I want to say that I have searched this website and others and can not find out if this will fit my car. The model that I am looking at is this one, http://reviews.cnet.com/car-video/je...-32400164.html My friend installed the same one on his bonneville and he said that he had to cut some plastic to make it fit, will I have to or will it just slide in? And does anyone have any advice on installing it?

 

that will fit your car all you need is the installation kit, thought i wouldnt waste my money on a cheap product like that. if you wanna get an in-dash go with something like clarion at the cheaper side but for good quality video play and screen resolution your better off with kenwood or alpine. though those run you over 1400 bucks that jensen is almost 1/3 the price but then you gotta think back to that old saying "you get what you pay for"

 

Get what you pay for, it'll fit, but I'd get a pioneer or an alpine.

 

Ya I am a firm believer in that saying but from the reviews I have read, and seeing it in person, I don't think the quality is much less.

 

i only had mine for about 2 months before it was stolen. get an eclipse. i think they replace it for free if it is stolen. you also have to put a specific cd in it to turn it on if the power has been disconnected. mine was nice while it lasted though. the only thing with the flip up is you have to move it to adjust the temp controlls.

 

it just slides in no cuts only if its a doubled in

Thanks for the advice, and if I do decide to get a flip-up, can I keep the factory fitting with the door just below the factory deck or will I have to buy a new fitting?

 

You can modify it to fit, I would def try to mount the bottom bracket with the screws if i was you

 

Are you talking about the last two screws that you have to take off for the CD player to come out, because I seriously can't get those out.

 

Yes, that mount

 

flip up is old and busted. double din is the new hawtness. pioneer, alpine, or eclipse FTW

 

flip outs are great, but id go with a 2DIN flat monitor, the good thing is that they also run you less on the unit itself... AND you dont have to deal with hiding a big brain box in the confines of our cars' small spaces

id recommend Alpine for that, the IVA-W205, easily upgraded to Sat nav when you want to with Blackbird2..... and its still portable so you just pop the blackbird out and take it on the go, like a hike or something. pieced together on eBay and cheaper online retailers you can put this all together for something like 11-1200, while full retail at licensed dealers will run towards 1700 + applicable taxes

 

that's the reason why I'm going to fiberglass mold a custom 7 inch touch screen w/ integrated carpc into my console. I'm sick of having headunits stolen from my previous cars. If they want to steal the screen....it's going to take them awhile to take out the entire center console (motherboard will also be mounted behind the screen)...but if a thief really wants something...they're going to get it...regardless

 

are you doing fiberglass just to be custom? cuz it'll fit into the dash w/o that. At least thats what my boy @ bestbuy told me since he's gonna install mine

 

They will fit no prob, he's doing it I think to secure it and make it part of the console

 

^^ yep, exactamundo

I love the fact that the lilliput 7 inch widescreens are a perfect fit for the double din openings, but the whole point of me fiberglassing is to deter theft. It's just wayyyyy to easy for them to steal it without it. Please it gives it a more custom, unified feel imo

 

I knew what you were doing, because I will be doing the same, one day when I can afford a nice double din Gonna fg the trunk first anyway

 

^^ balllinnnnn hahah

 

Like everyone is saying.. double-din is in.. My friend had a similar jensen in his car like 2 years ago.. Had it for a week, sold it and got an alpine.. Chicks love the DD.. (speaking from experience)




I have a question though.. I know it's off topic and I will search but, can we (1st jeners) have roof monitors even though we have a moon roof?

 

Like we always say, anything can fit with money, but roof screens are stupid in a 2 door car, so are headrest monitors
