add a screen somewhere in the car and you'll be set!

I was thinking of something with a colour screen.

But I want ppl to hop into my car and go "WTF WOW!" thats why i want the bling factor.. was also thinking about dbl din aswell, Or rip out the GPS/CD player from a 380 and installing it into my Car.

my friend has that JVC, i didnt like it.
get a Clarion DXZ656MP,
MP3 and WMA file playable with ID3-TAG and WMA-TAG display
Motorized sloping consol with aluminium face panel
Full dot matrx display with 728-variable colors
6 ch outputs, 2 ch inputs, CeNet DVD control, TV control, Stacker control, iPod control,
screen savers, 4X53watts, full tuning capibillity, i could go on.....
$550

RiskyRog is tryin to sell some Alpine gear ? slide out dvd head unit jobby i think it was. check the For Sale section ?

Asylum is on the right track... add a screen with the money left over....

Or look up in the range at the one with the 3inch colour screen built in, it is only new RRP$999. It is black and the screen is off-centered to the right. :D

if you want the wow effect, save up a couple more grand and get a LCD touch screen HU.. otherwise, to most people who get into your car, it's 'just another pretty head unit'

Can i get a mp3 player with dvd video screen that has tv tuner for under $1k?

Can i get a mp3 player with dvd video screen that has tv tuner for under $1k?

probably not, although the Eclipse headunit i have is touch-screen dvd, mp3, cd and memory stick compatible, and probably isn't much over $1000 nowdays. the only thing missing is a TV tuner which i haven't seen great results in a car anyway

I would like to get a Pioneer JAVIC D1.
Now that would be sweet.

what bout a nice screen and a carputer? could pick up the one in the for sale section, then save up a lil and build a nice carputer, put a tv-tuner in there and have the lot for say under $2k easy. u'd start off with the screen/HU thats in the for sale section, then save a lil more and have the extra...worth a thought anyway

also he hasnt had many bites on the screen, so u could probably get it at a good price

DEH-P8650MP

Im thinking of getting that from pioneer, what do you guys think?

Anthony.

1k ??

damn you should try find one with USB stick support that would be awsome :D

JVC Exad, the one with the 3" screen inbuilt on the headunit, now thats awesome

That one..

What do you guys think?

$1000 for bling factor, no offense but that's crazy. Spend $1000 on some subs and have there eyes bleeding so much they won't be able to see the bling.

make sure ur insurance company isnt one of the ones that limits ur stereo value to 10% of the car...which is most of them! and u'd probably blow the whole lot just on the HU. also remember the HU is gonna be the most stolen thing in the car, if they do break in. alarms and immobilisers dont stop ur HU from gettin nicked.

something to think about before blowing alot of money just to impress ur mates. i'm sure they wont really care unless u had a screen, and even then...

Im leaning towards the pioneer for sound quality.. panasonic for the graphics

if they do break in. alarms and immobilisers dont stop ur HU from gettin nicked.


Well, immobilisers can't but alarms can. Have like 6 'screamer' alarms setup directed towards the theifs ears, could punish there ears so much that they just leave.
