I want to know too... I've seen 4"x6" screens on e-bay for as low as $80.00

I looked on ebay and I didn't find any. I need to go look again.


btw, are there any that will fit right where the vanity mirror is at?

There were others but I didn't feel like going through the entire list. Some of them looked really cheap, too so beware - you get what you pay for. Good luck

I know they have them at Hifi Buys if there is one in your area, I have been thinking of getting two one for each mirror and putting my PS2 in I don't like the LCD's that are in the sunglass holder or the ones that pull out of the head unit, they are much to obvious, Sorry I don't know how much they run but my guess is between 100 and 300

I was thinking about putting two in the mirror also, but alot of people have them. I don't want the in dash one either cuz one of my friends has one. I want something different from everyone else, so i have thought of somewhere else to put them.

Partsexpress.com has nice "LCD Modules" as they call them. They aren't quite finished, but they have a 5" 3/4 thick LCD (very thin) that cost like 135 or so. It's great. Just go to http://www.partsexpress.com and then click video modules (I think). SOmething like that, just look around. LCD screens (ones that are finished off are more epxensive, but you don't need to finish it off since the metal brackets will be burried in the sun visor. I'm sure there are cheaper sites, but I like this one.

So you're going to put them in the sun visor? Have you been to a car show lately? Every car there has an LCD in the visor.

Put one in the steering wheel. Now that would be unique.

when i first posted this thread, i was planning to, but now i might try to get it put on the compartment above the stereo like how alot of people the s-afc. that's what i ment about being different.

i managed to fit a 5.6" lcd in my sunvisor. I think it's the same the one that partsexpress sells. It cost about $160. Not many cars at shows i've been to have sun visor screens that big. Most are 4-5". It makes the sub visor a little bulkier but it still holds up securely. Looks really nice from outside the car at night.

Groundrocker, every Celica sold in Eroupe, Australlia, Japan, ect. has a screen there straight from the factory. Plus I've seen a few different pics of peeps puting screens there posted on this sight. Plus I have a screen there...

well I've never seen pics of the screens there. do you have a pic of yours? well it doesn't matter, I might go with the screens in the sunvisors after all. I don't want to mess anything up before the next show.
