    Xbox and TFT in a car, but what screen to go for?

    Sorry if this is in the wrong section but i'm looking into fitting a screen and Xbox into my car.

    Can anyone help me choose a screen - Budget of £150.

    Also does any one know of any "how to" guides to fit everything in?

    Any help would be great

    Get some sunviser screens.

    By far the best way to hide them too

    Are you wanting a dual sun visor setup or just a single visor?

    *Resist's urge to laugh out loud*

    Well Visor ones are a good idea but if it's just for the passenger then how about in the glovebox or on top of the dash.

    (No offence with the laughing, just the idea of an Xbox in a Micra, you sure the suspension will take it?)

    Typical remarks i've heard before. my suspension is bilstien streetline so no rolley polley boat rides (like normal micras).

    Any screen would do really, just wondering whats out there...

    I was digging more a the weight of the XBrick than the Micra's suspension.

    I guess you'd need around a 7-10" Screen really, depending on where you want to fit it.
