Initial LCD install

[Jon K]

yeah so i decided to make my car stand out more than other E34s. Instead of 2 LCDs up front, one in the headunit and one on the dash... i am molding the dash one (touchscreen) into the headunit area. yeah, its going to suck. yeah, i have a headache thinking about it. yeah, i am going to stick to it and get it done.





Pre-sanding... didn't sand anything yet. whatcha think so far.

That seems to be the question of the century. I have plans that make sense in my head... i will prob post pics tomorrow, until then i am going to go throw up at the thought of how much work it is.

haha, don't give up on such a cool idea. i was excited when you mentioned this not so long ago in another post, i can't wait to see the pics. are you sticking the HVAC stuff behind the shifter? or up higher? will the OBC stay in the same spot? What all does your car computer do?
where will your current head unit and its LCD screen go?

feel free to just ignore all those questions but like one. i'm just really interested.

Ah. I see you've thought your cunning plan all the way through.

Ah; good luck with that.

So many questions! Haha I don't mind your curiousity! I want to leave it somewhat of a surprise more or less, for you, and myself. No I am making it more of mystery than it is, but it's going to be very difficult. OBC remains, HVAC remains... sort of... car computer controls MP3, GPS, DVD, wifi internet, cellular internet... you know
