Anybody with a microvision screen: I have a 98 Maxima and i'm wondering how the screen with fit and attach into the stock hu area. Anyone who has the screen please let me know how you got it installed. Thanks a lot.

 

Yes, it fits snug between the factory brackets in the double din spot, and a single din deck fits in the third din/pocket with the door.

 

Keep your eye opened in the group deal section, that is where most people get them.

 

ok thanks a lot

 

how tough is install? i would like to install a Microvision w/ another HU below it. Also, I would like to put a portable DVD player in the armrest. or would it make more sense to just get a HU that plays DVD's?

 

if you have any sense youll do the headunit with it. Its a pain getting into the center console or the dash everytime you need to switch
im running a ps2 and I sure as hell miss my dvh5000mp

 

hi, i'm thinking of buying a microvision screen and hu that plays dvd's. i want to know what i need to do to play dvd's while driving. is it just a matter of plug and play? or do i need to ground to parking brake or something?

thanks in advance.

 

Does anyone ever read the damn stickes or FAQs???? Or even the thread on HOW TO INSTALL THE MICROVISION SCREEN??

 

enough said, my bad. was jus wondering if standalone hu had same issues as flipout units? but i guess not

 

This screen is easy to install, I am molding mine right now, well, the primer is drying as we speak. You just take the orange wire and red wire and twist them together, and hook to the power on your HU or whatever, I used a switch so I could turn it off and on. But the screen is nice, and very simple, I ended up shaving the side of mine down a lot, so the brackets sat right on it snug. To install(no molding, just hot glueing into place, and hooking up the wires) it took me appx. 20 min. not hard at all. If you need any help or have questions PM me

 

In some cases it is, in alot its not. Flip-out/double dins are typically replacement HUs in view of the driver, so some minimal precautions are taken to avoid distractions. Stand alone DVD players dont have that issue, so theyre typically not protected.

The post wasnt directed towards you alone, just in general, youll soon see how many reposts there are of the same thing without any research first.

BTW welcome to the OrgY, enjoy your stay.

 

thanks for the info and glad to join the party...

 

could you put up the link to that thread please? I was also wondering if you or anyone knows about having the microvision screen, with a ps2, and alpine deck setup...basically if you can give any tips or advice about any of the fitting. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO WHOEVER CAN REPLY!

 

It's in the stickies.

 

No, what are those?

 

here are some pics I took after I finshed installing everything.

and i had to relocate the dvd player.

 

can i ask where you grounded the screen? i was looking behind the console and i couldn't really find any spot. so i temporarily grounded it to the bracket that holds all the units (climate, audio, etc).

 

I have the head rest screens and the dvd player ground to one screw as far back and to the left as posible. Just below all the wires there is some metal that you can use for a good ground. I'll take another pic to show the spot I used. this one is looking down from the top of the AC controls.
