ive always wanted a flip screen dvd instead of a cd player has anyone got one in there 200 series disco. cause i rekon it wont work in the place of the normal postion. would have one is it possible?

No Chance

Sony CD850XM I have in mine is a bit longer than a standard radio and its tight, esp with all the connections on the back. I looked at it and also spotted that none of them would put the screen at a suitable angle.

Might be better off with a stand alone screen someplace.

you could put a 42"plasma in the pasenger side of the windscreen.
thats better than any 7" jobbie.

I think you could probably only get away with a 21" due the MOT man saying you had an obstruction in the drivers field of view  :lol:  :lol:

Stevo, why not get a load of 7" screens and put them on the roof lining to form what looks like a massive scrren that pans over the whole roof lining, of course you'd need better reclining seats for comfort  :lol:  :lol:

something like this:

Make a storage space above the sunvisors, I'm planning on doing this and moving my stereo up there, the cb can then live in the ols head unit position.

[andyhubbard]

Can confirm it's a NO as i tried mine yesterday and ended up buying another stereo.

[Ja1983]

give me £100 and you can have 2x 8" widescreen sunvisor screens, and the DVD player that goes with em... not a straight swap, as they are the "universal variety" but shouldnt think there would be much hassle in making them work  

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

someone had an idea to change the facts, one answer i surpose

[Kentish man]

Nice gearstick!

[hobbit]

How does he access his heater controls though?

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

according to the bloke how owns the truck, its set to heat all around the truck on one switch . that gearstick yeah maybe not

[Cheggs]

Moved my head unit to above the sun visor. Works great. :D

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

sounds a good postion any pics or mounting bits where from?

[defuzz]

i've been thinking about htis a bit myself recently.  I'm a geek so I'd like to fit a PC in the beast with a TFT screen on the dash,  my best idea was to mount a second instrument binacle on the dash, with a bit of body filler between the two to make it one long binnacle, I recon it could work....

dodgy 5 minute photoshop mockup:



it would also give some space for extra switches too!!

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

seen double dash fitted before on that 93 white bobtail shorten by 17 inchs on 34s with the 5.2 v8 and orange front bumper in lrm about 4 yrs ago . looked good to me

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

[winx]

my work in progress is:


Still a lot of refining to do and also trim it in beige to match the rest of the interior

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

[winx]

for now a mixture of mdf and fibreglass frame trimmed in black vinyl, with the face plate ebing abs plastic.  Once I finalise it will be made completely from fibreglass and a carbon fibre face plate with etched labels.
