theres better headunits and when are you going to watch a film... bit of a gimmick!

[djflipsaxo]

i had one, it will fit fine.
personally i think you could buy better but i couldnt fault it

[saxovtr16]

what headunits do you recommend then?

[Lancek]

ripspeed not the best make in the world ,
you pay for what you get i guess.
anything with a valid brand liek kenwood or alpine along them lines

[Greig_Vtr]

Headunits?? . . . Alpine is probs your best shout within your pricerange.
If you are willing to push the boat out a little further Eclipse headunits are second to none!!!!

Yea theres better avaliable but if you just want a screen then they're good ive got one and they're only 40w so dont give amazing sound from the speakers so if you get one id suggest an amp for your component speakers.

Kenwood,alpine or panasonic.......

ive got one cant fault it either i watch it every now and then but mainly bought it for when i go on longs drives and got mates in the car

you could do a lot better for the money, and i think they are a gimmic and a bit chavvy. for the money you could get a really good head unit like an alpine!

i would only get one if there was one on a good deal!

they look nice, with the screen hiden away, only problem i have with it is that it doesnbt have a detatchable part to it which means if some1 does nick they are able to use it :(

used to get ripspeed stuff coming back all the time when i worked at halfords. no end of faults with them. cheap and poor quality

which is why i bought an alpine. 4x50w cd/mp3 with fullspeed ipod interface for £120. had it a good year now with no problems. plenty of features and great sound quality

been tempted to swap for a jvc cd/dvd with a small 3.5" approx screen built into the face. just know it wouldn't be as good as the alpine though for sound and build quality

had an alpine in my first car. sold the car with the stereo still in then got a jvc and have now gone back to alpine

only way i would bother with in-car dvd now is if i could stretch to buying an alpine screen or possibly pioneer

Ive got a Pioneer flip out dvd sitting in my room at the moment that i took out of my saxo. I havent got round to sticking it in my ST (i dont actually think im allowed to put it in according to my boyfriend as it will spoil the car), but that one was awesome...maybe you should think about spending a bit more money and getting a better version of a dvd player?

I had one, was decent picture and worked fine for about 3 month but then the DVD player started to die, to be honest, I wouldn't bother, either save up for a decent one or put the £200 odd quid for one towards a good CD unit.
