i just finished installing a LCD screen and a video game in my DA over the weekend! yay! and i'm simply making this post because when i searched to find ideas on the install, people either had the in-dash units or the pics didnt work. so i hope this post can help somebody else out in the future. more pics and a video on my website.

LOL! I'm sure it's probably just temporary....right?

Check out one of our sponsors for carbon fiber plates that'll fit that space nicely.

BTW, where's the PS2?

 

yeah the cardboard is temorary. when i get my gauges and SAFCII fitted, im going to use the cardboard as a template for a fiberglass piece. and the PS2 is in the backseat. its not a permanent fixture... only when i go to show off. thanks for the replys!

k, i gota number of questions.. why'd u keep the stock deck? 2. why'd u put it on the a/c-heater vents? do u not have a/c or a heater anymore, or did u just block off thoes 2 vents? 3. why didnt u just put the deck underneath the screen? that would look so much better.. and 4. nice job man, i have a indash flip out which i like cuz it looks very clean.. i wanted to do what u did, but thought, it'll be too much work, and im mostly tryin to focus on performance for now.. but like i said, nice job mang!!!

oh and i dont see a ignition key.. do u got push start? or whats up with that? and where'd u re-locate ur cig lighter? or did u take it off?

lol sorry for the questions, im just curious how u did this setup, and what u had to sacrafice or what not..

 

whew.. lets see if i can answer all these...

1. i kept the stock headunit because i'm a performance guy so i'll probably change out the speakers and thats as far as i go. also helps to keep break-ins to a minimal

2. I put it in the vents because first i didnt like the stock posistion so low and behind the shifter. second, when i get my gauges and other performance electronics, i wanted them in a central location and out of eye view of other racers. i dont want an a-pillar gauge setup cuz people can see wut i might be running. the a/c vent is blocked off behind it

3. i like it where its at and i'll work on making it look more stock when i get the time.

4. and yes, i have a push button start. its keyless and clutchless so i removed the original ignition key. and the cig lighter is gone too. i had to buy an assessory cig power plug from Autozone to power my power inverter.

so my a/c still works, push button is awesome and i have a cig lighter to plug stuff into. no sacrafices here

check out my website in my sig... it'll answer all yours questions!

 

clucthless? how?

 

you dont have to push the clutch in to start the car. just cut the 2 wires that go to the clutch pedal switch and put them on a manual switch for a clucthless start or a clever way to keep your car from being started in the first place

 

how are you suppose to play games on taht tiny screen????

Can you display your fuel map like in the movies???!!! I am still not seeing a point from a preformance stand point..... Its cool that you got it for free though..................

 

theres no performance point to it at all. thats why it's posted in the Audio video section. why do we any of the things we do to our cars?

 

looks pretty good. that screen is kinda small to play a game on though.
