most of my weekend was spent putting a new head unit in and screen, head unit is under passenger seat,
and the screen was in a horrible casing, that i cracked open, cut out the buttons for the screen and put them in the coloum box wired with cat 5 cable, ..... (only thing i had but worked well) :D

bought them both off a mate who rolled his car then he got a new car with a kick **** audio set up in it.

so after hours of work i have the before and after somewhere below
first time in putting in a screen, so tell me what u think
Thanks,

nice job man looks real neat
i hate it everytime i have to pull my cover off , prick of a thing:P

Very Nice.. that screen sits nice and flush with the console too.. almost looks factory..

Nice and neat, so how do you operate the head unit, is it a touch screen? If so then awesome idea.:D

on the second pic, there is a shiny thing on the bottom right of the screen, its a remote sensor that goes to the head unit

not bad for the head unit and the screen for $300
still rather a touch screen tho

that looks nice and neat man. good work

Good job mate, that looks slick

Looks good mate.

If you don't mind, can you tell us what screen you used? Looks like its a nice fit, did you have to hack anything up?

I'm looking at doing the same thing.

thats nice. what brand is that?

no i dont mind at all, im not sure on what brand it was, but yes it was a good fit,
i got the screen and the head unit off a mate who rolled his P.O.S commodore and then got a new car with a sick stereo setup in it,

the head unit is sound storm, (i know its ****, but im working on getting a new one)
but ill find out what brand it is....

and yes i did have to hack things up abit, but not the car itself,
the screen came in a casing that got un-screwed and taken out of the case, (it was good that the buttons were on a sep circuit board than that actual screen, made it alot easier to work with), then hacked up the casing to get 4 screen control buttons out (on/off, brightness ect..) then mounted them in the coloum box..

i done this because ive heard somehting about a law coming in about the lcd screens in cars and being a distraction to drivers, but not 100% sure on that, but anyway, now i can turn my screen off and on without affecting the music playing.

but ill get the info on the screen tomorrow at work, so ill let u know then

yeah i have a pioneer in my car with an av master or whatever and it is overkill for me.

they shouldnt be on while driving. i find it hard not to watch while driving. so it only dvds only come on while stationary

Thats a really good idea champ, I have been looking to do something similar but could'nt work out where to put the headunit, so you've given me some good ideas.

Ive done the same thing in my car, but i cut the ash tray and lighter out and moulded the HU in there its not quite finished yet, needs a bit more fibre glassing around the screen and then painting.
