Screens - Flip Out Versus Flush Mount
Who prefers which? Would you rather have a flip out screen in your car, or a screen that's just mounted right in the dash? Advantages? Disadvantages?

Flush mount, I got a flip screen and the motor in it broke, less moving parts=better in ANY situation... (Pioneer AVIC-N2)

I've had both first I had a pioneer in dash flip screen, it was nice but a lot of people were telling me how they could mess up and not flip out anymore. The advantage of a flip screen is that you usually can take off the front piece and its better as far as safety reasons. Now I have a eclipse mounted in dash. I love it to death thank God for navi too! Down fall however is that it's there and very visable to the eye.

I have a 5 year over the counter exchange warranty on my flip out so I'm not worried about the motor. So what's wrong with it being visible to the eye as far as flush mounts go? This is the stuff I was talking about.

Well people that "want it"........but my eclipse has a 2 year theft warranty so I'm really not worried. I just hate dealing with stuff like that.
