Two Head units

[cully]

this weekend i managed to get hold of a 7" touch screen dvd mp3 player for the car,
ive been wanting one of these for a while now as my JVC head unit has a crap menu system for browsing Lots of MP3's

now i have a nice easy touch screen menu system

the lower head unit power comes from the same supply as the top piggy backed off of the iso plug
the lower output is fed via low level into the line in of the top head unit

   

   

[Eeyore]

good stuff. I thought of doing this to mine. Your clock is still yellow! D:

[bowers]

The hole you've put the touch screen in, did you have to cut it or anything to get it to fit?

[1616six]

Exactly what I did in my old Astra.

Tempted to do the same with the 306 but I never used the DVD HU after the novelty wore off

[cully]

The hole you've put the touch screen in, did you have to cut it or anything to get it to fit?

yes i had to cut out the original pocket and enlarge the hole to fit the head unit,and also had to remove the duct work piping for the side air vents near your knees

[bowers]

Wish you'd done a guide really wanna do this!

[puglove]

Cully you do know how to make somthing easy into somthing rather complex

Good work tho, loving the idea

[samass]

yeah paul, wish youd done a guide, i want to relocate my HU, and i cant be bothered to think for myself!!

did the cage just clip in alright once you'd opened the orifice? (giggity)

[gumball3000]

Pretty cool.. Good job i cant do this in a phase1 otherwise i would be cutting things by now lol

[cully]

yes the cage did clip in once the hole was big enough but i had to support the head unit as it is suspended just by the cage
i used two bits of pipe lagging on the tunnel to support the head unit from below

i cut the hole out with a dremel and used a sanding drum to enlarge the hole till it was big enough for the cage

[samass]

Ahhh cool. Yeah figured there'd have to be some of rear support. Just need a spare console to butcher

[bowers]

Can't think for myself. No need be a pea-narse! I have no idea bout cars or electrics so need every bit of help I can get when doing something.

Ahhh cool. Yeah figured there'd have to be some of rear support. Just need a spare console to butcher

ive got one you can have. And dont really need a guide do you? its not exactly difficult you twat!

[bowers]

Mate I wouldn't have a clue how to wire up a stereo in that hole. I'm a complete newby so ye I would!
And why am I a twat?!

[Niall]

no i was talking to samass lol. I know he knows these things. hes just lazy.

if you like i can write up a guide at some point but obviously it wont have any photos

[bowers]

I thought samass was takin the piss out of me cuz I wanted a guide.
That would be brilliant
Now to try get hold of a cheapish touch screen DVD player

[Niall]

time to get paint on the go then!

[samass]

Haha nope, I am.just bone idle!
Sweet, grab it off you tomorrow sweet cheeks?

[Niall]

yeah no worries darling
