Need recommendations: MP3/DVD/CD Players - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I'm just planning ahead because I will be going on a road trip in the near future. I need suggestions on DVD/MP3/CD Players, but I don't need a screen right now, since I dont even have the money.
I wanted to keep below $200 and wanted something flashy atleast.

But I'm looking for something that:
Supports DVD-R's
Is all-region
displays Japanese subtitles
has a remote

I don't know if there are certain power things I should look for in the player, like how many watts it is, etc.

I've had a look on Ebay, but I'm always skeptical about the quality of the products on there.
Well, any suggestions would be appreciated with a link for the product info.

Thanks

Your budget is way too low for what you're asking. Unless you happen to find a used one.

RichieRichJP · 01-08-2005, 01:34 PM

Really? I've seen quite a handful for less than $150...
Well, how much do you think I'll be spending on one?

Well yeah you can get a pyle or a boss or some junk like that but for a decent one like a pioneer or alpine you're going to have to spend over 500 bucks. Maybe you can find a Japanese circa alpine on ebay.

i just bought a kenwood myself. having difficulty installing it tho haha.

yeah, pyle sucks from what i hear. hit up www.pricegrabber.com, they got some good stuff, or www.crutchfield.com. for under $200, DVD support for a decent player might be tough to find. read reviews. hope this helps.

Thanks meliketoyota.
I went to a Japanese Tire Kan a month ago and I remember seeing a Kenwood one that was $235 or so, but I have no idea if it'll work in my car, since its Japanese

at crutchfield, you can enter ur car model and year, and it will tell you whats compatible and whats not. also try www.etronics.com, pretty low prices. got my stuff from them.

when i first read the first post i thought the same thing...youre price range is way too low - but then again i wouldnt be surprised if prices were much cheaper in Japan than they are in America. One thing to keep in mind is to make absolutely sure that the radio/CD/DVD player is the right size for your dash - a buddy of mine ordered a "car CD player" online and it is not made to fit into the car, it is too small and has no place for brackets.
