Dvd monitor?

[starsky]

Im after a dvd player for my mk3 gti. Anyone know where the best place is to place a monitor? or am i better saving for a motorised built in DVD and screen?

Any advise would be great, want a screen but dont know what to get!!

as there aren't alot of places to effectivly mount a monitor I'd save your pennies and get a headunit motorised one. You could move your heater controls down into the center console and mount it there if you fancied a challenge though.

all I have done is bought a screen with mounting bracket. I removed the centre console, turned the bracket upside down and Screwed it to the underside of the dash where the heater controls are (if that makes any sense). With the centre console back in  place you can hardly see the bracket, however i cant access the cigarette light and little holder above it but i dont smoke anyway..

I would show you a pic from my phone but havent got a clue how to load them up on this site!!

does the gearknob block the screen when in r/1/3/5?

no dizzie, i did have it there and the gear stick did block it.. Its higher up.
On the centre console there is the ciggy/ashtray bloxk. I remember asking you before and you said drill it out and fibre glass it in their. I was going to do this but instead i took the console out, screwed the bracket the underside of the dash (which is hid by the console) and then put it all back together. Does that make ANY sense. If not ill post a pic to show u if i can.. Looks ok but the screen moves slightly off the vibration from the car when running......

need to double sided tape or something to stick the top of the screen to the dash
