Something like this http://www.matrixorbital.com/product...character-vfds should do it, but check the thickness to see if its okay.

If you want to/have to go with usb then I'd go with this one http://www.matrixorbital.com/product...character-vfds its just a little bit bigger. What are you going to be displaying in it? And are you sure that you are comfortable with the software available for it, different screens use different software it seems. I'm really not sure how good the other screens or software is becasue I've always been ultra happy with my matrix orbital and lcdc solution

I was just thinking, and I could even put this screen as a flip up screen on the dashboard and use it for gps only... my god talking about my vfd I could even prob. make something up so that it would flip up only when I had my gps software running or at the very least have it go up via the computer.

It's not crazy just factory
actually it's the exact same mirror as the monte's i'm using the one out of my 97 monte (RIP)
Does this one come with the cable to hook it up?
I'm also looking at this one since it seems to be less but have everything, right?

I've been messing with the software that you're using and i really like it.



I thought about the flip up idea for GPS but it would need a hood otherwise you will get a really bad glare, right?
