quote: Only way around this is to buy a DVD reciever head unit :) Pioneer do a few models, that basically look like their middle of the range single DIN slot HU, except they have a video output and play DVDs :thumbs: However, your looking at about 500+ for one of those :( You could also think about getting a DVD changer and controlling it from your current HU - IE: if you have a pioneer/alpine then they do units that connect to the "Bus" ports on the HU and it acts like one unit :) Would be alittle cheaper if you already have a HU that supports something like this. Otherwise its going to be pricey what ever you do mate :( | |

Ok, thought of something else, i have an in car dvd player which plays mp3 dvd vcd etc, i will be connecting this up to the screen, if i connected the phono cables to my amps, the sound would come thru the speakers, so i could play my cds throught the seperate dvd player and eliminate my head unit all together. But how would i change the volume? As the dvd player itself wont control the volume? Is this right? | |

quote: aye, go for it mate :) Keep a list of measurements and moulds (and create a tutorial if you want :)) etc as im sure a few people would be interested in something like this - as long as it blends in alright etc :) Also search for a post in General section, as someone is designing consoles to house screens and i believe they were designing an ashtray din slot holder :) | |

yes i thought about swapping the head unit around. But where the ashtray is is sort of facing upwards if u get me, so the screen wouldnt be at eye level, but would be facing upwards so still easy to see? | |

tbh mate, i would think about either modding your heater vents and turning that into a DIN slot - which a few people off here have done. Or doing some like Claire Richardson (look in her garage) has done and taken the MDF out and built a DIN slot housing to replace it - it looks bloody neat. | |
