eventually, i want to replace my single DIN and pocket with an in dash screen. does anyone know what size will fit perfect? or do i need to do any modification to the center console to fit in a 5 or 7 incher?

I have a 6.5" screen and it almost sits flush. It looks real nice. I'll take some pics for you.

Why would you have to mod the center console?

i think he means one of those screens that just sits there? taking up both dins? I have a flip out screen. works cool :drinking:

Your best bet would be to talk to gunman. He was planning on fiberglassing on in, but i dont know if he ever got around to it.

maybe some of you guys could help me with this one. dun know where gunman is...

i want to put in a screen that will take up both dins, and is a touch screen capable of playing CD's as well as DVD's.

now, what else will i need for this to work. what modules?

Best bet is to try to catch him on AIM.

I think you're gunna have some trouble finding an indash touch screen. Havent seen many of them unless it came as an OEM from product. My moms navi on her maxima is touch screen, but thtas from the factory.

i saw a guy on this before who had a indash screen that was built in. I'll search around for him. it was like a complete headunit with a touchscreen

very nice find. Its not touch screen though. For that kinda money you should get a flipscreen

lucky for you ive been playing around with that idea, the kenwood 8'' monitor which is also touch screen is just about perfect, the thing is your gonna have to pry the front trim off and fiberglass it in, the only thing after that is your gonna have to find a spot for yor radio, you can then relocate it to where our cig ligher and ashtray are. :wink:

thank god for that solara that came in about 3 weeks back, took some extra time measuring things and all

ahh great gunman! (welcome back btw...)
lemme know if you have any ideas on how it all could come together.

If you're not too particular about it being flip out or not, here's an awesome product: Clarion VRX 935VD

http://www.clarion.com/multimedia/multi01.htm

Features:
-Motorized touchscreen
-Plays DVDs, CD-RWs, VCD, MP3
-Built-in amp and 6 channel RCA line level output
-Sirius Satellite Radio Ready

I've seen the prices vary all over the place from $1300 to $2500. BTW, why the heck is Crutchfield so stinking expensive?

crotchfield is expensive b/c it is the name brand store like Al&Eds autosound.

touchscreen monitors are awesome, but i would not like the fact of other people touching my screen, getting their grubby fingerprints on the display. I went with Pioneer. works great, although my only security feature (removeable face plate) was broken by me. so here i am with a electric taped up broken face plate
