You mean a carputer? www.digitalww.com has an "in-dash" housing for a lilliput VGA LCD screen. It will fit where an aftermarket radio goes. Almost every screen out there is bigger than the stock radio, so some modifications will have to be done if you want to fiberglass a screen in the dash.

The positives to the T/A is that you can remove the bezel and that's all you need to fabricat, unilke the huge panel in the camaro. The negatives are that you'll have to move the HVAC at least a little to get the LCD to fit. But, you should be able to reverse it by moving the controls back, and reinstalling the old bezel.

I think they showed that on one of the car magazine TV shows (maybe Car and Driver) on SpikeTV. Its a cool system (from what I saw on the show). Although a lot of money.

That, and the pop-out LCD's aren't my style. I like the ones that are fixed in place. But that's more preference.
I will say this, its performance meters are kickass.
