I dont see why this wont work but seems too simple..? any help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting to somehow hook up a 7" screen down in the cigarette space below the icc. Only problem I would have is the amount of room between the gear knob and the screen (manual car). I could see me putting my knuckles thru the screen when selecting 1st, 3rd and 5th lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see why this wont work but seems too simple..? any help would be greatly appreciated you wont be able to fit a full double din head unit down the bottom (well not without cutting some things out)if you see my first image, I did have a 7 inch touch screen down the bottom for a while but it was very awkward to use.

Just wanted something to replace the parrot system I got now. Are you saying they wont fit because they go too far back into the dash? This sux lol! No easy way to put a screen in these cars.

I will be hooking myself up with one of these. Had internet capabilities, full bluetooth phone calling and music playing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
