i have 1 6.8" screen and i can get a second exactly the same... im tired of it sitting on my center dash... i want it in the visors... can anyone give me any help on how to install it there? what would be the easiest way? also can anyone maybe think of a way that it wont be permanent like so if i remove them it wouldnt be noticible... another question... how much are they to replace? are the 4th gen and 5th gen visors the same? could i goto a junk yard and get them? how much should they cost about?
lemme know please
thanks

At one point me and my installer talked about doing it. 6.8 is to big for our visors...5.8 would work they need to be tft's.

the reason it don't quite fit is cuz the part left around the screen is gonna be very small and therefor not hold the screen very tight...it will be flimsy. What you could do is just get a slightly larger visor. Replacment visers in general cost about 200 bucks per pair.

Is there anyway to get a screen (and what size screen) plus a HU in the Double Din area of the current (5th gen) radio? I was thinking about installing a DVD system, but wanted a permanent screen. I would probably have to make a custom faceplate too though and wiring a car w/Bose would definitely be another problem.

Eclipse has an tv screen/cd player/tapeplayer all in one that is what I would say you should go for. Last I knew It retailed for just under 2g's. Other opotions are to mount the screen where the factory headunit is and then mount another headunit say in the glovebox or get a changer put it in the glove or trunk.
