In dash screen

Post by tux2006 »

Does anyone reckon that it would be possible to fit a screen in place of the temp controls/buttons on the centre console of the dash?

Ive seen it done on other cars where they move all the switches etc to a unit in the glove box and have a screen in their place. If this is possible what size screen would fit? has anyone measured this up? my car is just the basic D8 LX version without A/C or anything fancy so there isn't all that much to move. Im ok with the electronics side of things.

I would put a motorized screen in but of because of the angle of the radio it would fit properly and I dont want a screen mounted on the roof or anything

Any ideas people??? :D :D

Madcow was the first to add a touch screen to the centre console and remove the controls and relocate them.

He should have some pictures in the album, why not check them out.
