J Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 BWHAHAHAHA sorry dude, good luck with that, mine was over $800 and that was a hell of a deal. I'll sell ya mine for $700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 ebay probably your best bet. What do you mean buy in dash flip out screen? Like replacing your H/U...or an external monitor style thing?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rshissler Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 the ones that replace the HU. sorry i was tired and cant remember the real name of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Yeah I haven't seen ANY for cheap at all... I've though about the idea too, but I think I'll stick to my trusty Kenwood MP3 deck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I doubt you'll find one on ebay even that cheap - unless it's broken that is. Those H/Us are expensive here...I personally would't cheap out on one either....get the best quality LCD possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 i'd go with a an overhead fold down from a van or something... i've been looking into getting one for my vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rshissler Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 in my sunfire with a sun roof? There just isn't enough room to make it fit there and i've seen it done but only the back seat can see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianhasadd Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I used to have a Kenwood in-dash flip-out tv/dvd player in my Malibu. It was pretty nice while I had it. I'm prolly not going to get one for the GP (yeah right...that will prolly change). I was thinking about doing a flip-down tv from the ceiling like in between the sunroof and my rear-view mirror, anybody think it would fit???

GnatGoSplat Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I've seen cheapies on Ebay, but I doubt they work very well. I think they're ugly, personally. I'd rather get a 2-DIN fixed screen and modify the car to fit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianhasadd Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I agree with you there Gnat. A guy I work with has a Honda Civic and his is a Double-Din opening. He doesn't have a TV in it but I think it would look so clean if all you saw was a screen. I'd like to do that to my car...eventually....just not sure how to do all the modifications.

rshissler Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 i want one so that i can get this program my buddy got for his that u can veiw gauges and real time specs for your car on it. i would fiber glass a screen in there but then i woulde have to buy a new HU and move it to where my HVAC controls are and move then else where. Alot of work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 A program? Flip out screens don't run programs, you sure he doesn't have a custom Car PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rshissler Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 he has a flip out dvd/cd/mp3/everything player that has a port for a car pc type thinger that runs programs through the screen. Fast and the Faggest shit right there but i think its better then runnin a piler pod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianhasadd Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 I've heard of those. Pioneer has one that does all of that stuff. It tells you your speed, how much fuel you have, engine RPM's and a whole lot of other stuff about your engine. It's a pretty sweet set-up but I think it will prolly clean a wallet out for it.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rshissler Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 hes willin to let me use the software if i get the pc type thinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92LuminaRS Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Get sunvisor TFT's, Their SO much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 There were a few 1.5 din naviagtion/DVD screens made in the mid-late 90's.... IIRC they were in dodge/chryster/jeep. I saw them on ebay before. I'm not sure what it would take to get one to work, though. Personally, i think those flip-out screens are incredibly tacky. But for people with an older GP and the DIC, i bet you could remove the DIC, add a smaller LCD screen hooked up to dvd/navigation/whatever you want, and have it took totally stock. I wanted to do that as a rear-center console idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Powered Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I got one for $ 800 like 3-4 years ago (used) and suprised to see they havent come down since then. I wish it had a dvd player in it but I had to buy that seperate. It has auto light dimmer which is cool. next I am putting a steering wheel screen in place of the stock button pad. and rear view camera. 8) Hey, check out parts express if you want to hook up with the GOOD deals on screens!

ihateallmustangs Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 A cheap alternative is to use the sony playstation 1 screen that came out awile back. My buddy used one to put a DVD player in his fiero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 What in the world would a screen on the steering wheel be good for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 What in the world would a screen on the steering wheel be good for? IMO nothing...I don't see what is so great about the rear cameras either....if you need a camera to back up you shouldn't be driving....but that's just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rshissler Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 well if u have a big ass SUV then i can see why the camera would help you. Or if u have a truck with a topper on it then u wont back into other ppls cars (i got backed into today by a guy with one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Get sunvisor TFT's, Their SO much better! I can't stand sunvisor screens....I would consider an indash flip out screen or even removed the DIC in favor or a screen there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlsp Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 even removed the DIC in favor or a screen there.... :shock: i'm not even touching that....... Anyways its illegal to have a video screen in the driver's vision range while the vehicle is moving..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
