Hi all

After seeing some recent installs, I quite fancy a DVD player in the car. I don't want lots of boxes and wires.

This solution seems simple enough

Should it slot straight in? Anything else that is needed? Advice welcome.

:cool:

Not sure I'd spend that sorta Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£ on something from an unknown brand but you might be lucky... & it should go straight in yup. You wanna check the screen won't hit anything when it comes out though!

Should slot right in but i think the screen might hit the indicator stalk when it moves out, as ziggy said.

It does sound like a bargain tho, as the MSRP is Ԛ£1,499.00 :mad:

If you don't fancy that anymore you could go for visors with screens in them and get a dvd head unit. Thats what i'd do if i didn't have a cabriolet!

as above will go stright in but it will hit the stalk and to avoid damage when the screen comes out u would need to indicate right and hold high beam on. and for that sort of money u could have a top of the range alpine/kenwood/clarion unit

Thanks chaps for the advice.

But where on earth can I get a branded unit like an Alpine for the same sort of cash? Having a look around they are well above Ԛ£800.

Email links welcomed!

Personaly i would only buy brand names, either second hand, ex-display or old/out of date stock.
