ScreenZ

[*J*]

ok, I want a screen in my ride. I don't know SHIT about audio...so someone fill me in on any info. I have an Alpine CDA-7893 headunit...does that matter? Can I buy a seperate screen and it work with that? What are good screens...what all will I need? Thanks!:blue:

[akaPsyco™]

give me a call and we will talk about it...


as far as the basics go...screen (alpine is good or kenwood) ...fm modulator (to play sound through your system) video source (dvd vcp ps2)...after that you could do something like a TV tuner or multiple screens/sources...

[koncept1]

if you already got that headunit just buy the Alpine TME-M790 (fully motorized 7" screen) goes for about $1,100

Do you want an in-dash screen like Alpine or Kenwood or just a screen mounted somewhere?

May sound stupid...but whats the differance? one folds out and one just stays there all the time?

[infamous_ikon]

i think hes talking about like a screen like lets say a 5.6 moblie tv where u can mount it on the car like your dash (100-150 screen only)
or do u want 2 spend the money on a motorized one like the alpline
thans the difference he talking about

[akaPsyco™]

in dash screen flips out from your dash and replaces your radio...(has a built in radio)

screen by itself you can mount anywheres...just have to make it look good in do'n so...like flush mount'n it in the dash or something...


drop down screen...I wouldn't go with this kind in your car...not for the front anywayz...

that looks good...didnt know that glove box was big enough 2 hold the ps2

1. Alpine
2. Icon TV
3. Eclipse
4. Kenwood
4. Pioneer
5. Panasonic

In that order.. if you are going for and indash w/ image quality.. Alpine just came out with a new model that has more pixels than any screen out rite now.. the Icon TV would be the next.. not alot of people know bout them i dont think but they are SHARP..

Even though i put the panasonic as last, i liked the Panasonic the most cuz it had that all in one that did everything.. DVD/ MP3/ VCD/5.1/etc... EVERYTHING!! Tweeter has them on clearance cuz they dropped Panasonic.. The eclipse also came out with an all in one like panasonic but havent got to mess with them.. The kenwood is a touchscreen so thats a plus..

If you get an indash, then you may wanna find which one has the least problems, since they are mostly motorized.. ive seen some of the alpines motors having problems...

Best bet is to get one like the kenwood if i remember rite.. i think it is partially motorized.. cant explain it well.. but it seemed to have less problems.. i dunno if i would want a flipdown in your car or even a dash mount.. and you only got a single DIN there.. unless you decide you wanna do some modifying..
