I am trying to figure out how to install a 13.3 inch LCD monitor to the roof of my 96 Jeep grand cherokee. I do not have a sun roof, i have a overhead console that goes mid way through the back seats. I don't want to have the monitor offset to one side, if i remove the entire console i will have to have a new roof made, are their any alternitives???? i don't have the monitor yet so i am very open to options.

Go to a wrecker and get a Grand Cherokee roof liner without the center console/ information center and then you can mount the 13.3 " LCD monitor on this piece. This will simplifiy things ALOT and installation is a breeze because you have the liner out of the roof so you can actually screw the LCD monitor in without a problem on a work bench. You would have to remove the one that you have now regardless, so why not just get a used liner from a wrecker posted_image

There are several places on the net that sell replacement overhead consoles for a lot of vehicles that will replace your overhead console with one that is made for overhead displays... there are even some on ebay i think... there arent any for my truck but there are som for jeeps because I was searching for one to put in my extended cab truck and found several that werent for my truck but there were a couple for jeep's do a search on the internet using your favorite search engine and Im sure youll find what you need
