[aleksandar]

Its just a test fit. Still thinking if its too big or not lol.







Audio comes from 3,5inch jack aux in radio. Have no bluetooth radio atm.

too big

[yiug412]

May be I'm too short but would that block most of your view? Again its just me being short lol

[Treboeth]

Too big IMO.
Curious as to the police viewpoint on these installed in the top console?
Line of sight and all that.

Ridiculous - sorry, you did ask

[pauls0212]

I disagree, i think we need a picture from further back so we can see how much is being blocked, doesnt look too much higher than the binacle. Have thought about a ten inch screen there myself, about the same as having the front lid up.

Ill take a pic from further back. Im 1,75m in lenght. tall - short, you decide lol...

I dont like 7 inch screens as its too small in my opinion....

I know the car isnt that roomy but still.... a big screen would be nice hehe

[aleksandar]

Ill try the iPad mini format. maybe it will be perfect

[aleksandar]

Ridiculous - sorry, you did ask

I used to put my iPad mini in the spot, perfect size just to wedge in with the addition of a plastic runner at the bottom



I did find this a bit intrusive to the line of sight(and Im 6ft) so have now moved on to mounts for the phone and iPad which take it lower.



The mounting bracket has changed a bit since that photo but you get the idea. Don't bother with the phone mount now as changed the head unit and its got bluetooth but still mount the iPad and use with OS maps when out exploring for decent roads.
The whole lot come off by undoing a couple of wing nuts under the cover

Have thought about a ten inch screen there myself, about the same as having the front lid up.

Surely the lid was never intended to be fully propped up during driving, so it doesn't really support having a big screen there. Just a thought.

no but thats how I get my chips home when there are two of us in the car and it doesnt bother me with restricted view.

Whilst I think it's too big it's only what the user thinks that matters! iPad mini would be the biggest I would use in that position. Jmho!

Will come down to how anal the cop that stops you is on that given day  s:) s:)

It it's inside the swept area of the driver side wiper within 280mm either way of the centre line of the steering wheel you could end up getting a ticket, In an accident it could change the fault bias if it is believed it caused obstruction (I just asked a 22 year served traffic cop buddy)

Then I tried this

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4"



My 7" one I had before used to sit on top in front of the cubby hole and had too remove it every time it had an MOT as it's a fail for view obstruction.
