Thread: 2005 Scion xB - 15" touchscreen project

While others dont like it, and honestly neither do I, I can't help but notice if you wanted a large screen it looks like a nice clean and well done install. Which is what really counts, if you are happy with it that is.

I do like how you can multi task on it (GPS and your menu etc.). I have been toying with removing my AC/etc. controls and replacing them and then fitting vertically like a 10" screen or such in the space, not sure I want to go that extreme though. I would also have to cut apart the dash then since there is a border between double-din and AC controls. Or it could work nicely as a border between say MP3 player and GPS? lol

But again, nice install.

wow - that's a huge *****!

hehehe

Damn that's big..must look nice at night.. :tup:

Hmmm, very clean install. I think it's a little too big, but if ur happy with it.

I'd be concerned with it lighting up the car and the cars to the side and back at night. Just seems to be begging to be stolen. I don't know. You would probably get away with it easier with cops, if it were mounted in front of the passenger seat, in that big *** empty storage area

Hook it up with some more pictures - PM if you would like it added to Mobile-Effects. I don't like the install, but the more I think about it, it's probably because I'm jealous. Lol....nice job!

It's hard to fit in on a forum with an 15" LCD on my dash when everyone is painstakingly going for an OEM/Factory look install.

It's hard to imagine getting to the HVAC controls behind the screen... but it's really not hard at all. I've strongly considered going into getting the controls controlled by the PC... but it doesn't bother me as much as it does to everyone who just sees my pictures and grimaces.

About the screens brightness... it's really not bad at night (beautiful.. YES!). I lowered the gamma another 10% and it's pretty much perfect. It's nowhere blinding... but easily viewable by all the passengers inside (and those few on the outside).

Thanks for the comments guys though!

Funny looking.... car... SUV..... thing, funny looking LCD.... Are you funny looking as well?

You dont need to take this defensive position man... nobody on here has the power to go in and undo your install, but everyone here is entitled to an opinion.

You put your pictures on the forum to hear people's opinions. If you only want to hear praise then go elsewhere, here you will hear opinions, be them positive or negative.

You want my opinion? here you get it: I think that car looks daft, dunno if it is a bus, car, suv or what. I think it is ricer in 99% of its ocurrences, and I dont like it. Your install is not what I am looking for, as I think it doesnt blend in with the car in any form... Now dont attack me because I dont like your car.... your attitude on that post made me tell you what I really think, although I usually keep this kind of comment under the mattress, I'll liberate it this time since you obviously want to hear only Praise, and life is not like that!

I don't see where he took a defensive postion. ::Shrugs:: He never really said anything about taking offense, did a post get edited or something?

but it doesn't bother me as much as it does to everyone who just sees my pictures and grimaces.

nobody is gramcing... just giving PERSONAL opinions thats it....
