when fabricating your carputer screen it helps to have Duramax 4040 and the $90 dual action dispenser Which i got for free due to an accident(they shipped it on accident) i was so excited...this was back in June

I have a query.

Which screens will fit in the Scion tC's doubledin while retaining the use of the privacy cover without modification to the screen and/or cover?

and to answer your questio this one,this guy actually made a bezal though which i would recomend,the bezals arent that hard to fabricate and they are removeable.

I would recommend iGuidance v2.1.3-v3 over Destinator. Personal preference I guess.

Anyways to answer your question you could try this. Looks pretty impressive from the scrren shots and it's free.

I'm not sure about current production but I do know some of the earlier motorized touchscreen units had some serious issues. Touchscreen failures, motors failing, gears, etc. I ended up grabbing myself a Xenarc 700IDT and have no complaints.

For LCDs I'd check out the following companies as well as eBay.

If you need a motherboard or power supply feel free to PM. I can get deals on Jetway Mini-ITX motherboards and iTuner ( M1-ATX, M2-ATX, VoomPC case) products .

Here's some pics of my setup. It was my first time ever with fabrication so go easy on me please.
