In dash dvd NON retractable?
I'm looking for a unit for the dash that is DVD/navigation capable, but the screen stays in place, like in the corvettes, not the kind that retracts, and lifts up over the AC.
Closest example I can find is this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/E283-...QQcmdZViewItem
Anyone know one of a good brand, or that will fit in our cars? Or is that in the link good enough?
thanks.

kenwoods got good stuff, price wise, kenwood blows pioneer out of the water.... i wouldnt mind spending the 500 whatever bucks on that unit, looks very nice, im an alpine fan though... so im saving for my alpine indash. no problem man, anytime, try www.ikesound.com too, they have good deals. I have dealt with both sites before, and i recomend them both. good luck, and let us know what you decide on

I wonder if theres a HU that's configurable to work with steering wheel controls?
Also, you lose that..I forget the name, technology where you can see the names of songs on the radio, and more clear reception right?

i wouldn't buy anything like that off eBay.
i would recommend the Eclipse unit that looks very similar to the Kenwood that was posted. you can find it here:

Wow, that one looks nice too, although more on the price.
When you have the navigation capable unit, do you have to pay a monthly price, if so, to who?

And normally, The Nav functions are GPS or DVD Based. The only reason you'd pay anything for it, is for traffic updates and things of that sort.

I own a car audio webpage at www.lsaudioco.com
I am putting the Alpine IVA-W200 in my car pretty soon, it is new and it is from a manufacturer you can trust. Check it out on my site here is the link . It goes for $999-1100 in stores and I just lowered the price so enjoy.

Bro maybe you should try getting a dvd unit that flips out and put it in that space that isn't used for anything. I'll throw a pic up here so you know what I mean. This way you can keep the stock head unit and the RD and all the steering wheel controls and just use the fold out for dvds. What do you think?

Yeah, that would be pretty cool also.
I'd have to look around for units that slide down.
but if the stock unit was there, the DVD would have to be lower, so the screen would hit the AC controls wouldn't it? Unless it's at a slant.

Something to be worried about, or would a little modification allow it in?
