Show us your DVD players!
Hey chaps, been a few threads in the past on putting a DVD player in, but not many pics about or reviews on whether people are happy with them.
Sure more than a few of us are thinking about it, and a decent thread with pics and people's experiances might give us the kick up the arse that we need!
Just a couple of cheaper examples I'm thinking off - both have my main wants: bluetooth, detachable screen and USB connection.
Single Din, 4.3" screen:
Double Din, 7" Screen

CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

top notch
GO FOR IT!!!!. I have had that model in my car for almost a year now and I'm totally happy with it. Takes a while to set up all the features and the instruction book is only suitable for dunny paper. (The trick is to set your stations using the remote ) But the bluetooth is worth it's weight in gold, DVD is fantastic and the USB is SOOO much better than a stack of CD's floating around the car. It can also be attatched to e reverse camera. I also connected a TV antenna so I never miss an episode of Neighbours. Connected the whole lot to two Orionn amps and a Sub which really improves the sound quality. I'll put ap pics one of these days... You can pick one up on Ebay for about $200 from ENEON but I bought mine from an Aus distributer and wasted an extra $150. But for $350 , I'm still really happy with it. I'm in Melb if you want to check it out before you buy

Oh yes I should warn you that they are a bitch to fit and since I had mine in and out more times than a bridegrooms @#*% I ended up cracking my surround, but that was due to carelessness on my part. but basically you need to mount it in a cradle as they sit in front of the surround and not behind like regular head units. This is because it's a 4 inch motorized screen with variable viewing angles.

Any ideas for what i can place underneath my JVC KD-AVX2 DVD player because the dimensions on it are a bit larger than the standard single din and it needs space for the motorised face to flip? I was also thinking of taking out the stereo surround and painting it a colour, could anyone that has done this them me what you did and used?

Since i was taking pics of my car, i thought might as well take pics of my in-dash DVD player. I love it! My mate at JB-HI FI in Preston-Melbourne, got me a good deal for this Kenwood in-dash DVD player. The main reason why i got...it plays DivX! So now i can rip like 5-6 movies on 1 DVD...hehe...i could also hook up my IPOD but i don't have 1, it also has bluetooth($250), navigator($1000) & TV Tuner($450) capability but cost extra..crap! I'm a big gamer so got my PS2 Slim & XBOX hooked up to it(Its currently not in the car, no space...lol), now i can live in my car...lol...but now i was thinking to hook up my PS3...lol..see what happens...my mate has got a XBOX 360 in his & its awesome! =)
