92turboLE Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Does anyone know where you can find a Mobile Video monitor WITHOUT the bezel. I know that they sell monitors with no plastic housing for reasons of in dash (usually in place of an airbag) application. My plan: To use the center console for a DIC and remove the DIC and place a TV monitor in its place. I figure it would have to be about a 7 inch from what i can tell by eyeballing it. I would then mold the DIC into the dash (like extend it out to the right). Anyone know where to get these type of monitors. if not i could use a regular one, but i want a more factory look to it. - Justin Quote
dykz34 Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 This one looks to be about the right size: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?st=0&st2=0&st3=0&DID=7&Product_ID=4713&DS_ID=3 Quote
slick Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 That place is only about 30 miles from my house. Quote
92turboLE Posted December 3, 2003 Author Report Posted December 3, 2003 i like that one, but thats a hefty price tag. almost 400 bones... way out of my budget I think i'll find a $100 one on Ebay and see how that works, then if i like it, maybe keep it or upgrande to a higher resolution one. here is what im looking at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3062526436&category=48608&rd=1 it is more then just a monitor - but thats alright, im only gonna use it for video input from the deck and i'll just disable the controls and built in speaker (i think it has one). - Justin Quote
92turboLE Posted December 4, 2003 Author Report Posted December 4, 2003 ok, measured the bezel for the DIC. It is the EXACT dimensions of a 7 inch 16:9 aspect screen!!! It is exactly 6 inches across and 4 inches high so i baught a screen last night - well bid on it anyway for 39 bones. It is just the screen and associated electronics to make it work. No plastic housing. It should fit as the screen i baught, the over all dimensions are something like 153mm wide (the opening on the bezel is 151mm) and 105mm tall (opening on bezel is 103mm. So that should fit up perfectly flush and have enough overlap to secure it down. I Cant wait. I will post pics when i get it in. - Justin Quote
