Thread: Complete bolt in Screen/CPU/HD/PS - indash

Yeah - i'd like to make something that can be easily undone. If I sell the car, I want to be able to move it back to stock.

If anyone is interested I have listed the chassis, bezel and Xenarc Screen for sale in the classifieds. I can no longer use it but I am sure someone with a Ford can!

LISTING

Do you think that would fit in my escape?

WAIT...... So you went from Mustang to F150? Thats a drastic change. I did the same thing though, went from a old 84 944, to a Jeep Grand Cherrokee, then to this truck.

Not with out some modifications. The bezel is not made for that year escape. I'm not saying it won't work, but it will not be "bolt-in"

Nope I went from a 06 ford mustang to an 08 dodge dakota. I wanted to buy new and the 09 fords are top dollar, got a steal on this 08 dakota. I finally got my 4x4 V8 to play in the snow. Hopefully I will have this paid off early, so I can just own it and use it when necessary. I already am thinking about what car to get next, however I want to own a truck so I took the plunge.

HAHAHAHA, im so blind, I just realized that your icon is a Dodge Dakota. How do you like it? I hated the Dakota and Durango when Dodge sent them down different design paths on the 05 Dakota and 04 Durango. The 05 Dakota was so ugly. The 08 has better looking headlights, which makes it look better, but I still hate that blocky design.

The design is ok, it's grown on me. ALl trucks share the same basic design, for me it's all about utility. I just went with the best deal I could get since this is the first NEW vehicle I purchased. Last 3 have been leases.

The real reason I bought a truck though is for days like today, I could care less what it looked like but care very much about the V8 4x4 since it's been snowing all day and there is about 8" of fresh snow on the ground. The mustang would have been parked indefinitely, but the truck; out all day Took the wife out to the movies even. This thing just launches from a stop in deep snow, barely spins a tire, it just goes.

Anyway Just a FYI, the screen and chassis from this build have been sold to a fellow Michigander and are no longer available. Did one more test burn before packing for shipping. I will miss you Xenarc!!

Gratz on the new ute blk02si, it almost has as much power as my car lol. But I'm sure it would go heaps better in the snow. It never snows here though so I can't be exactly sure

I really like the idea of you double din cases and the design looks very good but I wanted to know if you or any of your customers have had any problems with the pcs heating up in the case? The case looks like it has pretty good ventilation but the double din space is still fairly small for a pc to be enclosed in. I know aluminum has favourable properties for this task but does it stay cool even after hours of usage?

Even if it does stay cool I would like to add a fan just for peace of mind. Where do you think the fan could be placed?

Welcome Nosajs,

The fan could be placed anywhere you desire, I custom fabricate the case and can machine 1 or more holes to fit any size fan. If you build using efficient hardware, LED screen, small form factor, etc, heat is not an issue at all. My setup never overheated, not even once, not to mention that more recently available hardware runs even cooler.
