New toy to install ...
I have allways hated having to break my neck changing the Dvd's in my roof mounted player for my six year old.Never mind the fact that half the smeggin things are scratched to bits and I seem to spend half my life polishing them to be able to use them .. So I have got one of these and am going to install it in the glovebox, next to the stacker(which will no longer be needed as a result also) ... Don't you just love technoligy....

I think the DVD and the CD (other then a sales medium) will be dead in 5 years with this stuff comming out.

This means with a 200GB HDD you can store and play

Over 300 DVD Movies!

100,000 MP3's!

Specs:

Nice. Let me know how it works out.

 

i was thinking about the same thing.. good luck and let us know how this works...

 

heres's link of car pc... complete system..
http://www.cappuccinopc.com/buddie-ml-8000.asp

 

I see no Maxima nor Teana.

 

Thanks for that ,however, just using my MVIX 200GB as storage for DVDs and Music...and its got all the Video and audio codex built in and the FM modulator is good too.. This is not expensive all up about $350 installed.

 

thats cool, maybe i'l consider such mod when I get tv's in my ride..

 

thats cheap... where can i get that ???

 

Is that $350.00 US?

 

350$ for a 200GB storage that plays dvd mp3 wav wma and ****load more formats it looks like ? not bad at all, this is exactly what ive been looking for, i want to get an in dash dvd player and hook it up to a hard drive , i have never seen an in car hard drive with 200 GB yet, thats awesome, please post details on where to look into this.

 

Don't forget that it also has an FM transmitter as well , very handy..
Spoke to the local dealer they are not allowed to export them , but he is getting the US dealer address for me and i will post soon..Pricing is the USA is slightly higher , but not much... You don't even need a DVD player just the screen ... and away you go..

 

Here is one on ebay :
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/3-5-MVIX-Hard...QQcmdZViewItem

This one has a 160gb drive in them , but you can buy them with no drive for $100 cheaper then fit any IDD drive up to 300gb into them.. they are the way of the future. I am going to put a 300 IDD drive into mine picked up one on ebay for $140 ...

Going to connect mine into my front Navigation screen and my rear roof DVD player.

 

very cool....

 

lol buying used stuff from ebay scares me

 

??? it's all brand new and still sealed in the factory bags according to the sellers ..

 

let us know how it turns out please

 

I quess you have to spend a whole day at home loading cd's and dvd's.

 

I got in contact with the manufacturer itself and they gave me info on their product..

If you are interested in purchasing MV-5000U model, you can buy it online or
pls. visit our amazon or ebay stores:

Mvix(USA) Ebay Store: http://stores.ebay.com/Mvix-USA-Inc

Mvix(USA) Amazon zshop: www.amazon.com/shops/mvixusa

But you guys have to remember that this is a very limited product...

this runs on a firmware operating system that cant be upgraded by a regular guys just like you and I... you have to download it from their site and a whole bunch of stufff to it..

Now, I like this product because it does some of what i wanted to do... BUt not all..

I want a system that would work as DVD player, music player (mp3,mp4,WInfiles, etc.) , games and specially a upgradable NAv system that will be realtime????

Sounds great !!!

I still doing research on this and I think I might found the solution.... Car computer...
A computer that runs on 12V and as small as your aftermarket radio....

I will give you guys detail later on..

 

A day, try a week or two Warren.. I have like 70 DVD alone which belong to my 6 year old that will need to go on it and then maybe some music for me...

However, once its done it will keep her happy for endless hours .. and thus me..too

Kapesport.. I allready have Sat Nav .. So I am just using it as a quick access DVD & music Very Large storage for which the price is hard to beat..+ I can just run RGB into the back of my Nav and into my Rear DVD screen..also have the bonus of just dropping the drive out and into my computer to update or add movies ect..so for my application is just magic.

 

thats sweet... I iwsh i had tht set up.. but for me .. i need all those.. good luck and let us know how that works for you...

 

id still use an xbox over that thing :/

used xbox from ebay with a broken dvdrom = 60 bucks..300 gig hd, 120 bucks, softmod to run xbmc if you know what you are doing free

180 bucks is a nice deal to play everything

 

buying a broken Xbox probably isnt going to end up lasting you very long is it lol? so the xbox can be hooked up to in an dash dvd im guessing though right?

 

not sure if the xbox can play MP3 and NAV? but if thats the case thats cool..

 

xbox can play everything you throw at it when you install xbmc


and as for NAV on xbox http://350tt.com/xboxcarpc/FAQ.html

 

the only thing broken (if you went that route) is usually the dvd rom..but if you install a bigger HD in it, you dont need the dvdrom


as for longevity, the one i got from ebay has been going for 2 years now.


i dunno its just a suggestion

 

very interesting, thanks for the info. after i get this new paint job on my car thats the next thing ill be looking into.

 

I've had a carpc in my maxima since 02 when I bought it. http://www.maximapc.com and http://www.flickr.com/photos/smesser/sets/1096066/ for the latest pics of things I've done.
