Default Where to put LCD screen?

Hi all,

I'm installing a CarPC into my RX, and need to mount a 7" LCD touchscreen. I've thought about putting it on the roof with a metal mount like the stock RSES system, but that's too noticible I think.

Any suggestions on where to mount this screen so that all passengers can get access to it? I'm trying to think of a place where the rear passangers can watch a movie, while you can swivel/move/tilt/etc the screen for passenger/driver usage (while parked of course!).

Persoanlly, I never liked the idea of a central mounted monitor because nobody gets a good view. What I personally would do is mount the touch screen up front so you can controll it, but also output the signal to two hearest monitors so each passanger can get a direct view. I've done something similar on my RX. Another benefit is that each screen can display its own independent source. One passanger can watch a movie, the other can play a video game, and you can have nagivation or the radio or whatever up front. Each headrest monitor has its own speaker and headphone ability as well. Anyway, that is just how I would set it up.
