Retracting head unit modification


Recommended Posts

I have come to the conclusion that I will be using a Boss BVS10.1b as it has a removable screen, which has to be removed for the tray to retract. The tray does not auto extend.

Long time without working on this as other projects and life have gotten in the way. 16k miles on the rig now. I am almost done with the pivot points/mounting for the HU and now my old man convinced me to motorize the retraction with a lead screw. I am looking for a cheap electric motor for it. Does anyone know if electric seat motors are continuous rotation when there is no limit switch?

Interesting, that will not work on this project but I will keep that in my toolbox of tricks.

Having a 10.1" touch screen is so nice I'm not sure how I survived 16k miles with no radio.

Yeah i wasn't sure but i thought i'd post it anyways.

Thats a big screen, Nice! i like having the iphone6+/istreamer combo as a HU cause i can just use "Hey Siri" for alot of stuff. Just don't like the fact alot of apps won't flip into landscape (horizontal) from portrait (vertical)

Will definitely pop in here when i see new posts to see how things work out for you, Good Luck!
