hey i just got my in dash dvd player with 7'' fold out screen, and im wondering...how complicating is this gonna be?????

allen's the only one i have seen on tn with the in dash dvd player, but im really sure there are many more of y'all out there, so help me out

i see all kinds of wires and different things in the instruction booklet, and im also wondering if my car already has all the neccesary wires for this thing to plug into, and all of that? will it kinda just go in as easy as a cd player? or do i got some work ahead of me?

thanks guys

Actually it isn't that hard to do...pretty basic..the only catch if you have to make sure that when folded out it won't hit anything. Just let me know what model and make the DVD player is, and I can help you from there. Also...on a side note make sure that the brake lead for it is run to a switched lead, that is when the car is on, so is the power, so you don't have to leave it in park. Besides 1 LCD isn't bad...try 3, I am probably going to be at 4 when I am all done

Yeah, I just did a wireless job for the slimline PS2...no more controller cables, but I have to remout the unit. 3rd TV is in the trunk.....I figured the hooker had to watch something. Next big AV job is new HU....Sirrius and JVC...like PB and J

thanks for all the replies guys!

altho i think i might have to copy allens idea of letting someone else do all the work

cause last night i opened up the boxes to admire my new toy, and i saw all those wires and then read thru the manual real quick and i felt like i was back in math class again

so yea im takin this thing to a local shop and let them deal with it....so hopefully it won't cost too much...thanks again for the comments

but i may not be able to.

If the DVD player you have is a Din sized unit, then you could mount it under the screen.

felkajamine · 02-09-2005, 02:46 PM

^ yep that's what im gonna do.....GOSH I CANT WAIT...

i also got a new "something" on the way from bluemeanie

, "it" should be here soon.

***cam2Xrunner*** · 02-09-2005, 02:50 PM

So what kind of dvd player and screen did you get?

felkajamine · 02-09-2005, 02:56 PM

the brand is Pyle

pic (the exact one that i got)

***Durrby*** · 02-09-2005, 03:24 PM

I'm not gonna flame you since you'll actually have a dvd player in your dash and I just have a portable dvd player with the sound running through my car stereo, but I have heard NOTHING good about the brand Pyle. I've heard there subs blow very quickly, speaker quality is ass and the brand as a whole is like the Daewoo's or Kia of car audio.

battlekat49 · 02-09-2005, 03:39 PM

you got yourself a PYLE of $#!+ there buddy. that brand is useless. you'll probably spend more having it installed than what it's actually worth to anyone. i hope you saved your receipt.
as for installation, it's not as bad as it looks. it took me about an hour to do my installation only because i wanted it to be neat and clean.

hmm.... should i put one in my car??!! i think it would be awesome... whats a good unit?

i love alpine for their hu's but their dvd players dont look too hot.

Ive heard great things about the kenwood 7015 in dash screen.

Would 800 bucks be enough for a decent player?

1200mk · 02-09-2005, 07:34 PM

hmmm... or maybe i should just use the 800 on a good sq set up.... ahhhh decisions decisions...

9835+cl61a+amp = win?

i already have a e12k and a jbl bp600.1
