I just need some ideas on where to place an LCD screen in a CRX viewable by both driver and passenger. So anyone who has done this or have pics of it please post!

I don't care if you think it's a theft magnet or it's not a good idea, or I'm stupid or LCDs are lame. I don't care what you have to think. No flaming, just answers. I have and XBOX that I soldered off the write protection to the BIOS and installed a Debian Linux distribution so it can play DivX/XviD content along with DVDs, MP3s, and 2d console emulators (nintendo, sega, etc.). I'm going to now put it into my 88 hatch. The XBOX will be hidden, and hopefully I can hide the LCD screen.

I just need some ideas on what people have done to get LCDs into their CRX dashboards or mounted anywhere, really. I'm leaning towards a 1 DIN LCD that could retract so I could hide it.

Being able to remove/hide the LCD would be a mega plus. I've had 1 stereo stolen and 3 other break in attempts so I don't really live in Pleasantville, USA, if you catch my drift.

Now (obvious fron sig) I don't have a CRX, but I use a 91 CRX Si Dash. So hence CRX Pics of LCD installed pref., but hatch and sedan lcd install pics also welcome.

I've also looked into sun visor LCDs, anybody have them or tried it. Like it? Complaints?

Thanks for any help!

 

Just get flip out... The crx console is tilted a little to the drivers side huh? Should be still ok its illegal to watch anyways while the car is moving...

 

i've also looked into flip outs, i need pics and answers from soneome who has done this

i know about the tilt, and I'm worried about viewability from the passenger.

 

my friend here on the board has itwhere the centerents are (88crxsi) i think

 

here is my setup 7inch widescreen. Worked out pretty good.

 

Now that is cushy Damn nice car you got there; it is nice to see something that isn't a stripped interior for once.

 

whoa......what a ******' awesome setup. For those subs...you make that enclosure yourself(all fiberglass) Damn i am jealous...

 

i attempted some fg'ing but it wasnt that great
u can see the lcd...in this pic kinda lol

 

damn that is damn sexy. I would love to have my crx look like that. with those subwoofers. LOL.

 

dayam, i kinda like the last one but that's def molded dashboard stuff, and the earlier one covers the center vents... it's coooold here in NY.

keep em coming though.

 

i'm putting a little text LCD in where the clock goes that will talk to the ECU to display anything u can think of and i will also have in/out temp, bat volt, and others. mis things.

i'll get pics up as soon as it gets underway.

The lovely lady in that avatar is damn sexy...but that's besides the point...
These sub config are.....

 

6.5 clarion lcd ghettofied into sunvisor using my intelligent right side of my brain.(yes that is a piece of a vcr on the right side of the screen.) lol






It is for sale by the way. It needs love.

 

Here's mine. I changed it now, the lcd is in the same spot, but i remoulded the screen housing right into the dash, as opposed to behind it like the pic.

 

For kid posting:
Get serious security before considering putting anything nice in it, i'm not talkin alarm that makes noise, i'm talkin alarm that disables everything in the car and has deadbolts going through the doors.

For EF_HYBRID:
thats cool, how did you remould the housing? is it Fiberglass?

West coast customs coulndt do something that nice,

 

yeah, if West Coast Customs saw the VAFC, they would of gotten rid of it and installed ANOTHER screen.

Ish: "what i'm gonna do here is take out this Silver/Blue box and install a Clock in the console. Since there is no clock on the dash, i'll hook you up!"

I dont know if you were asking me what mine does, but i was just kidding about the seats, so relax. I honestly don't think anyone on here really cares what your numbers are b/c most on here know your killing your "awesome" hp numbers with your overweight system. But if you like it then to you. It looks good, just not my cup of tea personally.

Overweight is a relative term in our chassis.
