yes thats what i was thinking, but thought might be able to make a custom pod to replace the cig lighter tray? would be a lot of work though, ill just have to put up with the stand alone screen for now.

No problem bud :)

It can be done, but it saves a shit load of hassle just having an all in one. You could make a custom pod where the MFD goes, but its quite a bit of work.

an all in one unit ull be looking at about £800 onwards :(

if you used it to replace the headunit, what would power your speakers? The standalone dvd will have no built in amp.

Do you have a corsa B or C? In a C, this is piss easy to do.

ahh rite i see, so this unit cant really replace my head unit even if i used the stand alone DVD to play CD's?

Whats the cheapest flip out screen that can replace a head unit?

Thanks for the link too mate, very useful!

nah mate those units are designed to be run alongside a headunit. Only way around it would be to use seperate amplifiers ect but it would also mean quite a bit of rewiring.

Just to let you know, you can buy these brand new from the UK for £170 with a full 1 year warranty from here :

Ok im looking to get a motorised screen but dont want to spend loads. I have seen loads of screens like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32826&item=5727357377&rd=1#ebayphotohosting

on ebay but i know they have no CD slot. Basically, my question is, if i were to replace my head unit with this screen how would i listen to music? I have a stand alone in car DVD that plays everything, dvd mp3 cd etc. Could i wire the dvd player into the screen and then listen to Cd's using the stand alone DVD player? Also would the sound come through my system?

Thanks:thumbs:
