hey, i was wondering if anyone had purchased an indash dvd player for their R, im scared it might not have enough clearance because the console area comes out on the top...

if you do.. wat model/brand and when it comes out does it barely hitt he shift **** then pop up? and is their enough clearance to use the climate controls

 

Just more eye candy for the theives

 

don't get one! LOL the car is to loud for you to really hear it any ways!

 

just get a in dash navigation system.

i plan on going with this jvc set up and adding a back up camera for the hell of it.... or pass up camera rather...

that and i can watch fnf tokyo drift when im in the staging lanes out at the track lol

 

A flip out DVD player will not work unless you have someone make you a custom dash, i tried to put a flip out one in my car and it hit all of the controls. a double din dvd player will work tho.

 

i started to put a computer in the car, so far about $650 into in and it does way more than any off the shelf one
-almost unlimited storage for MP3s
-GPS
-OBD2 reader
-MP3s
-video
and it plays through the stock head unit. Mine had the casette player with seperate CD player below it. So there is an adapter you can but to change it to RCA jacks
If your interested, i can post some pics and more info

 

That sounds nice, thought about putting a laptop in the car to use it as a navigational system. Would like to see some pictures, post them up

 

OK... here is the thing. You have to get one that comes out and tilts too. I had the kenwood one. I love Alpine but that dvd only comes out and doesn't tilt. Withouth the dvd having the option to tilt you won't see anything. I had it on my ITR that got stolen and they took that thing out if it too. More than a grand. If I could go back I wouldn't buy it. I mean yeah it looks good and cool but honestly is not worth it. You probably will never watch a DVD since you'll be driving and later on you'll find out that all it does is just play music which you can do with a regular deck. Is up to you... people told me not to get it and I got it and then saw what a waste of money I did

I just used the laptop/GPS module on a trip. The laptop is in the passenger seat and Microsoft Maps and Streets or Streets and Trips was running. Not a clean thing to do, but hey at least it's easily removable.

 

i ahve all the links to parts you need at home so i'll post everything tonight.
I had to take my LCD out and send it back becuase the stupid thing shorted out and started smoking. I never got pics of it in the dash.
I'll post back tonight

i was always doing the laptop on the passanger seat, but got tired of it lol

I've loaded it up with everything from GPS to MP3's to Music Videos, Movies, TV shows etc. Maybe I'll take some screen shots and add some updates...

 

^^^ Sorry i think that looks horrible, there are tons that come right out of where your CD player would be and once the car goes off, the screen goes right back in

Well... at least you said sorry before you shat all over it.

 

hey kyle??
do you own an integra?
not bashing you or anything but in case you didn't notice most screens usually get in the way of the shifter or they get in the way of the actual heater vent controls.
so while you're driving and you get cold all of a sudden, you need to close the screen and adjust the controls and than open it back up again. same goes for the weather
and sometimes there aren't enough room for you to maneuver your shifter as the double din positioning isn't right.

 

Its definitely interesting.
It doesnt block anything, looks nice and OEMish, well, sort of
Very creative.
I always wanted to replace the stereo+change try thing with a touchscreen lcd.

hey! I didn't know you were on this forum.

 

ya have to put it at the top, center air vents....but it doesnt look that good up there...

 

Heres mine, it folds in and out, with bout 1cm clearance between the screen and heater controls, and the angle was still good enough to view the screen perfectly.

 

yeah i had a alpine monitor/dvd player in my old acura SLX, and it got in the way of a bunch of stuff. but it was ballin back then

i wouldnt get it, cause i bet that **** would get noticed quick and might become a target

I wanted it as high as possible so that I can keep my eyes on the road. I took that last picture really quick and at night where the flash makes things look bad. Here are a couple of better daytime shots:
