headunits with built in screens
has anyone got a headunit with fold out screen there mk2 nova ?? i want 1 but was looking at the stereo space and im not sure if the screen will foul the dash when it slides out. i know you can get screens with multi angle but im not sure if this would still give a good enough angle to view the screen ?? i dont want one stuck somewhere on the dash either or in the vents as i want the dash to look original
I've done one before, had to space the unit like fook to get it at a decent angle, looks good when its out, looks **** when its in, best bet is a seperate screen mounted somewhere else, i.e, sunvisors!
yeah i thought as much, prob go the sunvisor route as i can get them trimmed leather to match the seats. cheers pal
do ya know how to get them wired up there okay? if your feeling really fancy re locate the h/unit facia somewhere else as well.
ive seen that done, with the face plate in the visor ?? dunno where to put it tho without it looking tacky or bodged
An old mate of mine had one in his gsi about 6 years ago, he fitted it in place of the dash vents because it was different at the time. Only took a few hours to work it out.
yeah but i dont like them just stuck there, plus if some twocer looks thru your window, sees youve got a screen its pretty obvious youve got something else there
i dont know how much room is on the mk 2 dash, but would a double din fit? a lad at work just fitted a smart one in his scooby, double din touch-screen bolt in jobbie. just a thought...
but i want the dash to remain standard so NO cutting out holes/losing vents
Re loacting stuff is easy, you need to be able to solder and ideally have a second source of music, i.e changer or i pod, oh and lots of telephone cable.
Looks good tho when done proper...
