Bybyte.com will have a LCD + Dash Kit available for Cobalts/G5's this week. It was too late for me, I had bought the dash kit separate. Those wanting to jump on this should do so, it's 240 bucks, thereby saving you quite a chunk of change.

 

what is it? what does it do or read?

 

This would be badass to have but way too complex for me to do alone. Much less for me to afford.

 

Interesting, do you have a link to the actual product?

 

Good find!

If my screen ever craps out, I'll get this and use the factory bezel that I kept for a backup.

This is actually alot less complicated than you might think.

It's a touchscreen LCD display for a carputer.

link anyone?

they e-mailed me today saying it will be on their site within the week, selling @ $240.

This link is if your just wanting to see the monitor: http://bybyte.com/lcd_frame701.htm

Here is a description of the monitor itself:
# Modified Bezel for perfect fit in Metra DoubleDin kits, including our Cobalts Metra 95-3302
# 7” TFT LCD Color Car Monitor with 5 way adjustable LED backlighting
# High Resolution, Wide Viewing Angle, with native 15:9 screen ratio
# Full-function IR remote control
# Patch cable has standard VGA connection for video and USB for touch screen
# Auxiliary RCA Audio and 2x RCA Video Inputs for Rear View Camera and Gaming Systems
# Speaker built-in
# Auto power on option

This is the perfect solution, as they sell this combo with the dash kit for less than they even sell the modified lcd for. For $240 you can't go wrong.

From this point, you'd just have to get the machine in, if you just wanna just toy around you COULD get away way cheap. If you have the computer laying around, I figure you could do the baseline portion of the project(GPS, HD/AM/FM Radio), including the cost of above monitor/dash kit for under $500.

I've been doin a lot of research lately. Hoping it'll pay off. Looking into getting my business license with the state.

My stuff is shipping now. Gosh

Here you go.

Sorry. my bad, I guess that's the wrong one, but it could work, I don't know.

 

We use the Metra 95-3302 dash kit. Looks pretty much like the 3304 but is slightly diff.

Nice!

 

cool. If i dont get a camaro for what ever reason ill get this.

 

We just got a red RS Camaro in today.

Nice looking car.

I took a picture of it with my cell phone, because it might be the last new performance model we get from GM for a while.

 

so if u get this kit what else do u need for it to all be hooked up?

still a little confused

 

Totally oversimplifying this but from there u'd need

A computer, all proper cabling. make sure to use a dc/dc psu for the computer.(inverters cause NOISE)

You'll need @ least a 4ch amp to take the audio outputs from the computer(if you want 4 speakers).

Beyond that you could just use the normal functionality of windows and all the goodies like gps or get a front end and all the goodies for it.

 

So this fits perfectly where the stock radio is?
No modding anything?

Is that a sale price for the kit and how long is the sale for?

 

it's not a special sale, it's a package deal.

and yea it FITS PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll have pics of everything tomorrow.

as for until then, i'm rollin all night lol

 

im assuming i could hook this up to an aftermarket radio right? if applicable. for example a radio with a video out like this one http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/prod...model=iDA-X100

 

no reason to do that. this monitor here is primarily for putting in a full car computer. the monitor replaces the stock decks location completely.

 

i could alwayz fiberglass a new location under the air conditioning controls where the cig. lighter is thats the reason y i was asking
