Video Pardon a daft screen question

FunkyGibbon · 28th September 2007, 14:25

I'm off to pick up my Type S GT tomorrow and I'm planning my first mod...

But I can't remember 1 daft detail...

I've not gone for the (overpriced) SatNav option and I can't remember what is in the place of the screen... i.e. is it a blanking plate or just a diffrent moulding shape?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

FG.

same size and shape screen I think, but is used to display radio / CD info

FunkyGibbon · 28th September 2007, 14:52

Is there a commonly accepted best choice for replacing the screen with somethng to display video? i.e sony lcd etc?

Wrong...

The upper dash is differently shaped and gets a larger version of the black/white led screen. It displays Radio/climate and clock info.

These pics are from a LHD and a RHD car respectively, but you get the idea!

I like the fact that there's a tom tom mount stuck on the perspex

Sorry to be dumb, but if I bought a Civic sat nav and LCD kit, will it fit directly to my 1.8SE?

Thanks

No,

You need to change the dash. (they are different).

Everything is possible - but you would need a shed load of bits, and an awful lot of time and effort

It's certainly a lot more involved than simply buying the screen and the DVD player...

Thanks for your replies. Looks like i'm better of with a TomTom

Replied to your email, I don't think the time/effort and cost would be worth it really

It may even be cheaper to sell the car and buy an EX instead given the ammount of stuff you need to buy.

That would be an extreme move to get SATNAV!
