I want an LCD for my car, but I want to leave the head unit stock, dont want to mount one on the dash, i have a sun roof, and i wont ever sit in the back seat (coupe). Any suguestions for what to get and where to put it?

It would be hard, but you might be able to fit on in the glove box. Would be a cool looking mod though. If you haven't already check out www.mp3car.com Lots of cool mods there.

pointless in the glovebox as you cant see it or have to look down to view it.. stupid IMO.. best place is in the center.. i guess you could mold it into the center counsil under the hvac area.. but then again, your still looking DOWN which i hate.. i like mine right where its at.. cant beat the spot IMO...

Yea glove was the only thing i could think of... You could try to get a screen to go into the sun visor... those are just hella expensive.

I think im just gonna ditch the stock unit and get an In Dash 7 inch motorized... Kenwood makes one that I really like, then i can connect my current kenwood Sirius Tuner up to it... that would rock.
And I plan on connecting a PS2 up to it, Xbox is too big, game cube sucks, and i dont want to leave my 360 in the car.

These are great if you're looking to hook it up to a computer.

won't ever sit in the backseat of the car? i guess you don't have a girl and never will? hahaha. yea i sit in the back all the time. sometimes with the girl and sometimes without.. cuz i can lay down sorta and rest.. much more comfortable for me then the front seat reclined.
and in a 96 ga gt.. you can fit two people in the back seat pretty comfortably... :D

ive seen some cars with monitors on the sun visors, but dont ask me where to buy them.
I would honestly save up for a nice in dash one.

1. Sitting in the back seat of your own car is lame, IMO.
2. Sittingi n the back seat of a coupe is even worse.
3. I got a little more class than to take my girlfriend into the backseat of my car... the only thing worse than the back seat for putting the moves on yourl girl would be a truck stop motel.
