thats right guys. Thanks to a great deal from Redmax...I've decided to pioneer a bit. Guys with a GXE dash...the microvision screen fits nearly PERFECTLY.
I had to cut a bit of the trim of the screen..and unfortunately its not quite as TIGHT as the 4th gen, so it's gotta be glued in, or I have to figure out a way to hold it in with some sort of brace. Here are some preliminary pictures....
the only thing left to do is figure out where im putting my source(Pioneer dvh 5000mp)

ps...Don if ure reading this, expect an IM/PM from me soon

 

Where did you get the microvision screen from? I can't find any links to places that carry this screen. How is the quality it provides? Features?

 

as the thread says....i got it from Redmax
pm him, he's working on a GD right no

 

Looks great, can't wait to see where u put the headunit.

 

thats the fun part....hehe

 

Yes, keep us posted, if you can figure out something decent, I would be interested in copying your stuff. BTW what is the difference in the SE and GXE trim.

 

no prob...the gxe kit offers the trim around a single din and a pocket....whereas the SE brings a double din unit that extends all the way flush on the console...

 

i'm looking to do something similar with my se. where can we put the headunit??

 

depends wheter your HU or if any at all....can be vertically mounted....

 

How do you then control the HU? How/what does it output to the screen?

 

you need an aux output on your HU

 

Awesome, I just paid for my screen this past weekend and I'm going to tackle this project as soon as I get it. Keep us posted on how everything is going and what's you've done.

 

Do you mean an aux. video output? How do you control the HU and what is output to the screen?

 

unless your hu plays dvds....an external dvd play will be required....easily fit in glovey or under seat....or can be custom mounted in the cupholder area.....

screen has video in......from dvd player which has audio out into HU aux for sound

 

Got it. So this is just for playing DVD's in the car and not controlling the HU or anything like that.

 

yup....unless you have enough money for a double din all in one...like Kenwood and eclipse offers....

 

Eclipse

I want.....

 

Any update on how this is going? I should be getting my screen sometime this week. Also, figured out where to put your DVD player yet?

 

Working on it now.

keep us posted

 

hey Don are you doing the install? DJ, looking good!!! you are the man!!!

 

But uhhh Corey... you know why...

--Don

 

How this install going guys? I'm getting my screen tomorrow and I'm going to start working on it this weekend. If I can get it to fit my dash that is. Anyone know where I can get a GXE dash?

 

call Dave B at south point nissan for the GXE dash...he always hooks .orgers up
install should be done fairly soon, expect a write up

 

You guys should check out www.mp3car.com , there are a lot of guys running headunitless. Using a trunk mounted pc with an fm tuner, these guys have it all. Dvd, mp3, vcd, divx, gps, games, internet, etc. I built my setup for only $400 cad, including the 7" monitor.

 

i was working on this for awhile....i was going to put climate control in middle console then put headunit where climate control was (underneath screen)....


-but now i have other plans-

 

or my 2nd idea was to put climate control in cupholder like this---->

 

I'm thinking I'm wanting to keep my stock Bose HU. Is a FM modulator all I need to get sound from my Xbox? Will a FM modulator work with the stock Bose HU?

 

in the cupholder nice!

 

Yes it will, but where would your radio go?

--Don

 

Well I've changed my mind on keeping the stock HU. I was going to make something to fit my HU and Xbox under the glove box off the floor but I won't be able to reach it so I'm going to get something with a remote. Thanks though.

 

jsut an idea..not sure if it works..but..y not make a top mount dash.. sits above on the cieling betwen the driver and passanger.. just a thought for ya.. sort of like a big rig setup...

 

Here's my thoughts..

I have an indash 7" screen in my car and a kenwood MP3 deck with an x-box in the trunk.. I have torn my dash apart numerous times over and over,..

I think i am going to take apart the 7"indash screen, and mount it permenantly into the schoshe POS kit i have.

For my Kenwood, i think i found a place where it will fit nicely..

Under the climate control, wher eyour cigerette ashtray is, you can custom mount the deck there.. there is more than enough room behind there.. You just have to make a trim out of fiberglass which is not that hard...

I am going to start this in the summer when the temps are warmer, while i am doing my custom fiberglass trunk as well..

Here's a link to a guy who has his faceplate relocated to the visor. http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/show...isor+faceplate

 

That guy did way too much extra work. He could have just went under where he mounted the TV. I cant count how many 5th gen Accords I did like that.
