I finished my screen install today will post pics for all tomorrow.

 

screen installed as in HEADREST TV's, because if thas so... then u need to really hit me off with some details, because im planning to do that soon also, i really jus need to kno pricings so i dont get ripped off and stuff... holla back..

 

no not in headrests. I removed the center bin and not an astray compartment and installed a 7in monitor.

 

oh snap that sounds hot... price, and how you did it please. ive been tryin to find a screen that would fit in that area, can you give me some numbers...

 

well its not the cleanest install. I am waiting till school is over so I can live with out my car for two or three days to have a fibergalss piece made but here are the pics, and it is a legacy LSCM71 monitor.

WOw that loooks nice... how much was it, and did you do it yourself? if you did, can i get some instructions, b/c ive been lookin for a screen that would fit. also now that youve gotten the screen, what else you gunna add, because a dvd player, or ps2 would look pretty nice..

 

the screen was $175 on ebay. I have a ps2 under the rear part of the passenger seat like other people have posted on the forum. I did not do it my self a friend of mine did it for me. it is just a piece of bent sheet metal that we cut after making a paper pattern. it is then just bolted to the sheet metal. I will post a couple more pics soon.

 

wow, that looks tiight. my only suggestion would be to get like a cover or something to hide it, you know, like a piece that slides down over it when your not in the car or something, otherwise thats hot!

 

Thats a good idea but do you have any ideas on a way to make one cause I am at a lose on how you could make a cover that could slide up or down to cover it.

 

That's a really nice setup! Enjoy!
Does it look clear at that angle and location?

 

yes it is very clear from that angle and I just added a ground loop isolator to it to remove interference from video and audio and it does work.

 

Instructions on how you did all that please.. just email me the details please, or u can just post it up here.. but thas vital info for me to get started with a video setup of my own

 

Here are some more pics of the screen installed some with the PS2 hooked up

That looks so hot...
I was thinking about doing the same thing if i didn't get the navi. To think, its gonna look even better once you get the surrounding panel totally done. (droool)

 

Take a wood block slightly larger then the opening and sand it to give the same arc as the cover that you removed.

 

heat a small sheet of acrylic in a oven till it starts to sag. then drap it over the block

 

do you have any examples that either you did or someone else did

 

make a template out of cardboard first then cut a hole for the screen

 

then cut the exterior shape to fit the dash, apply with industrial velcro

 

i am confused

 

sorry i dony have any pics available. sorry for the chopy response. i have probs with this board for some reason.

 

 

should look lie that ^^^^

 

Lurch the PW champion!

 

PW? Pussy watcher?

 

Something like that

 

where do i get acrylic and will this give me the look of fiberglass or something like the trim that is already in the tsx and will it be easier than making it out of fiberglass

 

that would look good, nice and clean.

 

I'd still go with the fiber glass.. and how im guessing you did the installation, etc. but how much would a installation like this be if one were to take it to the shop? im thinking about doing something similar, just dont wanna get ripped off for labor..

 

I do not know what it would cost if you went to a shop and had it done with sheet metal like that. I had mine done by a friend of mine. I am sure if you live in PA he would be happy to do it for a small fee compared to what a shop would charge.

 

Sorry im in Orlando Florida, dont kno of any TSX owners here except for Z, and thas a busy guy there... wonder if anyone else around here knows how to, or already has done mods to their TSX.

 

Anyone with a lil advice here.. holla back peoples, i wanna get this install during spring break.. which is about 2 weeks away for me.. gotta start ordering things.. how do you like that legacy screen? im thinkin bout gettin that one... are you planning on doing the headrest as well? it would certainly look hot! help me out guys..

 

Hi Mr: Is it easy to replace the shift knob?

I tried to twist it counter-clockwise, but doesn't come out.

 

Yes it's easy but there's a lock nut under the shift knob that you need a wrench to loosen before you can unscrew the knob.

 

i really like the legacy monitor the only problem is when it is really ssunny out its a little hard to see but i think some window tint will solve some of that. i am eventually planning on doing the headrest tvs also, but i am currently working on putting in a computer so i can play divx and use it for gps

 

Im planning on gettin the legacy monitor, it fits nice.. and looks good also.. what price should i expect from the body shop... when i ask them to install the tv... also would you think a dvd player is better then a ps2.. like what would look better.. i kno ps2 has dvd included.. but i want a clean finish.. unless i do custom ps2 install....

 

I wish I could tell you what to expect for the install but I do not know cause I had my friend do it for free. I have no idea if a dvd player would be better, I do know it would fit better though cause obviously it is smaller. My next thing is I am putting a computer in my trunk and then running usb cable to the glove box for a external dvd drive.

 

DAmn thas pimp! Ill look around for the install prices.. thanx though

 

no prob
