Hi all, I maybe need to go ask a Mitsubishi service person this question, but maybe you all will know. I have quite the multimedia Lancer going on right now.

PC, Xenarc 7" LCD, DVD, GPS, all that jazz. I drove to California from Mississippi, so I had to enjoy my ride.

My initial idea for mounting my screen was to cut a hole in the dash in the middle, above the vents and hazard light, just the size of my screen. I was going to mount the screen upside down and make it so that it would lie flush when closed, but when I wanted to watch TV or whatever, i'd just flip it up.

I was going to try and take the dash apart myself, but decided to ask the question first, so I didn't waste time if it wasn't doable in the first place.

I have the screen currently mounted where the cubby-hole thing was, above the lighter and ashtry. I removed the small storage space and added my own housing bracket for the screen.

Thanks everyone,

there isn't anythign there but like u said wires and the ducting to the vents. but uhm you might wanna fiberglass ur dash and maybe mold it in. that would looks sweet

 

The AC ducting may be right there. Remember there are front vents there and defogger vents along the front. Just a word of caution that there may be something there. I really can't say for certain though.

 

Thanks guys....does anyone know the correct procedure for taking the dash off? I can handle the radio, though I did it a little differently than posted in the "how-to" thread.

Thanks again

 

damn.. very unique cng.. interesting idea.. especially when 3g (wcdma) is in full force...

 

u using a laptop or what for the comp?

 

I have a celeron 533 with 128 MB RAM, and a 30 gig drive. I have a network card in it, so that I can transfer songs/games to and from my DSL at home.

It fits directly under the driver side seat. The DVD player (PC) is placed inside the back seat, i cut a hole and took out the padding and added a steel frame so the DVD couldn't be crushed. Works nicely.

The GPS works great, except in LA...too much interference I guess. Sucks....

Thanks guys

 

could you post a pic of your backseat where you cut the whole?
