Double DIN DVD in-dash players

[fat45s]

If any one has installed one, can you please post pics?

im in the process of deciding whether to go single din head unit or a double din dvd player. i just wanna see how good they look before i decide which road to take. i need to figure out before the end of the week as my partner will be purchasing it for me. :thumbsup:

also, what does everyone else think?

any help would be most appreciated.

I have a double-DIN Pioneer unit, it's very nice, personally I do not like the single DIN units, they just don't integrate with the dash when the screen is out (but I guess exposed screens might be a thief magnet?)

Anyway take a look in my garage or the cardomain link in my signature and you'll see a few pics.

[fat45s]

thats one of the head units that i had in mind.
it is between that one and the JVC double din.

I like the JVC one coz its silver aswell and it would match the colour of my dash.
but i like the Pioneer one coz its 6 stacker in dash and has a touch screen.

ahhh decisions decisions. :help:

[eTiMaGo]

I'm not sure about the JVC but the pioneer also has a lot of optional add-ons... bluetooth adapter, ipod adapter, backup camera, vehicle dynamics processor, multi-channel decoder, and so on, and they all integrate quite well with the HU's interface

[paultyler_82]

not to mention, my personal favorite, the AVH-P6800DVD is also a 6-disc in-dash CD/MP3CD/DVD changer, and it can be integrated with all the addons including Bluetooth... and while it doesn't offer Nav onboard, you can always get it if you must have it, by adding on the old AVIC-88DVD

[mscianna]

I just bought the single Din Boss Multimedia Player from Sonic Electronics online....cant wait to get it installed....Your double Din does look good....The BV6850T at sonicelectronix.com even comes with a TV tuner....

[fat45s]

final decision will be made by my partner. Ive already hinted to her that id like the pioneer one :laugh: but she'll go in this weekend and finally pick one out.

She also found out that one of her old friends works for the store where shes getting it. "not allowed to say where" she says. coz its supposed to be my xmas present. so shes got the hook ups. isnt she the best :wub:

well, anyways, ill post up pics of what she gets me.

thanks guys and girls for the feed back. youve swayed me toward the pioneer one.

and mscianna, my brother has a head unit that looks kinda like the one your gettin but its the JVC version. very clean unit. plus it comes with a detachable face which is really good. hope you have fun with it when you install it.

[spkrman]

double din is definitely superior!!

[dngz]

anybody know of a good double din with cd/mp3cd/dvd/divx/bluetooth for a good price?? dont need navigational, i can always google it up before i need to find a place anyways..

[fat45s]

eTiMaGo - does the pioneer unit come with a remote control? i forgot to ask about it.

dngz - when i went to look at double din units myself, i found that the best one (from my own personal perspective) is the pioneer one. the alpine double din unit is also great. but really its up to you. although you may have to find ones that plays divx's coz i know that the pioneer one has cd/mp3cd/bluetooth/dvd and other great options are eTiMaGo said but not too sure on divx.
hopefully you find one you like and good luck.

Yup, remote control included, though i'd prefer some kind of steering wheel control system myself :tongue:

[jimcat]

I removed the original NAVI mon and installed a cheap cheap DVD player on it
Unfortuneally, there are so some button for NAVI mon stayed
now the button are useless and looking bad :thumbdown:

[ChinoCharles]

TAKE OUT A LOAN

If you're a show-off and like a brand name, the Alpine IVA-W200 is the way to go. It is moderately priced and features a double-din in dash monitor that is fully motorized and turns itself around when you turn the car off. If you're just concerned about function and you don't get your monitor from MP3car.com, you're insane. They are anywhere from 40-75% cheaper than similar brand name units.

This is of course just a taste of all the options out there.

