Tesla styled screen setup

#2 tint the windows and the brightness wont be a problem. Also you dont want it that bright at night... Actually you will want it as dim as possible so it doesnt screw with your night vision...

As far as the night is concerned I intend on using the cars light sensor or finding another aftermarket for that. The tint will play a large role in the daytime visibility for sure either way, but with direct sunlight through the windshield it may still cause a few problems.

#2 here haha!!

They trick you with #2 into thinking you have more real estate. If you look closely you have the white border and also another black inset border before you get to the active area.

Here are the dimensions from their website for screen #2 and #3.

Seems to me that number 1 is the right one to test with. We are sure of the problems in 2 and 3, but 1 is a maybe problem of false inputs.

I know it would suck to invest the money and have it not work but that's part of r&d. Maybe you could do a small kickstarter-type thing where we sponsor the final step by sending you $10-20 with the idea of getting a small discount when we buy the final product. Just throwing it out there

I have definitely considered some kickstarter like campaign. I want to make sure that I have a product to show before it gets to that point for sure though... I'm going to pull the dash out this weekend to get accurate dimensions on the width between the vents and overall height I have to play with now that I have a model.

I've started picking up components to test for the build. I found an hd/am/fm tuner for really cheap. Hopefully I can get it to work with my system. And my girlfriend bought me a monitor to try for my birthday, which should be here by Wednesday!

I think this is going to be great! When are you actually mounting the whole thing?

Hey thanks guys! I am traveling back to my home state Arkansas for a death in my family so I will be out for about a week or so... Once I get back I will be sketching up the changes to the dash to fit that big boy. I am working with a sales rep with 3D Systems on a price for a print now.

See if you can find a local shop that will print it for you, there are usually many places that do it.

That bezel on the screen looks huge! What are your plans, direct mount or are you taking it apart?
