where to mount my tv
where to mount my tv
Hey, I just bought a 5 inch tv and was wondering where I could mount it that would look good. Any help would be great. Thanks
Just figure out how to mount it so its stationary in your glove box and make the wires longer, simple as that. A couple pleople have it in that location and it looks good there. Nowhere else really to have it except if you have the old style dash and take out your center vents and custom mold it in there.

FWIW, when i first got my MX, it of course came with the amfmcass. I used one of those cheesie cassettes that have mini input RC cables attached to that cassette that would attach to my postable CD player ... OK OK ... wre talking back in '95 too. Anyway, to co-locate the CD unit to the OEM stereo, (remember than it's a portable CD unit), I mounted the Panasonic CD unit on a flex type (goose neck type) rod that attaches to the passenger seat rail bolt. This mounting unit had a platform with lock down screw attachment for the CD unit and the platform itself was of a fluid floating type, obviuosly to cushion the bumps. I'm sure the monitor could be adapted to that platform easy enough. As I said it's completely flexible to any angle and a bit for height and would not be obtrusive to the passenger. Very cheap. I think I still got mine sitting in a box in the basement. That flexibilty will also allow you to fold it away too. It's old tech, but it might be what you're looking for since it's small and lightweight and doesn't require the monsterous swing out type monitor holder. THat flex neck was also a panasonic item.
