Thread: TFT fold out of dash LCD 6.4"

I was planning on this, until I realized that to fit it in the dash, I'd have to use a 6.4" screen.

I really want a 8.4 or 9.6

But it'd be cool none the less

Thanks for the respose. Yeah well I thought there wasn't much in the way of a fold out VGA input monitor out there already.

I think I will make one then, well at least give it a good go It will be Single DIN but

moxnix : What I'm talking about is a 12V line that you apply power to, and whilst there is power on the wire, the screen is folded out. You could hook this to a switch, key or even the puter, so it only comes out when the PC is on. When the power is removed from the wire, the screen folds away.

I'm looking for alternatives to the Pioneer AVX 7000, as it seems the best ready made thing, but they all lack that VGA/XGA touch Does anyone know of a screen (ie 6.4" TFT) over here in Oz? I think I'm going to have to order it from www.flat-panel.com otherwise.....

ps. I'll let you know what happens...

Yeah it worked quite well indeed, it's just that I borrowed one to test it with, and then found out I still need the silly master unit ($900 Aus) just to allow the headunit to work, that means it was gonna cost about $3000 Aus just to get started, so I thought there must be a cheaper and better way. Also it's wide screen format meant that the whole screen wasn't used, or it worped the screen to fit in in, which did look crappy. It did do 800*600 res though, which is nice, but the magic cable you need to feed in RGB I can't seem to find anywhere anymore!!?

So It's time to get another method happening Apart from that, it's the only thing holding me back from getting it in the wheels!

well the other option is to hack a $2000 screen (avx 7000 or similar) and find the digital RGB lines and hook up, but even I don't have the cash to try that
