Preview of my in Dash LCD install
This is a picture of the LCD installed in my 2001 Nissan Pathinder. I will have a site up soon with details about the system. It is based on the Macintosh platform. Hope my subdomain at mp3car.com works out soon - not getting any responses.

Was the dash formed that way or did you have a custom piece made.
Looks Really Good.

Thanks for compliments! The LCD is a 6.4" VGA LCD. It is where the double DIN Bose head unit used to be. I had someone make me a fiberglass mold so that it would fit better and look like it belonged. There are two main methods of control, being the steering wheel audio controls (they run scripts to control SoundJam), and touchscreen on the LCD. I also had a USB line run to the center console to allow keyboard, mouse, and other things to be connected easily. I expect to have the web site ready for viewing on 2/1/01.

Another picture of the backside. Layered from the bottom are the LCD controller, touchscreen controller, and touchscreen dc to dc power supply on top.

It came out to $275 to have the fiberglass mold made with a black satin finish. That price also included the mounting of all controller boards on the back and the mounting of the LCD itself. I got the LCD from G-NET Canada for $1000 (Ok- dont flame me, at the time I couldn't find a better deal). These LCDs can be found much cheaper. The entire package cost around $1600, touchscreen stuff included.
