Figure something color with +380 lines of resolution and a 2.8-3.6 mm wide angle lens. I'll pick it out of supercircuits.com when the time comes. I've got five or six of their cameras around the house to play with which lens would look best that low. I don't like having to wear the front plate and I'm forever pulling it on and putting it back ... the camera will slow me down a bit and help keep me legal.

Do you have the '03 cubby or are they trying to get it into the '04.5-'05 one that uses a different door?

All of your questions regarding how to remove the cubby, how to install the screen, how to connect cables are answered elsewhere on this forum already. The only reason I'm chiming in is because I've spent the last few days researching the same questions.

Paul,
I think you're my new hero ...
When I get the courage to try to take apart my center console I'll be referring back to some of these threads. Right now, I can't even get my V1 hardwired -- and that is supposed to be easy.

I just got done with installing this lcd into '03 cubby on my '04 enthusiast. All in all it was pretty dang easy.
My question is this.. it seems the cubby is a slightly different color than the stock cubby and doesnt quite match the rest of the console. Is this the same experience others have? Any way to remedy it?
Also is there a way to make the lcd turn on automatically when the car is started? I wired it to switched power on my head unit. Would wiring it to constant power make it turn on automatically?

Alright I've got an 04 touring roadster. Is the 03 lid from performance nissan going to be a different color like spinez was saying or does it match up? Also I noticed that this thread was a little old, can you still get the farenheit screen at the website posted? I can't seem to find it. Any help is appreciated.

The color is a bit off but it looks fine - nobody has really noticed it or said a thing if they did. Looks like it was designed that way even.

Anyone have any pictures of the 03 lid in an 04? I'd like to see what you guys are talking about. Also, dark muppet how much you want for the monitor and are they in perfect condition?
