I own a computer repair company and I am in the process of building a mini itx computer to go into my 2010 ford transit connect. The only issue have ran into so far is determining the screen size. I want the largest screen possible that can fit into the factory double din area, however all double din kits for the transit are for 7" screens. I have found 7" touch screen monitors but that is smaller then I prefer. The hole in the dash is wider then taller so I'm thinking I may just have to modify the dash, worst case scenario.
My questions is, what is the largest screen I can put into the factory hole in the dash?
I want the screen to be completely maxed out to the edges of the dash, I do not want a dash kit that has 2" of plastic on the sides.
This image gives you an idea, I understand this is not a real transit, this merely to show there is no plastic around the outer edges of the screen.
