    Need some ideas?

    Opinions would be much apreciated.

    Thanks

    Check out this thread... Next Xenarc Morex loves E46
    Lots of people have done LCD install's in similar BMW cars. Try searching for e46 or e39 or whatever "e" number yours is. I know that mp3car store has BMW bezel similar to the one I linked you too... Hope this helps...

    Hello,
    Another tact, one which I am pursuing for now and other forum members have also mentionned,
    edit ~ LCD gooseneck mount
    is to use a GPS or PDA-style mount, which means no (or very little) dash modification is required.
    Of course most assume this would make it easier to steal, which I suspect is true, but i am of the opinion that if someone wants your stuff badly enough, they will find a way.
    As an example, I am about to purchase a PDA mount with a 6-inch long flexneck which I plan to attach to a blank DIN faceplate in my dash. I am likely to purchase said parts from www.gpscity.ca

    This link http://www.gpscity.ca/ram-vehicle-no-drill-parts.htm brings you to the RAM-mount section of no-drill parts, and another member recently posted a picture of his monitor using something like this

    What I really like is that you can mount the screen anywhere you like, including "floating" in free space. I also like the fact that the passanger can move the screen for them to use/see, and that I do not have to commit to one location.
