Many pivoting arm supports for screens use this mounting system.
When you purchase a screen, you should check what mounting hardware it comes with to ensure
that you get what you need for your configuration.
If your vehicle doesn't have room in the console or radio area to install the screen, you can use the
mounting hardware that comes with the screen, shown in Figure 3-3, to mount it on top of the
dashboard. The VGA touchscreens from Xenarc, Lilliput, and Pixellon all come with mounting posts.
These posts have flexible metal bases with double-stick tape. Although not the prettiest installation,
this tape will stick firmly to most dashboards and will hold the screen in place. While some of these
mounting posts have screw holes as well, if you ever decide to remove the monitor you'll find it a lot
easier to remove some sticky tape from the dashboard than to fill in and patch any holes you've
drilled.
