Ello! ive just bought a kenwood screen from a member on here. It was fairly cheap so thought id give it a go. Gutted that a better one sold on ebay for cheaper than what i paid!
Ill be mounting the normal head unit in the lower centre section as that is the easiest place for it and the flip screen will be in the normal radio place.
1. How can I power them both?
Can I plug the loom into flip screen and then splice a power and ground from that and into the loom of the lower head unit?
2. How can I run both through the speakers?
After talking to Niall im pretty sure I cant just splice two looms together as two sources will mess everything up. So my current theory is to connect the pre out of the lower head unit into on of the AV INs on the back of the screen? Then I should be able to play it through the other head unit but adjust the volume on both?
Cheers for anyone who can help! I cant see why the above wouldnt work but i wanted to get some opinions and advice. Of course the real way to do it would just to buy a proper flip screen head unit but they are about £300+ so for less than half of that I thought id give this a go!
Plan is to have a reversing camera fitted too as I cant park the estate
and to put in a games console. I did this before but the screen I was using broke before I ever finished
Old pics!
