I just scored one, what should I do with it?
I have a laptop with a 15 inch screen as well, I don't mind hacking it to bits either, is it carputer time with an epicly large cabin display alongside a bootlid mounted screen+laptop? (Laptop on bootlid, screen will be reversed so when closed the screen faces out so it can be viewed)
Ideas plz :D
got air bags? i was planning on sticking a 17 or 19" lcd above my glove box but now have a VRX with air abgs so that idea went out the window!

Thankfully I don't have airbags :D Don't fancy cutting up or replacing my dash though, maybe I should just replace the glovebox with the screen. Or put it on the roof facing downward, booyah lol

i was thinking of doing this, but mount the screen in a airbag cover thing, then put that in the dash, so when i sell just stick another airbag cover on and it would look stock (if that makes sence), to make it easier for the passanger to operate the carputer.. but didnt want to risk cutting the dash..
you could alwayz give me the monitor.. im sure i can find a use for it :D

put in ur bum..
but on a serious note - do something super different...
maybe a FG centre armrest do-thingy?
why dont you do like "pimp my ride" and put them in the side of your bumper bar or something, lol
Couldnt you have it on an arm or something, or fold-away so that its not always sticking out, perhaps folds under the glovebox?

Sounds pretty good :D
There is a guy on here that started to upgrade his old 7" screen setup to a 15.4" AGES ago, I believe it's still in the works.

I should just put it behind the back window and make it display obscene messages to drivers behind me, that would be epic.

Can put it on rails and have it slide up out of the boot :)
