i just recently saw/emailed the owner of a max who had the 7" microvision. he said he got it installed at a local shop however. where did you get the screen from anyway? i heard it was around 230 with a Group deal recently (thats an awesome price).

contact RedMax
he is the one who has them and i belive 230 sounds just about right..
he says the tv comes with everything u need to install it..
but u might wanna ask him or look through some threads....

It's not that hard. It just takes some time and creativity
I helped another org member do his. We had to trim down the sides of the plastic frame to get the screen to sqeeze between the dash panel and the metal frame that holds the radio and heater unit. We trimmed it just enough to fit in there snug. If you take the dash apart and take the factory radio out, you should be able to get a better idea. It can be done, but I can't make promises on how easy it will be for you. Good luck.

Did it myself, no glue, screws, drilling, tape, etc. was required. I think I was just likely, squeezed it right in..not moveing cause the pressure is enough to hold it still.

Re: I have a 7.2"
Now, that's gorgeous. Will, I take it your screen is different than the one from the group deal. Would you mind telling us where you got yours from? I like yours since it fills up the sides better. Any additional type of customization needed to the bezel? Or plug and play?

That is sweet. How did you route all the wires from the Play Station to the TV? Did you swing them from the back of console, or did you cut a hole or something?

Hey metallic97gxe I like your install! For any one that wants the screen in his install, I can get the same screen for around the same price as he purchased his, So you don't have to search e-bay. but there is a huge difference in clarity of the 2 screens. Thats why I have not sold the screen in his dash.
