my screen can been seen by front seat passengers pretty good when the car is in drive, but i am looking into making a custom low auto shifter.
oh the head unit is a viscom dvd/vcd/mp3/cd/am/fm head unit with 4 x 15 watts output, 2 sets of rca audio and video inputs, plus front, rear and sub rca preouts it does what i need at this point of time |

looks good. how hard was the facia to modify? what did you use to modify it? Does yur screen sit in a housing if its own or in the facia itself? (so many question)

I am probably too old for this thread, but what is the point?????
Been driving for over 20 years all over this country, and never once had the need for a tv in a car, why stuff up a perfectly good car with dodgy installs. Noticed someone installed one ina BF GT-P  wish I had one of those, and I would certainly not stuff it up by putting a TV screen in it, just seems like a matter of more money than sense...
But I will probably get shouted down for my comments as a TV in a car seems more important than any practicallity.. When I bought my XR8 it had a sub box and some sony head unit that lasted about 2 hours after I bought the car home till it was listed on e bay and replaced with the genuine stereo system... |

And my sense is what got me the money to buy a GT-P. Sitting around wishing for s**t isn't going to get anything done. Go out and do it.

i see your point and really i have no genuine NEED for a tv screen in my car but none the less, i want to give it a go.
Its funny actually how what you like and prefer changes with age. I can remember when all i wanted was a little 4cyl rice rocket. Woudlnt waste my cash on one now. In a couple of years i can see myself expressing the same point as you are but may as well live it up while im young. Damn us young people, damn us all.

HA! Thats funny. When i bought my XR6 around 2 hours later I put my aftermarket head unit in. Standard stereo is dissapointing. |

yes the screen is in a housing so it can be removed. you have to do it the way to be able to access the standard facia mounting screws. as for tools and materials, i used half a hacksaw blade, expander foan and bog. i am atm trying to get it to a better finish then i have
