Aequitas_Veritas Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 nice, I have a spare radio I was planning to do exactly that with a screen and a PC. Ill be in touch when I actually get it done. You should take lots of pictures and do a write up, especially with how you end up fabbing it to the stock location.

maiku Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 note:pliers and shears are nice tools to have because you REALLY have to hack up the radio, especially if you want the screen cables to have good clearanceanother updated pic with electrical tape surrounding the screen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maiku Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 UPDATE:i installed the screen today. i underestimated the double din and it took a bit of sanding and coaxing to get the screen all the way in. Haven't done the bezel yet because i wanted the screen installed right away. I'm using RoadRunner for my app. Touchscreen kicks arseenjoySetting up VGA screenVolvo Start-upMusic player.

Serge Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Looking good man. I was going to do the exact same thing but instead of having the LCD stick out have it recessed back a bit into the cage (lilliput 7" touch screen would fit like that). Alas, I have no money to do such a project at the moment (I would build a mini-ITX machine in the trunk as well, those cost $$). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maiku Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 nice skin!if it works with RoadRunner i'll try it outand the screen is as far in as it can go with the stock cagei'd put it in further, but there is no roomi'm happy with it so farat night, you can't notice the blemishesand it's so tight it's nearly impossible to remove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
