Default Sapph and 3dr In Dash TFT screens any pictures ?

If you have installed an in-dash TFT screen in your 3dr or sapph, could you post pictures up please ?

Any further information on how you did it, etc... would be much appreciated too.

Thanks in advance
Greg

RsRob and MrsB19bal (I suspect it's ginge wearing a skirt again ),

How did you mount it in the vents ? Can you get a plate to do it, or was this a custom job ?

How secure is it ?

Although I'd prefer to keep the top vents if at all possible

Hey ginge, you taken that skirt off now

Will bear the idea in mind, I am still looking for a way which won't loose me the air vents though Trust me to be complicated

Took the clock/computer display out today, I reckon I might be able to fit it in there by adapting the surround as you suggest (mdf + leather, vinyl or paint), only thing is that the air duct to the vents gets in the way at the back, so that might need some doctoring too

Why can't it be easy
