I did a search but found nothing super useful, so I'm turning to the general public for a little help/advice. I bought a 7" lcd wide screen and am looking for a place to mount it. I have it mounted right now, but its just temporary cause I know I'm not going to be fully happy with where it is. Any guys with LCD monitors that are not in visors/head rests, if you could give me some info on where you mounted them and why that would help a lot.

As it sits right now I have two options I am considering.

1. Take out the head unit and re-mount that in the glove box, and mount the screen where the head unit use to be so it is at eye level.

2. Get a custom fiber glass enclosure build above the ash tray so it is angled towards me while sitting in front of the shifter.


Right now I'm drifiting towards option #1 because I think the H/U in the glove box would be pretty friggen nice, and the mount would be a lot easier to remove and be less expensive. Also it gives the people in the back seat a chance to watch as well.

Right now I have my PS2 hooked up and mounted nicely under the drives seat, so the CD tray pops out under my legs. When I get it all installed I plan on taking tons of pics. I spent almost 3 days running the wires and hooking up fuses and switches so I plan on doing it right if I'm going to do it at all!

Any thoughts/comments/criticism is apperciated!

Thanks!

Personally, rather than have to reach across the car to change channels etc, I'd purchase the Mitsu part that mounts the HU in the bottom cubby.
(Yes, I know there are remotes, but they don't always have all the features you're looking for.)

Other than the glovebox idea, I like the way it sounds to be shaping up.

 

You can move the head unit to the lower cubby with a mitsu dealer part and put the screen in the top one.

 

hmmm, I never really thought about how far the reach would be over to the glove box... yea... I'm a dumbass.

great info with the part that works out better because I kinda scrached up the inside of the old cubby when I was drilling a hole for a switch and didn't really look what I was hitting on the inside. Thanks guys!!!

 

does anyone have a part number for the lower cuubby head unity mount??? the guys up here in canada don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

 

tell them it's the piece they use to put in the 6 disc cd changer. Just don't let them sell you the changer too.

 

I just did a forum search like I should have in the first place and found it :P

The part number is MZ598263EX for anyone else who might need it.

Thanks for the help!

 

tell them you want it for less then 35 and they will, i got mine for like 32 bucks cause i said i could find it on the internet cheaper

 

hey, you two both have good ideas. I like that headunit in the glove compartment deal, but let me know how that CD-changer idea goes. I got two 6" LCDs in the head rest, a playstation 2 and a Pioneer DEH-P7500MP headunit. Getting some 10"s in a few weeks, i want a kick, but not a bang. Like i said, let me know if it works cuz i want to put in a LCD for the front passenger side

 

Why don't you just buy a all in one head unit with a 7" LCD screen. That way you have all in one and you still only use one slot and leave the other open for what ever.

I have seen a picture (wish I would have saved it) that was of a J-spec or UK EVO either a VII or a VIII. It had a vid-monitor in the center of the upper part of the dash where the Clock is now in the US spec. Also I have seen pics of the A/C unit in the cubby and the Radio opening was a full double din opening. Might wanna look into those 2 options

 

yea the one you said first
about mounting it where the clock is it the plan now

I'm moving the H/U down to the cubby, the moving the LCD up to where the deck use to be and building a custome bracket for it. Paying off some speeding tickets right now so its put on hold for a few weeks.

I'll get some pics when its all done though
