this is my diy lcd and camera install.the switches are hidden in the otherwise useless pocket.one is on/off for the upper lcd the other is on/off for the camera.not pictured is a hidden switch for the upper lcd to switch between camera(aux input} or head unit display when head unit screen is closed. i had to dismantle the 7" lcd to fit the brain behind it. i also used cardboard to protectfrom shorts.wiring was routed around the windshield moulding completely hidden.next will be to wetsand off the lettering and thenpaint it. also will countersink screws and cover with colored tabs that match the paint to hide the screws.
what choo think?
oh,and yes i cut the roof liner to make the unit fit up there.

eh doesnt look that great....why did you mount it up there? what year car? does it fold down or something? and what is the screen hooked to?

 

ummm....ok [sm=dontgetit.gif]

 

Interesting place to mount it.
WHy there?

 

for those who dont read,(and probably wont read this either)it is hooked up to a color camera(alsouse it sometimes forxboxand navi unit),and the head unit dvd player. it is not finished cosmetically yet.
i put it there because it is less distracting at night than the head unit screen and because it is very very comfy to watch dvds with the seat layed back. aside from the fact that i can hook other things up to it such as my nav unit,leaving my head unit to display whats playing while i use my navi on the overhead.i considered making it flip down as it would have been a simple thing to do,but it served no function in my case. i have two more screens which i may put in the back for my son,but not likely anytime soon.
