Cheap in car screen wanted.
Nothing to expensive,just fancy having a go at fitting in car DVD.
Thinking of trying to conceal it in the centre console.

Dont want to pay to much as im not sure ill even keep it in there yet,all depends on what the finished product comes out like!

So what have you got?
Nice and cheap please,misses doesnt even want me to get one

mate you can pick some new 6.5" screens up for under Ԛ£100. just gotta search for them.

if you keep aneye open youll always found a bargain on them,.,


i got a flip out screen on eBay for Ԛ£60

I heard the motorised/flip out screens won't work very well in e30's which is why I havn't got one, quite fancied one a while back with sat nav but that's alot of money for something to take a risk on. Apparently the screen fauls on the indicator switch. Anyone had any experience with this?


Ben.

yep, i have a motorised one. it fouls the indicator stalk but you can just put the indicator in parking light position, and it works fine. or just fit a panel from an m3, so clock/obc is on drivers side and screen on passenger side.

i get the same problem with the indicater stalk, i just flash my full lights when ding the screen out, it can be a bitch!

because my sceen is on a different unit i put my screen on the heaters on the dash and no problems from that

Thaqts where i was gonna put one, in the heaters slot

This is the best way of doing it IMO, looks orignal so a quick glance doesn't give it away, also confuses people at shows that know E30's

Is that just an m3 dash then? like the centre bit?

Dan
is standard m3 centre piece

just wondering

how much of the stalk stem would you have to cut down to make the screen clear it??

surely it cant be that hard to do??

i have a broken stalk somewhere might have a play sometime

Just the little center piece, heater controls, obc and stereo.

Needs a bit oftrimming in places to get it to fit, but well worth it, nice lcear view of the screen unlike in the normal position.

well im still looking for a cheap one if anyones got one spare!

Tried Ebay but the cheapest ones are still a bit pricy,bearing in mind its for a trial and error project,that untill i have a go im not even sure ill use it!

Anyone,cheap?
