I just installed a dvd onto the factory nav of my friends 04




installed the dvd in the armrest

 

pics aren't coming up.. give us a link and maybe someone will host them

 

first pic shows just not the other two

 

I see 3. Looks good.

 

how did you do it??

 

no pics showing here

 

Pics showing up now.. every time I refresh I get a different pic...

The video looks good, but the install looks a bit sloppy I want to put my dvd player inside the arm rest also.. but I hope it looks a lot better. Nice job though.

 

I can only get the first one up. If you can get the last two how about hosting them somewhere else for us.

 

best I could do .. i kept hitting refresh.. took 10 minutes just to get these two.

 

 

The DVD player install looks real sloppy, but keep it closed and it doesn't matter.

You can all thank me later:

 

nice .. the 3rd one just showed up as i entered this page.. kinda funny like that.

 

How much was it total...and which brand did you use....Any specific website???

 

I like the idea.. How did you do the hookup.. what connections did you need to make for this to work? what is the size of the dvd player and brand..

Details on this would be awesome

 

only 1 post, doesn;t look like he is coming back

 

I will put a post on mine when I get some pics. I just installed the avelectronics "brain" thing along with a dvd/mp3/cd player. .. Next will be the headrests and backup cam.

 

Yeah dude, I want to see pics of that install.

 

I didn't get a response email notification

I don't know why the pictures don't show up for everyone, it shows up fine for me. It must be something with imagestation.

I would like to have done a trim for the dvd . In order to do that, the face of the armrest need to be cut and resewn with a new face. My friend didn't mind since the dvd plays at any angle; it plays with the armrest closed.

The dvd player is a generic din sized one from Microvision. I used the converter from Converters.tv for video. For audio, I used a relay and interrrupted the XM signal.

As for cost, it was for a friend so I charged him for the cost of parts and and a little of labor. That equalled $400

 

Oh well, all my pics aren't showing now for me either.

 

The pictures work. The install looks very nice.. But i just find it awkward (sp) having the DVD Player right in the rear arm rest

 

Which converter did you get from converters.tv? I like the rear armrest DVD install. Easy to switch DVDs from both the front and back seat!

 

I used model 43 and put it a project box with a switching relay

 

There is no where else to put it. The glove box is too small.. the only other place really is under the seats.

 

What is that?

 

How much is the install guys ? For the Avelectronic DVD switcher, does the front part of the entire dvd, and audio system MUST come out, like in the pics posted by EggrollExpress if anyone remembers. Is that the only way to go about installing the dvd switcher.

 

That is the model # of the converter I used.

 

I dont know about the Ave unit but the front part does not need to be removed for the conversion. Everything you need is in the right rear corner. You will need to run the ir/switching wires to the front. The unit will fit behind the panel, why that guy put it on the outside is a beyond me.

 

Explain? I am not sure what you mean about does the audio system and front part of the entire dvd must come out? Check out my thread, I am not sure if you're talking about them having to be visible, if so, the avelectronics unit does not have to be visible.
