i want to do this soo bad...im going to go with a microvision monitor but what should i do dvd player wise. i want to keep my bose speakers because they are nice but i also wanna be able to watch the damn TV...should i just get a cd player and install it below the tv and place another dvd player somewhere or what else can i do...and how is the wiring for this project...are there any specific wires i need to get....noob on wires! thanks for the help, pics help most of all!

 

If you read the Car Audio FAQ sticky, there is a post showing you what adapter you will need to run the Bose amps/speakers with an aftermarket deck. As for the CD and DVD players, I would suggest the Poineer HU that plays DVDs. Sure, it's like $500 but everything will work out of that one unit. I currently have a Blaupunkt DVD player in my trunk and it's a PITA. It doesn't remember where you left off, so you always have to start over when you shut the car over and changes DVDs gets annoying. I have to pull over and pop the trunk everytime I want to change it. I would have switched HUs already if I didn't have Sirius. Sadly, Poineer's only work with XM. ....oh yea, if you are a noob with wires GET HELP!

 

Getting a CD player and a DVD player would cost you probably the same as a dvd/cd in one. Plus it would reguire more wires runing and customization. You better of with Pioneer like erty said.
I personally have Pioneer dvh-p7000 and I'm happy with it.

 

I just had a pioneer AVIC N1 installed in my 04 max and I love it. It has navigation/dvd/cd and I didn't have to replace my speaker. I did not opt for the tv tuner. I am loving it.

 

stick to an all in one kind of deck, got a panasonic vda 7300u only cost about 800 or so off of ebay its and indash 7" wide screen. great quality and the brain gives me option to put additonal screens and other things like ps2 or sumthing.

 

oh and the tv tuner is cool only if you live outside in a like an open city area, otherwise you get sh*ty reception.

 

^^^ so would you recommend the tuner? i have thought about getting one in the future only because its weird having a tv without watching "tv".

 

"tv" is a misnomer, it's really a monitor.

 

I would recommend getting a new one, especially from Pioneer and just buying the TV Tuner so you can have everything all in one, like they said. Just in case, if anyone is interested, I'm selling my Pioneer 6500DVD touchscreen and DVD, with the AVIC80-DVD Navigation unit together for $1,000. If anyone is interested PM me

 

i get that stuff wholesale im new to the forum but you can check my refs on ebay
HowLowdRu
or as the sound mod on stratusphere.us/forums PM me if your interested.

 

how much for the navi alone?

 

The navi alone is about $1500, but since the person above me says he gets it whosale, he'll proably get it for a little under a grand. Try asking him

 

they all sound like good prices, I bought my panasonic for $800 with the tuner, and the navi only cost me about 200

 

^^^ thats more like it. 1g is not wholesale. the avic-n1 according to a friend at BB says the cost is like 800. so a navi should be like 300-400 im guessing tops.

 

i doubt That ^^^^^^^^^

 

^^^ thats fine. if you dont agree with the wholesale price of an add on like a pioneer navi being 400 thats cool but think about it... do you think a brahma costs over $400 to make. id say maybe like $50-100. its all marketing and markup my friend.

 

I put my PS2 in my max for DVD viewing and gaming pleasure!!!

AVIC80DVD PIONEER DVD/ROM NAVIGA UNIT 1,100.00
DVHP500MP PIONEER DVD RECEIVER 425.00
SDVP7 PIONEER INDASH DVD 365.00


that would be shipped direct from my wholesaler

and it all depends on the volume of what he moves. Woofers and such I get much better deals from dvm. Other than that I usually go through a store I worked at in california and have him order them for me, as my volume doesnt constitute as good a deal as theirs. You have a specific model your looking for? I know that with the avic i dont get a good deal at all 1200-1400 refurb or new. shrug. I have other units from other sources as well

 

Having this setup in the dash is good. But living in the city and having my car park on the street most of the time. I'm afraid they might break into my car for the TV.

Hey, JoE'sMaX01
Is there a high occurance in Brooklyn? I hangout there on weekends. If I have one install, I might be asking for trouble. I am planning on a 7" in dash and a PS2 under the seat. Any guidance?

 

I got my flip out in my car for about a month now but no problem so far thank god (knock on wood) but i had it in my other car for almost 6-7 months no problems. I got tints rite away so you can't see anythin inside my car, I have about 20% all around. But the unit itself is hard to see when lookin from outside. All my work is under my passanger seat so I dont think u need to worry too much, just be careful of when you park dont have the screen fliped out or open just close the unit like a block or so before you park or somethin like that. Thats what I do I make sure to have my system and dvd off like 2-4 blocks before i get to my destination, just in case someone peps what i have, you can never know so im just safe rather than bein sorry.
