which is better???

is it better to buy a 7" screen(replace the factory radio head unit) and then install a dvd/mp3/cd plyer to go with it, or is it better to install a motorized screen (all-in-one, in the storage space below radio) and leave the factory system where it is?

I'm currently researching the different ways to setup screens in my car and was just wondering if ayone had any advice they could give on this matter....thanx guys.

Marlon.

I think a 7inch would be much cheaper and look much cleaner.

Us 5gen guys, don’t have the luxury of putting in a 7inch, (only 2 dins) without doing a lot of custom work

if you have money to spend on a motorized screem (2000-3000) then get it, otherwise 7inch will work too.

i got the microvision 7" lcd in my dash ($180), Pioneer HU ($115), PowerAcoustic DVD/VCD/CD/MP3 player ($120, under passenger seat), Pioneer interface ($30). It sure beats paying over $1000..
