Dual Screen Display on Non Navi

I was one of those few back then who bought a non navi and regretted (2006) ever since, I've been finding ways to make it look nice without a pop out headunit...

In 2009, i relocated the temperature screen to the bottom and add in a 7inch monitor which attached with a single din dvd player in the glovebox..

Recently a friend gave me a sony headunit, I was like..hmm lets try to place this in the radio nob area..and it works perfect after a few hours of rewiring everything.

The new unit gave me the ability to access my phonebook, play audio thru bt and pandora, allows calls to come in etc..with a backup camera.

Here's some photo for yall to see, its a little dusty because i didnt get to clean it yet..

Interesting setup but I seem to think that screens where the knobs are are just to damn low. Looks out of place when it's that low. Why not do a CarPC with the screen in the stock radio spot?

If you like it then that is all that counts. But I agree that the refinement is lacking.

If I was going to all the trouble of adding a touch screen, I would have a car PC.

i can understand Car PC and the need for a screen on top...what i can't figure out is why do you have two screens to begin with? The top one doesn't even show you back-up cam. If you wanted to add extra screens put them in the visors and headrests. imo
