You want to be able to view it from the front seats or rear?

ShEaNy 11-21-2002 01:00 AM

right in the center console? playing games? u can see it from anywhere there...right by ur deck area...

slowEJ6 11-21-2002 01:36 AM

what ^ said.

Grip72 11-21-2002 07:41 AM

I was thinking by my deck...but then my shifter will be in the way of view sometimes. I would like it to be in the front to the rear/frotn passangers can all see it.

ShEaNy 11-21-2002 02:36 PM

hang it it form the ceiling in the front?:crazy: :paranoid: im out of ideas..

Sell the Accord, buy a 4thGen Prelude and put the screen here...

With the plastic piece on...It cant be seen when the screen is off, bt when turned on you can see it clearly.

the glove box... you dont need to be distracted while driving and besides in the box you can make it go side to side

Grip72 11-25-2002 11:08 PM

Ya..i had it in there temporarily but its sorta hard to see and with it open it makes less room for the front passanger and i need it somewhere without much glare..

Although I HATE this with a passion, an easy way would be to gooseneck from the floor. They're usually about 40 bucks, but it attaches to the floor or center console, and the screen is mounted at the top of the bendable "pipe"(for lack of better word). This way if you get pulled over, you can bend it so its only facing the passenger. They won't fall for it, but they usually give you the shadow of doubt and let ya' go.

HoLun 11-26-2002 02:08 AM

yeah I suggess in the glove box, less tempting to car theives

Grip72 11-26-2002 01:22 PM

Ya.i think it might just go in the glovebox...or behind the console in the middle of the rear floor area...that'd be alright i suppose

Spazum888 11-26-2002 01:49 PM

LCD > licance plate

lol no i agree have up hanging from the top. either that have a din that flips out where the cd player would be....

SofaKingSmooth 11-27-2002 01:13 PM

you can put it on the pasanger visor or in the glove box.

Grip72 11-27-2002 02:37 PM

Ya. hanging from the top wouldn't be bad..but i don't really want other cars to view it or to have it in easy view for people walking by my car. I will hafta find some time to go out there with the monitor and try different areas. I also don't want a mess of wires runninng everywhere or an ugly stand/hanger apparatus looking messy. I dont' htink my visor is strong enough man.

juvenile 11-27-2002 03:48 PM

lol dude, you're basically taking most places out.
Whatever the people suggest, you find 10 reasons to say why it shouldn't go there.
I guess then that you should decide where you want it, or decide where it will have the least negative effects (by negative effects I mean say in spot A you hate how it hangs but in spot B it'll be distracing and hard to shift AND thieves can see it. So Spot B outweighs spot A since it's a worse place to put it.)
See what you want from it and palce it where it fits best fo ryou.

Grip72 11-27-2002 07:44 PM

you're dumb juvenile..jfwy..i dont' know where to put it so i am asking about good ideas to place it cuz i don't know where..i'm on the phone so i don't know what i'm saying,...

rakugaki 11-27-2002 07:53 PM

can someone tell me what "jfwy" means?

rakugaki 11-27-2002 08:02 PM

oh yeah. is the prelude radio console double din? if it is, maybe customize it and put a good sized lcd screen in place of your radio? maybe put the radio somewhere else too? yeah, got that idea from ebay.

Grip72 11-27-2002 08:19 PM

I don't really have much room in my front console where the cd player is..There is a little slit underneath my cd player that's about 1.5-2" thick that just has a black plastic pop-out piece. The monitor would probably slide in there face down, but i don't know how to have it to slide out smoothly. Plus when it pops up it owuld be in the way of the audio contorls...hmm

ebpda9 11-27-2002 08:26 PM

have it pop out the middle of the dash. kind of like that tray on the subaru foresters