[fat45s]

jimcat - i love the look of your DVD headunit. you painted the centre console didnt you?

vodkalush - sames here. thats why im getting one. the love just grew and grew after i saw eTiMaGo's setup.

thanks for all the pictures and help everyone. made the choice of double din or single even easier for me. :thumbsup:

[hasher22]

BUY MINE
Please note its not worth the RRP

[paultyler_82]

Pioneer also has the AVIC-D2, the AVIC-Z1, and the AVH-P6800DVD.... for those who don't need a DVD touchscreen but would still like a 2DIN unit from Pioneer, there's the FH-P4200MP, and the FH-P5000MP .... just wish the US got some of the other FH models like the P4100R, P6200R, or the P710MD

I have that HU & mine doesn't do that. Maybe because I'm not a show off. :wink:

It's not a bad unit, but I'm not all that impressed with the information it displays/format it displays it in for XM sattelite and iPod. Pretty poor use of screen real estate IMHO. But it does get the job done.

[boris13]

Of all the units discussed so far, is the Pioneer AVH-P6800DVD the only one with a 6-disc changer included?

[paultyler_82]

Yes... in fact, it's the only unit I know of on the aftermarket that is an in-dash 6 disc changer

[boris13]

Hmmm, I guess I need to save up for that one, then. It's quite pricey. :eek:

yeah... 1199 on crutchfield last time I checked, it'll definately put a dent in the wallet.

Mine is. There's a slot behind the screen under the CD player for SD cards. I have a handfull with all of my CDs on them.

Its a JVC KW-AVX800. I also have it hooked up to an XM tuner and a bluetooth so I can talk on the phone over it.

[TinyGiant]

yeah mine has an SD slot behind the screen too

how much did you pay??

[TinyGiant]

mine was 259 shipped :)

[bikegerm]

I've got a JVC KW-AVX810 Head Unit. It like Violin's, has an SD slot behind the face and mine has USB control over my Ipod touch. It shows all of the ID3 tag info and I can access all my playlists and control the Ipod from my touch screen. Has a bunch of other bells and whistles that I will be soon adding. That's Spiderman on the screen. This unit rocks !!

[battleversiontc]

[MR. CANTON]

double din dvd is very sweet BUT for safety purposes i used the single din dvd in order to detach the face when parked in unsafe places.
I rather they take see the deck without the face and leave it than try to get it all with the double din

[wsladaritz]

I've got the Pioneer avh-p4000, only had it a few weeks. Love it so far. Someone mentioned getting it from crutchfield... It's alot cheaper from Amazon.com ( where I got mine ) But then you'll have to get the ipod adapter ( $8 ) and the dash kit to fill the gaps on the sides ( not sure about that price ) had one from my previous install. But still saved about $150 gettin from amazon.

[MR. CANTON]

i used the single din ,, but the spot for the 2nd din i place teh center channel speakers to fill the pocket space

[jinxor]

canton, doesnt that setup make it harder to read the speedo???

[earljail]

canton, doesnt that setup make it harder to read the speedo???

I have a similar setup in my hatch, with a Panasonic single din DVD and an Alpine single DIN speaker. I find it doesn't interfere with the speedo reading, and I'm only 5'8".

Of course, you don't need the screen out while driving, unless you have Nav.(I don't)

[puetato89]

that wouldnt work for me... im 5'5"

[MR. CANTON]

actually it only blocks 0 - 40 which i dont really care to look at because i dont even pay attention to the speed,, once i see after 120km/h im good
otherwise i keep it closed

[Chubbster]

I have a 2008 yaris sedan and it has the intergrated radio. I want to install a double din aftermarket radio, but I can't find anyone that sells double din dash kits for the 2008 yaris sedan. Does anyone know where I can get this?

The factory radio that I have now looks like this.

[toupy]

^^ i got that too, but i really want a in dash player D: ! does anybody know much it cost to get the other type w/o the upgraded mp3 player.

[pariahdecss]

There is another live thread on this but what kills me is the butt ugly Metra dash kit to fill the 10mm gap on each side of the unit. I wish there was an easy source for the 180mm bezel from Toyo (or other) I am looking at the Kenwood DNX 7120 or 8120 for my 09 LB - but damn I hate that gap

[06yaris06]

i purchased a pioneer double-din in-dash and havent looked back since.. i love it :D

[wsladaritz]

That's the one I have!

[Littlefoot]

Check this thread out. I started this a few weeks ago and it has some pics. Hope it helps.
