Questions about a In Dash DVD Player, Looking at this one on ebay. Options

[cnelson]

Ok, i'm looking into getting a In Dash DVD player for my celi. I can't afford a new one, so i figure ebay would be my best bet. I need to know the following things about this player. ( http://cgi.ebay.com/IN-CAR-Double-Din-DVD-...1QQcmdZViewItem ) would I (well me and my friend, who have hooked up some interor lights and thats it) be able to install this? Will it even if in my celi? Does it look legit and have everything i should? Thanks for any help -cnelson.

yeah i'm looking for a Nav System without a screen something that i put an AUX to my in dash player. Is it possible to find this? I went to best buy and circut city no luck there all screens and way to exspenive. I'm going to take a video in a minute or so and i'll post it on here. also how'd you get the ps2 controllers in the arm reats?! i was thinking about hooking my old N64 to the screen. but if i got a nav system is there anyway to add another AUX in and out cause right now the player only has one AUX. -cnelson.

EDIT: all the nav systems i've seen have screens. is it even possible to get one without a screen?

All possible! Which head unit do you have? the PS2 (the redesigned slim line one) runs off 8.5 V and there is a Ciggy lighter powersupply you can get (ebay £7!) that you can butcher and connect to the socets on the back. I will take some pics tomorrow to show you.

With regards to the controller sockets in the arm rest, you need to buy a multi tap (99p from ebay) and then extend the cable (you could use telephone cable for this) It will require a bit of butchery of the multi tap, and a custom plate for the arm rest, again pics to follow.

Alpine make an AV splitter for their screens (as thats what ive got thats all ive looked into - but i would asume most brands have something similar) there are a couple of universal switch boxes available out there that will allow you to switch between AV inputs, some of the more advanced will allow you to split different devces to different screens - ps2 for the kids in the back and DVD for the wife up front (keeps her from telling you your lost!)

does your headunit have a seperate input for sat nav?
