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?

im out of ideas..

Grip72 · 11-21-2002, 07:15 PM

Man you're useless..jj

Daviso27 · 11-22-2002, 06:27 PM

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

Daviso27 · 11-22-2002, 06:29 PM

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

11-25-2002, 10:21 PM

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..

11-25-2002, 11:46 PM

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.

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....

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.

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,...

11-27-2002, 07:53 PM

can someone tell me what "jfwy" means?

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
