i was thinking about putting a DVD player (indash style) in the accessory compartment under the navi. this space will need to be modified. it needs to be cut but i don't know that if after i cut it, would it still be deep enough. i'm looking for a spot 7 1/2 wide, 2 1/2 high and about 10-11 inch deep.

other spots i could but the DVD player would be under the front seat or under the back deck. but i wanted something convienent.

 

I would like to persue the same type of install... I am looking for anyone who has accomplished installing a DIN unit while retaining the door. I think the dash loses its "lines" without the door in place. There must be a way to do it.

 

i am trying to figure out the same thing!

also, power.......get it from the cig lighter?

 

I thought about it but I desided not too. But for power just hook it directly to the fuse box by the drivers door.

 

how about in the arm rest... im not sure if it will fit, but i think i saw a car on this website with it done already...

Here is the picture I found on cardoman.com

 

I have a DVD player installed in my TSX and I recomend getting the install kit for the factory Tape/MP3 player. You lose the pocket, but it matches the interior perfect.

I also tried the center glove box method, but most car dvd players do not like being mounted vertically. They will play for a while, but you will notice over time that loading takes longer and it becomes more sensitive to road bumps.

 

i puchased a Pyle DVD player. it was cheap ($90) but it is only 6.25 inches wide x 2 inches high and 6.5 inches deep (without wires). you can almost fit under the nav without removing the door. it will take some modification.

i just need a way to hook up the dvd out to the stock nav without buyint the $500 tuner. i saw e_lectro's post on the converter for $125, but i don't know where to splice it.
