Indigo Center Console Touchscreen LCD Fabrication

Sheldon, please email these pictures to the Tata design factory saying that you got a car with this and you are not able to source this part from anywhere and they will run their life out to find out who made it! GREAT JOB MAN I cannot believe this is after market. BRILLIANT!!

Woooow, its looks so OEM. Can you please post the prices of the screen and what features does it have.

BUSA · 5th July 2007, 13:09

Just checked the link on the first post, the Screen costs 12k and the features are listed on the site.

Do let us know the progress on the car PC.

ya I also waiting for the same..

Me in the queue too, me hearties!

Wow, @shldn, this can fool even the designers as an OEM item. You're a magician.

Now, if I can lay my hands on a good deco veneer! I wanted to take a different approach for Safari - replace that God-forsaken plastic monstrosity they call the center console. Acres of space lost by a simple-minded designer.

To reclaim that space, I would need to reposition everything there - I'd rather put the AC controls at the bottom (what were the designers thinking - that we fiddle with the AC controls every 5 minutes?), then the switches above it, then the HU / LCD unit. Who knows, I may be able to put in a 2-DIN HU then, maybe even a pocket for CD covers.

Maybe someone can clarify a doubt if you have noticed it after removing the console facia: is the AC air-direction adjuster coupled to the dampers by a rod or by cables? Can that be shifted at all?

@Steeroid also wants the center-console redo in his Safari, from what he wrote last.

Great job.

I am picking nits here but maybe you should have angled it upwards a bit.

How is the visibility for the driver/front passenger ?

cheers.

Why are all Safari people behind reclaiming their life and other things

Where have you placed the USB from the screen?
