Installing an External Carplay Screen (not using OEM screen) DIY Project

[Tito71]

I like all the ideas. I have found this dash mount for the Mav. This is one of the best I have come across so far. I have not looked, but there may be an option for a tablet too.

You would still have to install another camera right?

or maybe tap in the one I use on the visor dash cam don’t known yet.

Tapping the Ford OEM one in the back, not an option don’t want to mess with that.

Yes I have the tray that fits on the dash behind the screen and hard to stop the rattle with the 3m tape. Had to add an additional brace.

What is the brand and size of the extra screen?

Per the reddit thread:

Day dreaming what this idea could become....

I think it'd be cool to find a "projector" type Carplay thing and put it in the blank spot in front of the cubby- let it reflect from the windshield...

Great idea! I appreciate the ability to have stereo controls and keep maps running.

I am pleasantly surprised that everyone has heeded to your request.
Maybe we all should do this more often and include a note to the "void the warranty" people.

Many posters only post negative comments. Usually those who don't and/or can't do mods.

I like what you have done.
