In-Car DVD Player

[D4R73N]

Im looking into in-car DVD players, I don't want sat nav and all that fancy crap, just a DVD player and MP3... I've looked at the one pictured below, but does anyone know where i can get one for a good price and anything i should know before I buy anything?

What is your budget?

 

[D4R73N]

Dont want to spend much more then £500

PS. does anyone know any that come downwards rather then upwards?

u will have to do modification to the dashboards DIN slot because these will not fit normally.

 

[D4R73N]

Is that because of the depth?

 

[mean micra]

iirc the dash din tilts backwards so the screen cannot erect itself...tis the case with both facelift and pre-facelift... methinks...

maybe a dash mod like davey c's gauge pod's, but for a din slot...

I don't understand exactly, Any pictures to help explain?

Get a setup like Kev. Detachable pioneer screen, and disks can be played from a DVD player. The sound can be connected into the aux socket on a decent head unit!

I'd have done this in my car if DVD changers didnt cost around a grand!

Basically the micra stereos faced upward slighty meaning when a flip up screens comes out it won't position correctly

Yeah, but if you got a DVD player where the screen came downwards rather then upwards, that would fit correct?

 

[goldstar0011]

that should fit, don't see many around though

i personally havent seen one that flips out downwards :doh:

what about one of those that doesnt flip out but include a 3.5 inch screen on the headunit?! its a bit small but its cheap and workable solution.

 

[D4R73N]

I looked at the 3.5" screens, but I dont see if its worth £200, IMO if your gonna go for a tv in your car, at least go for the 7"...

UNLESS, there is one with a removable face?

 

[runaway-robot]

they r the double din ones

i would just have seperate, dvd player and screen so much eaiser, and cheaper


** add **

Just thought, that if u had a computer ur in car .. screen that flips out normal way
If u put it in upside down, then on the computer flip the image... may look alil weird, but would work

 

[D4R73N]

Ok these 3.5 inch screen ones, worth it?

 

[tse_adam]

well what can we say, the smaller the screen the cheaper it is. it will defo be a lot under your budget. it really falls down to whether you can get used to the little screen, go see a demo b4 u make a decision.

mine has a din slot below as this was the original purpose, a second headunit but a motorised DVD screen with turbo guages above, however the heater matrix gets in the way and it woulnt fit in there...so...was born the handy dash pocket lol
