Ok...
advantages of using the eclipse...
1. if i decide to add on different monitors at a later date for the back seat for example, i have three zone control for the eclipse
2. itll be cheaper because i already have it
3. i dont have to give up the radio
Now the disadvantages
1. Picture quality isnt so hot...
2. How am i supposed to interface with the computer? a mouse while im driving.. i dont think so...
3. i wont have to cut up the dash to put in a vga touchscreen
anyways.. can anyone here please help a newbie...
what ui was thinking i can do is... if i do decide to get rid of the eclipse... a friend can get me a refurb. 10.4" lcd for cheap... and i can cut up the dash and put it there.. but then where would i put the computer and the radio.. ill have to relocate the a/c controls also (whichi s not a problem, because i can control it thru the steering wheel anyways)
or would 10.4" be a little too big.. if im goign to do it, i want to do it right the first time... that way i dont have to do anything else...
again, please help
btw, what would be my best bet for gps navigation, i was reading that copilot would probably be my best bet, i will have internet access provided by my motorola v60i cellphone and the data kit.. so that shouldnt be a problem...
