anyone got any ideas how hard it would be? im guessing i would have to fibreglass it!

I made a pikey mdf leather covered console that sat in there for my clock display. Depends how good you want it to look.

[jonnyshaw89]

the monitor i down where the cup holders are so will have to move the 12V adaptor and the obd-II port

you would have to look down at it which would be gay i think. put it in the radio and the hazard panel bit

I'd have thought something like this would be better?

 

[jonnyshaw89]

yeh that does look alot better. how easy do you think it will be to put in there?

 

[AlexG]

how much would a clio dash be with the satnav hole? very rare

 

[mark989]

how much is it for a monitor touch screen with an operating system built in also with usb output for the obd port.
Then you can display the engine paramaters using fastchip program.

what i am going to do is get a touchscreen and a small computer mounted under the passenger seat from mp3car.com.
i already have a elm interface to connect to my obd-ii. i love that thing!
so total price will be about £350

^^ sod thinking about the PC. It's the touchscreen that'll make it.

 

[jonnyshaw89]

i know im just concentrating on the monitor at the mo cause i can just plug my laptop in for the moment

To make it look really OE get the sat nav top dash & use that. Costly but it looks great. Other than that (as said) test your skills at making a surround etc.
