So i took my car to my car stero place today to talk to them about relocating the INFO screen..

They said they will do it but they just dont know how ppl are mounting the info screen... he wanted me to find out if there are brackets that came be bought? or does it just sit there and wabble around??? please help if u have done this...

And also does the new LCD that is going in the info screens place just mount up to what the INFO screen was mounted toooo????

 

Mine fits snuggly in the existing hole. I believe I actually stuck a beer coozy in the bottom side. It does not move. Stick the screen down there and replace the trim. It's that easy. Be careful with the wire tape though...


BTW, this would only take a few minutes for you to do... Save some $$$

 

you should do it yourself dude, its easy

 

So it doesnt need a bracket down below ... u just place it down there?

Anyone have detaliled instructions of this job?

 

Dude all i did was move it down there and used some off that grey tape. Nothing to it. Hasnt moved since i did it.

I took about 10 min to move it maybe even less.

 

Well, I took my time and did it myself...but im not 100% HAPPY. i really dont like using duct tape to secure in my stereo .... but its there for now...

Anyone have any other ideas about securing the info screen...????

Once i get a 7.0'' lcd to go up top... How do i secure it ?????

 

someone needs to do a proper write up for moving the info screen

 

We want a sticky...is there one? I don't think so.

 

you can also you velcro straps on the inside to keep the screen from moving around.

 

thats a great idea rick... ill do that this weekend

 

Ill work on one asap

 

I used a piece of wood as shim on the top side of the screen, been fine for almost 3 years. As for the top I used adhesive and stuck the screen to the dash piece itself for a snug fit...
(oh and if your installer is asking you these types of questions, I'd go somewhere else!!)

 

No no he was asking about how ppl were installing the info screen cause' there is no bracket to mount to and he is not a fan of hte "duct Tape " way hahaha ....

 

Like J said, if an installer AT A SHOP ask how to mount something, go somewhere else. A good place won't use duct tape or any tape, mounting brackets aren't difficult to make.

 

RH: they are not using duct tape hahaha thats what someone on here said to use... they want to fiberglass it in etc... i was just looking for abasic install that i cold do

 

Our point is, that a good installer will find a way to mount it (obviously without duct tape) without having to ask...that's all.

 

I agree... both places i have gone to only want to do a fiberglass install..say it will look the best... but its very pricey to do custom work...

Im not looking for show stopping standards..just clean w/out hurting the wallet

 

i just moved mine down there and with very minimal duct tape that's not viewable - it's stayed there for almost 2 years now

 

well thats what on there right now but i just dont like using hte word duct tape and stereo together hahah
