Anyone interesting in buying an Overhead TV & DVD?

Man that is a shame after spending all of the kind of money, I hate to see you lose what you've got in it.

i'm sure it will come in handy in another vehicle once i get a new one but for now i know its a great deal. if i had the money i would invest in getting ones put into the headrest but it would be really hard in this because the headrest is soo small.

Are you talking about the Aurora? You can install headrest TV monitors in the Classic Aurora and 2nd Gen Aurora's.
I have seen Classic Aurora's with headrest TV's, you gotta go with 7 inch widescreen monitors,
something like Alpine's or Kenwood's models, or a Pionner 8 inch widescreen monitor should fit nicely.

Here is an Alpine 6.5 inch monitor.


Or if you want to be on the safe side, you can do a 5.8" monitor.


Here is a Pionner 8 inch monitor.


Sony makes a nice 6.5 inch monitor as well.


Here is a Kenwood eXcelon 7.0 inch monitor.


But to make long story short, I like the Alpine or Kenwood eXcelon models.

nice, yeah every store i have talked to wont do it. i would have to go to some specialty shop to do that.

Wow, Javi. Never saw screens like those before. Where do you find them like that?

Betonthis: Have you tried to install this yourself? Is there a place in your Aurora where this would work, say just below the rear vents?

you cant really install it anywhere else since its an overhead unit. i've seen on Pimp My Ride where they took them apart for their needs but i wouldnt want to do that. its not too hard of a job to do it yourself.

I found those screens being sold on the net, but I know that any Car Audio and Video place can install this screens on the Classic Aurora, I've seen some Aurora's with them, so I kow they can be mounted.

Thank you for the information Javi. Couldn't you just put this unit in the glove box?

To put a screen in the glove box, you'll probably will have to fabricate something to hold the screen in place, but I'm pretty sure it can be done.

Also here are the links to the sites that have this screens.

caraudiosecurity.com

www.caraudiodiscount.com

I know this places are in the U.K. but they have them available here in the U.S.

[oldsauroraman1]

Thank you for taking the time to find those Javi, I appreciate that! These screens are very flexible in their use - especially great for the children while traveling!

[betonthis1]

i want for sure to get one for the stock HU. i want an in-dash, not the motorized face plates. there is a place selling one down in san diego for $499. thats an awesome deal.

[oldsauroraman1]

Now that is new to me. They make such a thing? I'm too far out in the sticks. We're just getting cell service in our area! In fact, last week, we just had our telephone installed - inside the house instead of up on the telephone pole :-)

Next question, how can you watch a video going down the road???

lol wow. well technically you cant in Southern California. if you go to a place to have them install it and they can only have it work when the car is in park. but i perfer to do it myself so i can have it run while moving.

[oldsauroraman1]

Of course the phone thing is a bit of a stretch! :-) However, cell service isn't!

OK. I still think it would be great to have one for traveling - for the children. Mount the view screen behind me though - I'd wreck trying to watch.

That's what I'm thinking for the kids, you know the long trips, the wife keeps telling me "yeah right".

[betonthis1]

i get mine for the kids but they always fall asleep when im driving. so i just turn up my 12's and wake em right up, lol. j/k.

[betonthis1]

wow, still no one interested? man.

[97abrora]

How much do you want for it now? Bestbuy can install this unit without buying anything else?

[betonthis1]

im selling it for $100 here. i think i got someone interested off of craiglist.com. on there im selling it for $145.

best buy will install outside products but will charge you the same labor rate.

[97abrora]

I'm not worried about labor.. how will this mount on the inside? I have the garage door opener then the moon-roof..

[betonthis1]

just sold it. finally after all this time, lol. cool thing about who i sold it too, the guy who bought it does classic car restoration for a hobby and told me he could knock some of my dings on my car for really cheap.

you wont be able to mount an overhead unit with a moonroof. or you could but you cant open it up.

[97abrora]

I wondered how that would work anyways.. lol

yeah if you could cut down some of the bolt it might be possible but the bolts go up almost touching the actual metal of the roof. so if the sunroof opened up, it would hit the bolts and bust off.
