Mounting question

rebal · 11-17-2004, 01:29 PM

Hello new here, have a question about my 7" lilliput. I have a 1997 Jeep GC Laerdo and I would like to mout the LCD using its mount (not in dash or anything). Is it illeagal/a good idea to mount it to the top of the dashboard? Was anyone else able to find a good place to mount this using the included stand. If I velcroed it to the dashboard will it ruin it?

P.S. Already tried a search for this stuff

Thanks!

I've spoken with peace officers in my area (Utah) and informed it's not illegal of any sort to have my carPC and monitor. Having that alone does not warrent being sited. However, if you rear-end someone while messin' around with it, it may comlicate things.

Agree. You may be able to find a headrest shroud to help you with fabrication, I know one is made for the xenarc, could be for lillput too.

I dont want to tear anything apart, so my options are using the stand or a goose neck, i was thinking this:

Where do you live?

Two problems putting it on the dash:

1) Glare would make the screen unreadable.

2) Its in clear view of the cops, and you may get ticketed for it.

-Anyone know if a gooseneck or simular item from the floor would work?

Well I don't know about in New York, but here in TN, you can only have
GPS on the monitor that can be viewed by driver.
So having that monitor up there is asking for tickets...
