hmm
I couldn't really figure out how to take min eout either...I notiecd you said you want to move your HU down..I will assume the TV unit you bought is just a motoroized monitor and not a reciever also...What did you buy? How much did you get it for? I wanted to buy one of these, but the ones I saw had like radio and cd in them too, which I dont want since I just bought a new HU

hey MP3-TV
It just better to have it installed by a hook up shop. It's to hard to do it. I cost me about $120 to have it installed. and plus you have to also remeber you must have a DVD player or PS2 to play DVD's and to power the DVD or PS2 you must have a inverter to change DC to AC. That to makes it's hard. so play the money and have it installed.
hey KzA
I say you get the KVT M700. it works great with you head unit that you have in your car stock. This is what i have in my MP3 and it's been great and i love it. so the link to the TV is below.

whats the deal with watching TV in the car....like not DVD/PS2 or anything, but TV......are there LCD screen that have TV tuners built in? are htey expensive? what about antennas for watching TV in cars nowadays? im sure technology must have come up with something better than that "wing" tv antenna all the limos had on the backs in the 80s
yeah they have them built in BUT they are a LOT of money. BUT you can buy the KVT-M700 which is just a motorized TV and go and but the optional TV tunner. The tunner is the size of the TV brain and gets mounted under your seat or in the trunk. The antenna is a very small thing. There are Two of them and get mounted on either side of you front windshield. But don't worry they are the size of a small wire. and they run along each side and can't not be seen.
hope that helps
hope that helps
screens with tv tuners arent that bad..it only gets expensive when you have the built in CD and DVD players...also Tv tuners just flat out suck..at least in my area...i guess it all depends on the television stations signals..but you have to be stationary to even try to watch a LOCAL tv channel
Saided, I have a ps2 installed and in inverter and all that..and I havent bought an in-dash yet, i have a couple of ideas on what i want, but that Kenwood is what i really wanted at first, but i cant see paying over 1000 for just a tv, even if it is touchscreen, when I can get a tv with tuner which is a 7" widescreen for 550.

Yeah, If anyone knows and info on taking the HU and the pocket out let us know - I plan to do the same and I was unsure if there was some special type of din tool to take it out or not.
mp3-tv, what was the total cost for those monitors (in headrest) the install and the dc converter, and was the yellow trim a custom paint job? thanks!

the tv's installed were about 320 for BOTH...had a buddy do them though..and the tvs were about 140 apiece..so it was 20 bucks for the adhesive i needed..as for the yellow trim around the tv..all i did was cover them in vinyl...got another buddy who does that..just used a scrap piece..didnt cost me nothing
as for the headunit..my buddy just use the same din key as a ford has..slipped right out..no prob..any local stero shop should be abe to get it out no prob.

ok, I know that you and I have been talking back an fourth about these tv's, but if I may........did you buy them on line and if so where at? how are the images on the screen? does it get good screen resolution? and I wanted to ask....how did you link the 2 monitors from the back to the front.......thanx!
they are farenheit...5.6" headrest tvs..i got them from a Dragon distributing catalog..but i got everything at cost...my frind owns a performance shop so i get his prices...as for splitting the signal just use on of these..(see attached pic)
i just ran the video from my PS2 to this little splitter..then to each tv..cost about $1.00..if that
as for the pic..you kinda have to be head on..but most monitors are like that..but the picture is GREAT..i couldnt be happier for the price.

mp3-tv.. i talked to a friend that sad after you pull the deck out there is a 10 mm bolt in the back that should hold it in. He works at bestbuy an he had to take one out to put a double din deck in .. i think thats what he said. well if you can get it out. let me know what you want for it..
I appreciate it.. i hate the aftermarket plate that they make for the protege with the cd holder in it.. lame..
Thanks

First, check out my recent thread on removing the head unit:
http://forum.protegemp3.com/vbb225/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8586
From messing with it this weekend, it looks like the storage compartment is held in by some screws underneath the center console face. The center console face "snaps" off (carefully pry it off with a small screwdriver around the edges) but the trick is unhooking the connectors for the hazards and climate control since it's hard to get your hand back there (I decided not to go that route and snapped it back on).
Here's also a page for better illustrations on removing it from a P5:

To remove the pocket you have to snap off the silver bezzle. The bezzle won't come off more then about an inch becuse the A/C cables are perminently attached, well not realy But I wouldn't advise F-ing with them unless you know what your doing. Then undo the 2 screws securing a metal bar between the radio and pocket. The. pocket itself is not held in by any boltsw or screw just a realy good snap fitting in the back. You have to pull like hell. The best thing ti do is remoe the radio first so its weight isn't on the pocket. If its the 919 you'll need the specialy sized bolts to get it out. Once agian you have to pull like hell.

It has two lil clips on the sides. it just pops out but be careful not to scratch your dash use a cloth and you should be able to pop it out with a thin flathead screwdriver.
