LCD above head unit?
looking for someone to possibly do a custom install on my z. i have the touring edition non-navi and would like to keep my stock radio and have an LCD or navi/dvd screen in the top area above the radio...any ideas or suggestions? thanks again

CarPC's are always a good install because they give you a lot of freedom for features. They're a bit involved, and knowing computer hardware is needed. Have a look at the 350Z installs over at mp3car.com to get an idea of what you could do.

The really annoying thing is that the door on the binnacle doesn't slide into the console like the 350Z did, meaning you'll probably had to remove the door if you put anything there. 350Z computer installers loved that because it was essentially a free hide-away for the expensive looking computer.

^ again, agreed!
|
maybe we can install a sliding cover for the 370z? i think that would be a cool idea. and i think a LOT of people would like it if they had an lcd in the chubby.
|
Going from memory, pics of the behind the cubby taken appart, I don't think there is enough depth behind there to make it a sliding cover.
The leather of the cover is kind of growing on me. I am entertaining the idea of just getting a portable 4.3" gps unit and putting it in the cubby and keeping it open when using the gps. |
theres like pics in japan of people putting LCDS where the cubby is! ill try n find them..but I think its a good investment to put an LCD/navi in the cubby..because soo many people want aftermarket then the blah navi from nissan. Plus with the whole aftermarket in the stock radio..u have to configure the controls on the steerwheel..and i dont want to mess with that. I just want navi where the cubby is..nothing like all in one crap..

I'd love to just put a Navi into the cubhole and call it a day. Find those pics if you can. |

(in fact, I have pics, see bellow) No matter how I placed it, I could clearly see the full screen from my regular sitting position, and could easily operate the unit. If anything, i'd look for something a bit bigger to fit in there. It should be no problem rigging something that would fix the unit in place. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...der/photo3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...der/photo4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...der/photo5.jpg |
yeah i have the same Garmin nuvi....and i too placed mine in there however i still think a flat LCD would look amazing...even if i have to get ride of the door its not a big deal...most cars have the navi right there anyway with no cover...keep us updated with those pics from japan
