In dash Motorised screens

[BennyBoi]

I got money for crimbo so im goin 2 buy a headunit with motorised screen for watching dvds.

Do they wire up exactly the same as normal headunits? someone sed to me they had to be wired to the handbrake or something :S

cheers, and merry xmas!

[Danr]

I got one the other day, i believe they do exactley that. What one are you looking at matey?

[argylefan1985]

yeah u dont have to wire it to the handbreak tho.

Its ment so that you will only watch it when your handbreak is up but theres ways around it.

[Scott]

wire the handbrake cable directly to an earth and it will play anytime.

Some units have a seperate tuck away brain unit, plug and play though

[BennyBoi]

yea, i didnt want it to only work wen the handbrakes up, cos i want people 2 b able 2 watch it wen im driving, ill jus hav 2 make sure i dont get 2 interested and start watching it whilst goin along....

im lookin at two that iv found so far, i dont wna spend too much, £300 is my max reli.

[Scott]

please dont use text talk your not limited to characters and it makes it easier to read:)

I havent used any of those ones so cant really comment

[Danr]

Easy to use and good picture quality :)

[BennyBoi]

that looks nice, how hard are they to fit? i wired up my sub so i kinda know what im doing, not too sure about the whole ISO plug thing, i thought you just unplugged it from one headunit and straight into another, is that right? Id rather do it myself than pay to get it done.

And sorry about the text talk, its just the way im used to typing from using msn and stuf :S

[Danr]

I think its exactely the same lad, just plug in and play really. Alex did it for me so i don't 100% know lmao :)

[Alex]

It will work straight out the box, had quite a few outputs so should be ok for all you need.

[Barry123]

EDIT: since when have I called you Danr? WTF.

[BennyBoi]

did the plugs from the saxo fit it or did u have to but adaptors for it.

Main problem with the ripspeed unit is no removable face plate iirc. So what with it saying ripspeed and that your askin for trouble

[pubert]

i know this isnt a motorised one, but what do you's think of this:

was going to make a thread on it, but then seen this one and thought its kind of the same thing

Im trying to come up with a cuning way of hiding it, will let you know if i come up with anything but at the moment its a no go.

I reckon that would be really poor, 3.5 inches would be really small to watch anything good on anyway.

Read it somehwere before, think it was the max power haynes ICE manual, the bloke made a little box out of fibre glass with fake gauges in it, stuck it over the HU whilst he was gone, was painted the same colour as the dash. If your handy with the DIY, especially fibreglass its worth a try and would look good too probably:afro:

Something similar to what i was considering, also, a really angry ferret to sit in my car :P If someone breaks in he can bite their face off ;)

[Banger_VTR]

[Danr]

[Banger_VTR]
