Just wondering if the Farenheit T-7000MHR 7.0" TFT/LCD Monitor will fit flush on the 06 cubby or should i be better of buying an 03 cubby?thanks i did a search also.

 

yes it does,check out the power acoustiks model also its a lil cheaper...theres a diy install

 

Yes, it will fit.

It isn’t a simple drop-in for a 2006 Z; you will need to do a slight amount of custom fabrication to fit the monitor and hold it in place.

You need to cut out the rear pocket of the 2006 cubby, and then mount the monitor flush to the cubby’s bezel/border. You will also need to fabricate a mounting structure on the rear of the cubby (sans its pocket that you cut away).

Note: This is an irreversible procedure. So if you are not comfortable with custom fabrication, take your project to a Professional Installer. If you use a PI, figure at least 3 to 4 hours to remove the center console, cut the cubby’s rear pocket, install/brace the screen, run and connect the wiring, and put it all back together.

Since you probably will mount your DVD player and/or navigation device in one or more of the rear cubby-spaces, figure on disassembling the center-tunnel and the rear console (behind the driver/passenger seat). That adds at least another 2 or 3 hours to the project.

So... It’s an entire day project even for a knowledgeable PI. If the PI charges something like $50 per hour, you can easily estimate the labor cost.

If you decide to do the project yourself, first do a thorough search and carefully read the DIY’s on my350z.com. Once you have the information you need, dedicate an entire weekend. Start your work as early as you can on Friday, and plan to finish sometime late Sunday.

Additional Notes:

• The Farenheit T-7000MHR is also sold as the Power Acoustik PT-700 MHR, and the NESA Vision NSM-7005. They are all the same monitor, just different brand names.
  
  
• These are NTSC/PAL monitors so they display DVD’s and remote navigation black-box images (i.e., Garmin, Kenwood, Alpine, etc.) well, but these monitors do not support RGB and are thus not intended for a CarPC.
  
  
• The Farenheit T-7000MHR (same as Power Acoustik PT-700 MHR, and the NESA Vision NSM-7005) provide a very good image, but they are not nearly as bright as the headrest monitors supplied by Kenwood and Alpine.

Hope this information is helpful,

no pockets or anything so i just need something to hold the monitor correct?

 

Yes. But you will need a frame and custom brackets. I don't see the cubby in the pics you post.

You have the fascia piece. You don’t have the cubby.

Thanks spike where can i get the frame if i leave it without the cubby?

 

^^ You have the cubby in your car now. Right?

Forgive me, but I'm confused on what you have now.

--Spike

 

i currently have an 04 roadster stock.planing on buying that piece above just like that.Thought i could just plug in the monitor in there but im guessing i need more pieces.

 

Hello!! You have an '04 Z!? Why did you mention an '06?

Just buy the '03 cubby and install this in your '04 Z... that way your monitor is a simple drop in.

Forgive me if I'm missing something here (I'm old and sometimes miss important points).

mentioned the 06 because i was debating whether to buy that or the 03.I guess 03 it is thanks for your help.

 

Ok… I get twenty lashes with a wet noodle.

I once again break my own rule which is: Never assume anything.

You have a 2004 Z, so you are in luck installing a Farenheit T-7000MHR 7.0" TFT/LCD Monitor. All you need to do is get a 2003 upper/forward cubby. Once you have this, installing the monitor is very simple since it’s a drop-in. You don’t need any custom fabrication since the monitor goes in using the existing screws once you remove the rear pocket from the 2003 upper/forward cubby.

Here is a thread describing the installation (that made Paul350Z famous):

I missed you initial question, and I apologize for this. I hope I didn't waste your time or anyone following this thread.

--Spike

 

Its all good no need to apologize thanks for all the information really appreciate it

 

^^ Thanks for kind words.

When you get the monitor installed, I (and I'm sure other members) would be interested in reading your experience accomplishing this and seeing some pictures.

If you have the time to do this, please post a followup. I mostly learn these days from other's experiences. Thanks for posting and starting your thread.
