Has anyone put a dvd player and screen in their rx300... if so.... how did you do it? and do you have any pictures of it ?

i've got a screen for the backseat passengers and i'm in the process of putting in my ps2 in there as well...no pics till it's done, tho...sorry

Hi There:<br><br> Yes, I have done this half by myself and got scared and ran to a Audio shop to finish the rest, but, got familiar with whole process after looking at what they have done. I got a Audiovox system from rearseatvideo.com. Removed the dome light, installed the flip down and then got confused how to run the wires. Audio shop people took 100$ and finished that work. My part took about 8 hours on looking at what to do, getting some material, etc. <br><br> It's too close to look at from back seat even for kids, though. <br><br> I got a Odyssey lately and installed the whole system again fully myself this time.<br><br> It takes some time as we don't do this every day, but, once we see it or do it, it sounds simple.<br><br> I'll try to get some pictures and post them later<br><br>RG

For future reference, Clarion now makes a center console that replaces the stock console and can hold a 6.4" monitor. The new console contains the air vents, just like the OEM version.<br><br>At www.crutchfield.com, the console/housing unit is only $49.95. The monitor that this unit is designed for (VMA6491) sells for $450 although you can get them cheaper elsewhere on the net. <br><br>This would solve your problem of being too close for the backseat...

As for DVD players, it depends on what you want out of the system. For a basic (small) dvd player that the kids (o.k. who am I kidding) can plug earphones into, Blaupunkt makes a mini DVD/CD/MP3 player that could easily be stashed under a seat or anywhere you want (it's only 6 5/8" wide). It retails for $450 but again, you can find it for much cheaper on the net (like EBAY).<br><br>I haven't used any of these products, but I have been looking into installing this system. With internet prices, I believe it can be done for between $500 to $750, depending on what kind of pricing you get.<br><br>I hope this helps...<br><br><br><a href=http://www.blaupunktusa.com/ target=new>http://www.blaupunktusa.com/</a>

Last thing, I have started a new album with some pictures of the items I mentioned earlier. The console option is particularly needed if you have a sunroof...
