Anyone with flush mounted screen (read)
I am thinking of puting in one of those microvision 7" screens in my dash (flush mounted). Can anyone who has this setup answer a few of my ?'s.
Does the screen come with a new trim piece for around the screen or do you just use the factory one? I saw how the cd player is mounted in the storage compartment below the screen, does that compartment need to be cut out so the deck will fit? I didn't want to do any major fabrication that couldn't be reversed if I ever wanted to take it out for selling purposes. How hard of a job is it to put it in and make it look good. A friend of mine installs stereos for all of our friends and does a real good job so I think he and I could do it if it's not terribly difficult. How is the the picture quality on the microvision 7"? Is there adjustments for picture ect like on a home tv? Also I can run a PS2 on it right, and the sound comes out car speakers, correct? Do I need anything special to set it up with PS2, do I need a deck with a certain imput or anything?
Thanks to anyone who responds, I want to do this really bad and trying to find out everything I need before hand so I don't run into any surprizes along the way.

Hey, I was wondering the same thing. I was looking to go the 7" screen in the dash route, but I found a relatively cheap sony head unit that has the motorized screen that I really like. It's a 7" wide screen with great clarity, and in general, looks really nice.

post this in the audio/video forum. I believe someone is selling one that fits in the center console perfectly for $250. Looks pretty damn clean too.
I just got a 5" LCD... but i'm mounting it on a flex-arm up front.

it is easy to put in, fit right where your bose goes with very little modification, you can hoke ps2 right up to it and run the audio to the aux on your deck. deck fits in the spare compartment perfectly, picture quality is great, u can adjust picture quality like contrast and stuff with the remote only thing it dosent have is sharpness i think i answered all your ?'s

you don't have to cut out the back? Or do I buy a whole new trim piece.

when you pull out the center radio consle there at two or four scews that hold hat bottom campartment in place.. if you remove the screws it just comes right out and any J size radio will fit perfictlly just as if it were on top in its original place.

PS2 in the glovebox? Let me in on the secret. I wanted to do that but I thought it wouldn't fit. I was going to move my changer from under the driver seat to the glove box and put the PS2 under there but if you know how to make it fit e-mail me directions or something. If you live in New York hook me up with ya service. Holla back.

The Screen can be mounted directly behind the original trim piece with either a really good hot glue or silicone.
So do you have to glue it in place or do you screw it in to the existing headunit brackets.
