double din frame for the eby701 - Page 3

JayKaye · 06-02-2008, 07:36 PM

I went for the plunge and bought one just now. $66USD inc. shipping ($70AUD for me).
Will post up installation pics and thoughts.

Nice pics. Once they come out wih a solution without using double sided tape, then I will use them. I don't believe in breaking the TS in order to remove the screen from the bezel. This is mainly important if using a tranflective screen

Is that a shot at my cracked screen?

My cell phone was sitting on a shirt on top of my printer above my desk and it slid off and landed oh-so perfectly on my screen and cracked it. Oh well.

If you have a WRX then you can buy a double din kit for it at the mp3car store -- specifically for the rex. I'm not sure on the double-sided tape issue though.

Yeah, I know the DD for the WRX, but that thing i a little on the expensive side.

What screws/bolts did everyone use to mount the circuit board? the original screws used to mount it in the stock case are too small to fit into the holes in the 3 tabs behind the screen.

Do i need to add anything to insulate between the circuit board and the tabs?

Also how are you supposed to mount the ir sensor in line with the lense in the panel? the screen looks like it will cover that lens plus it doesn't look like theres enough room to even mount the sensor circuit board beside the screen...???

Just a word of warning to anyone using this frame. It is VERY flimsy. If you're not careful you will bend the frame, which will cause your touch screen to malfunction. The other issue is that the frame isn't a true double-din size, it's close but you will need a trim ring. The mounting holes are an issue as well, as they don't match double din standard either.

you do know that it does require a DD mounting kit to fit a DD hole right?

Machinehead · 06-03-2008, 10:58 AM

Very aware, which in the case of my specific vehicle, this frame is not a good option.

what is your vehicle?

Replacement Touchscreen installed, and LCD mounted to ByByte Frame:

Now to find out how to mount the buttons so the IR receiver still works within reason. The pre-made hole for the IR is covered by the screen so I need to figure out if it will still work somehow. Need a new button battery though for the 'mote though.

I wonder if I'm going to need a double-din kit in my car to fill up any gap there might be between my bezel and the LCD frame?

Most likely yes.

@RyanB95

Are those screws actually connected to the LCD from the board? Or are they acting as standoffs?

What I am getting at is: How exactly did you connect the LCD and board. Yours monitor is different than mine, I am just curious.

There are 3 tabs with screw holes in them and 3 silver screws in the baggy that came with the frame. My board lined up almost perfectly with the 3 holes in the tabs, and the board is screwed directly into the tabs.

The LCD is held on purely by the double-sided foam tape. There are tabs on the side with foam tape on them also. I bent those down over the LCD to give it extra support.

If I didn't answer your question enough then I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Perhaps more pictures would help?

Crap.

You answered my question. Thanks.

My LCD and board are different and the holes didn't line up. But I managed to get it in there OK...
