What is your price range? You mean for a DIN size opening, right?
No internal amp for AM/FM Tuner? No DVD changer controls either?

I had this come up before and what I told that person was that I used industrial velcro to hold up a 270 grams monitor. The velcro is rated at 8 lbs of pull per sqaure inch when properly installed. I used what I thought was good at the time and this was good then and it's good now. If you think that the monitor is coming off, think again cause at 8 lbs of pull per square inch, you'll have to grab it tight and pull it off in order for this to come off. To this day, the monitor sits in the customer's vehicle and still inplace. If you don't think this is a good solution , read this article about velcro: https://www.foster-miller.com/projectexamples/m_general_industrial/last_armor.htm ------------- Jeff

ahh... i'm certain that we have all used velcro or double-sided tape in the install bay. you know, for fm modulated changers, ir eyes that need to be mounted on the dash, etc. All that I am saying is that a $40 changer install and a custom video system install are entirely different animals. even if longevity wasnt an issue, which i believe it may eventually be, it just doesnt seem to be a practice that should be up to a professional installer's standards. just a thought though jeff, i have utilized your advice before and appreciate your input. There are simply better methods to mount a monitor ------------- MECP certified, 5yrs experience, you probably otta listen bitch!!

Definitely true and thanks for the input. With the article that I had, I merely showed one of hundred of possibilities of mounting a monitor. My methods may be critiqued and some may even say it's unprofessional, but in the end it's effective. Again, thanks for your insight on this.

touche- did not mean to ensenuate you were "unprofessional". considering that your article was probably intended primarily for diy'ers, the technique was probably one of the best to show ------------- MECP certified, 5yrs experience, you probably otta listen bitch!!

ratraceintll, if you want a decent 7" TFT indash monitor then you should check https://www.mp3playerstore.com They have some pretty good deals there. If you don't like those prices, people sell those same models on ebay for cheaper than those prices -------------

i will sell it for what i got it for. no less. i'm not desperate to get rid of it, but if i got a good enough offer i would. i do have a dvd player that can come with it for more. i won the auction on ebay, and it didn't have a reserve so i got it and i bought a 120 dollar dvd player just for now ------------- [IMG]https://webpages.charter.net/turbokl/pnwavatar.jpg" height=80>
