Not really because i have limo tint.. Little, but does not really annoy me.
I was going to get this http://www.mp3car.com/store/product_...9f697b47ec7171

but its on lilliput screen's and i hate them with passion.

If you recess the bottom of the screen inwards so it's pretty much perpendicular to the ground the glare is greatly reduced, no? I test fitted mine with a flush install like kickercivic and I had glare galore, but when I recessed it in a bit the glare was more than tolerable. I still have glare, but even through it I can see track titles, street names on the GPS, or bewbies on the downloaded pr0n no problem.

before anyone writes a DIY, I think someone should try using this product with a doubledin dash kit.

Im really curious if it will fit.

^^ it doesnt work .. the double din,,, i tried that, too much glare coz of the position of the screen. mine is now recessed about one half inch. not much glare anymore, furthermore i bought a new touchscreen from www.digitalww.com, that reduce a lot of glare.
after i have enuf money for turbo, i'm thinking of directly tuning from the carputer,,, still a long way to go~

Rep Power: 0

Rep Power: 0

Start up time is like 25-30sec ,but i have remote start for my car, so i just turn on my car, like 30sec ahead... this is my 5th computer setup in the car, and this setup i got is been the most reliable.

i understand its custom, but the basic idea on how to wire everything is still the same, can you do something like that?

where did you get the plastic part to put in front of the screen? it's a biatch to fiberglass the screen to the dash....
