DVD Head Unit For TSX
I've seen some posts a while back with pics shown those who have put DVD headunits in their TSXs. Got a few questions:
1. What is the best h/u to put in the storage area under the a/c controls (I have a 04 non navi)? I've seen mostly the Alpine iv310, but I was wondering about others like Pioneer, Eclipse, Kenwood, etc. It has to be a touch screen though.
2. I want a clean look. Is the best way to do that to get the faceplate from the oem mp3 player? Or is there other options?
3. Is there a way to maintain some use of the steering wheel controls (volume and/or track selection)? If so, what would I need?
4. For those of you who have 6mt,.. will the screen get in the way?
5. Is there any other options, like replacing/removing the head unit?
6. What would the various install options costs?
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Anyway, I just made a CarDomain site. You can check out my setup there. Audio is mostly on Page2.

Yah, that's the setup I seen from a while back... NICE!!!
I was thinking about doing a similar setup. How is the placement though.... is it too low? My bro has an RSX-S (Alpine IV310) and his is up higher (completely replaced his H/U)? Also, did you use the OEM mp3 face plate? Looks like you just modified the bin cover (I think I saw the tab you push on in one of the pics)
I was looking at the newest Eclipse model out with navi. Think it's one of the few that works in Hawaii too. But is over $2500 here, dunno if it's worth it... but it is nice.
Hey, are you still able to use some or all of the steering wheel controls? It's not really a deal breaker, but having the volume would be nice.
Thanks for all your help...
