Anyone have an in-dash DVD system?
What is it and would you recommend it?

I want to buy one this week, but it's so confusing.
The one I'm looking at is a JVC KD-AVX33, but I'm still not sure.

Is it possible to get everything included with these systems?

DVD / CD / mp3
am/fm tuner
Blu-tooth
GPS
5.1 sound
USB port
Built in hard drive
Receive your text messages on screen as you drive?
Sat radio ready
Back up cam input
able to control a changer that holds both cds and dvds

That's about all I can think of for now.
I don't know jack about this new stuff out these days, so if you have any DVD type system, let me know your thoughts, how you like it, and what you have. also price (ball park)

D are you there mang? You're an expert in all the fancy schmancy gadgetry aint ya?

Also, if anyone knows any good forums for reading about this, let me know. Thanks you!

and Buckey, I don't wanna hear about how good your in dash 8-track player is holding up.

 

Check out www.crutchfield.com. Excellent place to see what will fit your vehicle and what each system has.

 

You should be watching the road!!!

Not video's....


Lord help the person that hits me if they are too busy watching tv..

...zap!

BUt yea King Fish has it, go to crutchfield use thier chart browse around, find what suits you and will fit, then g oshopping for it. They will sell it to you too, but are reather expensie most the time, sometimes they have monster sales and can get it resonable.

 

Quiet from the peanut gallery

Don't worry bro, you can't watch these things while you're driving, only in "park"
Unless I can figure out how to over ride it


Thanks for the replies everyone else.

 

i have the Pioneer 5700(i think thats the number) and i love it and i also have my ipod hooked up to it...you can override the dvd protection by hooking a switch to it...you can go to my gallery and check it out...hope that helps...

 

Thanks Matt,

I'll take a look.

I finally bought the in-dash video unit today and had it installed.

You can call me cheap if you want, but I just couldnt pass up this deal:
JVD KD-AVXII for $239 installed.

I went in and they had 1 open box sitting there. Some dude bought it and returned it because he found the screen too small.
It's only 2.7 inches, but for me its good enough.

Best Buy discounted it to $239 + install, but I managed to get them to include it. (after a few minutes of bitchin and tellin the mngr what a valuable customer I am)

Here's a link:

I'll use it mostly to play concert DVD's as I drive, and wifey can watch her "Murder She Wrote" as we drive to the east coast.

I got the guy to install it so it works "all the time) but honestly peeps, don't worry about it because the screen is so small, you can't really watch it while driving anyway, for me it's motr to listen.

It has nice sound, decent looking picture, and the EQ presets are not too bad.

This is what I'm getting...

I have the 9410.... It's a great unit, except the switch in it that tells it when the screen is open has gone out. But it's 3 years old... Will cost me about $200 to get the entire unit rebuilt.

 

that's badass. i want something with a nice screen like the ford factory one, but theres no way you can hide it from *******s breakin in to it...


BTW Zaiirman have you ever thought of getting 05 lights n grill for your truck? a friend of mine did it to his 2002-2003 not sure what year, style like yours tho, looks great. ill send you pics if you want..

 

Yes. See my front bumper? That's my excuse for getting the 06 front end. I'll be getting the 2006 front bumper and the chrome edition grille... It'll look something like this, only less whiteish and more redish

 

cool cool, his came out pretty well

 

Your buddy has an 03-04... and he didn't do the bumper swap. Just the grill and headlights. me.

I'm also going to do the emblem swap to the newer style ones. Then, the only giveaway from the exterior that my truck is an older model will be the 7.3 decals and the wheels.

 

Yeah i know he didnt do the bumper swap, still look good IMO. he said he couldnt afford the badges at this point lol i guess he just sold his 20s too =\
