P5 in-dash monitor

[PR54LIFE]

I'm thinkng about swapping the stereo for a monitor. Anyone got any advise as far as installation or recommended manufacturers for a clean fit?

 

[changedman]

[PR54LIFE]

Just one screen that fits flush inplace of the stock radio

 

[changedman]

[Mr. Win]

Do a search, I made a thread kinda describing how I molded my VGA screen into the dash.

 

[Mr. Win]

http://www.protegegarage.com under project protege has some very nice options for molded ones.

Thanks guys, the reason I was inquiring was because I'm going to the Texas Heat Wave today and they usually have a lot of vendors that give good deals on screens.

onyl listed thats a double din.

 

[Mr. Win]

thats the one that i was thinking about. i dunno its priced so that you might as well buy pioneers new unit which i think i mgiht purchase

 

[got wake?]

seriously, for the money and standard features, the rockford fosgate RAVDVD2 is a great unit. it's single din, but it has a built in TV tuner, dolby digital and DTS surround sound, and a 5 channel internal amp. for the internal amp, i'd only use the center output, if you have a center channel, and don't use any of the others, since they are low power.

Man that kenwood is sick, but so is the price. I was trying to find some of its security features, but didn't see any.

Sounds like a dumb gimmick to me (dunno)

 

[p5sundevil]

Its for show so therefor personal taste, not mine either but if it floats yer boat....

=)

 

[yanyan]

well its not really a gimmick, you can FEEL the screen push back at ur finger, so you dont have to look down when drivin to push the screen, cuz some touchscreens are really bad, thats all its for.

i have it, you have the kenwood security PIN. once you set that, it can't be changed, and if the unit is ever removed disconnected from the battery, you can't access any functions until the code is entered. there is a random override code for each unit that differs, but the only way to get that is to definitively give kenwood proof of ownership and then can give you a code to unlock it, and you usually need to contact where you bought it and confirm your info with them as well. i used to work for a kenwood dealer, their security is awesome on their units.
