Will Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 EDIT: Here are some better picturesGot Bing's monitors in the mail this week so i decided to install them tonightAll this happiness thanks to my best friend, the XBoxX3 chip, X3 front panel with an LCD lolTook a few hours, but its was actually not too bad...with a sunroof, it leaves very little space for clearance when screwing in the monitors, but as long as you're careful, you can use the ones included with the flipdowns..or you could go out and get shorter screws. It'd probaly be a good idea to mount the mounting plate on 1/2" peice of MDF wood attached to the ceiling or something similar to that, then mounting the screens onto the plate. That would give you a lot more clearance and confidence when screwing in the screws when mounting the monitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted January 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 it actual;ly is a little bit tilted. i don't know if you've installed a flip down behind the seats of the 850 before, but when i had the headliner down, i noticed that the roof, is actually curved. they curve down on the sides, so the monitors end up getting a lil bit tilded..didn't know what to do about it...

Bing_0 Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 fit some washers on the higher side, with slightly longer screws to space it down a little, and then when you are tinging it, tighten the lower side more than the higher side, a little wiggle here, a little there, and you can get it almost even b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prasamin Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 you have to take the headliner down to install these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon17 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Now your passengers will be pleased. Quite a nice setup. Was it a difficult install with the 2 flip-downs? So the Xbox also allows you to setup head-to-head games in the backseat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 how exactly do these mount and where did you run the wiring? got these sitting around, might put them in this weekend.the mounting plates will be mounted to the roof then the monitors will be mounted on the mounting plates. be careful if you have a sunroof...you'll only have a little bit of clearance when screwing in the mounting platethe wiring will go along the sunroof trim..just along the back side, then down the B pillars. The headliner will not have to be removed, but it makes things easier..i took out A, B, and C pillars, handles on the roof, and wedged the headliner out around the sunroof trim.thats about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
