i was think of putting a dvd player with 2 tv's in my x but i don't know how it looks and if u think it is worth it. i would like to see some pic to see how it looks

Check into getting a portable DVD player first. They can be had for $225 on e-bay (brand new pioneer , I forgot the model) and get some 4" or 5" screens that can be found for $100 or less same in the same place.

Their, not there

Buwahahahaha!!! Brent made a funny!

Get a good laptop with a 15" screen! Only a couple hundred more dollars than a DVD player! Gonna sell my Gateway 9300 PIII 600 next week!

Make sure you mount the screen above the steering wheel so you viewing time won't be distracted by driving. :p

I have checked that out. It's Pioneer PDV-20 Portable DVD Player. Looks good!

i already bought a mobile authority 5.6"lcd w/tv tuner about 3 mo. ago. haven't had time to install. it looks complicated for me and plus, i need a better alarm. my wife needs to be kept entertained, so that's why i got it.

Why 2 screens? Who will be watching them? I have a TV/VCR combo in the back but so far I only use it to record the X-cam. I dont use it to watch TV but i can see it perfectly in the rearview mirror when i hit the dimmer switch.

n2, is that yours?

SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!

Yes it is, thanks!

that shit is sweet I was think of doing the same thing you did plus it looks like we have the same radio. do u have any bass speaker in there? i plan to do that soon like by the end of this year i hope!!!

Hey n2, is that a DVD/TV all in one, plus the separate CD player? Sweet setup, I'd like to know more.
Thanks.

How durable are those type of setups for hardcore 4 wheelin' abuse and washboard roads etc. I've always wanted to do a setup for my girls but am worried about dust / vibration damage to the components.

One of the AZXC members has converted a center console unit from the Quest minivan and installed it in his Xterra. The monitor / vcr combo is nice, but I don't like the way the armrest gets moved and basically is non-functional.

So if anyone can give me some feedback, I'd appreciate it. I really like beating on my truck on the weekends, but the kids would be more content watching a movie on the drives to and from.

Nice N2!

Components are:
Pioneer AVX-P7000CD (Flip-out screen with single cd)
Pioneer AVM-P8000R brain (control unit with A/V inputs)
Pioneer CDX-P656 6disc changer
Pioneer AVIC-505 navigation system.
Pioneer KEH-P690 that is just used as a tape deck (for my books on tape for the drive to/from work).
The system is controlled by the 7000CD, this is the reason it is on the bottom. The 8000 has a video input and I can plug in my PDV LC-20 portable DVD player for movies.

In the next month the additions will be:
Crossfire P1c6 components
Crossfire BMFW12D 12" woofer
Crossfire VR705D, 5 channel amplifier
I plan to change the KEH-P690 to the KEH-P601 XM ready radio.

I can post some pics of how I did the radio Bezel if you guys want.

yeah show us some pic i would like to know how ever thing comes out i plan to do this on my x before the end of this year

I did this weekend, but ten again, I was helping my friend move. Once we got to his new place, we took it out, hooked it up, watched some football, and drank some brews. So, I guess I DID have a TV in my X...at one time, for a short time.

Do you guys think that if I do put a TV in the dash then went with a regular CD/Tape setup and then hooked up a PS2(to utilize the DVD feature as well), would that be a good setup? Or should I go with the regular TV/DVD/CD setups?

Thanks in advance for any input!

Are you looking for a permant setup or something you can put in the truck every now and then for road trips? Having a PS2 in the truck sounds like fun but I'm not sure how duragble the PS2 is when exposed to constant vibrations. You could end up prematurely wearing out your PS2. Personally, I would go for a setup similar to XXXTERRA and n2.

Smart thinking lil-pino. But if there is a way for the PS2 to be safe from vibrations then I wouldn't have to get a DVD or CD player since it will do both. But it would have to be close enough for me to reach to change the CD at a red light. It might be more trouble but it would be a 3 in 1 setup. This is definately gonna take some thought. :rolleyes: I would for sure go with a double din setup because i don't like the look of leaving one empty.

Here's a picture of my friend's setup. He has the Alpine CVA-1005 and cd/dvd unit that you can barely see at the bottom of the picture. If I had the extra cash, that's the set up I would go with.

I don't know, a PS2 is going to be very difficult to install.. You can't park it under the seat, even if it fits(which I doubt), the fan would have a difficult time getting it cool enough. Mounting it on the passenger side of the main dash console is a thought, but it might be too big..

Might wanna look at something more compact..
