Another good one is the JVC KD-DV9406

http://www.ryda.com.au/JVC-KD-DV9406-Car-D...-p/kddv9406.htm

This one dosn't have the inbuilt screen but will output to you popup screen plus is has the bonus of bluetooth

so will this unit defineately work??

i can get one at a good price

Don't see why not. Other JVC models Stagea owners have used recently automatically convert PAL to NTSC automatically so I see no reason why this one wouldn't.

Good luck with it!

My set up was under $AU1500.

I don't use a very powerful projector, because I need my battery to do other little things like start my car :banana: and the Toshiba TLP-S10 I use is discontinued. A couple of good alternatives are the Epson EMP-S5:

or the Acer XD1160:

(apologies for the nz site)

I picked up my head unit second hand for $AU176, but once again. I'd recommend

As for inverters: A 300W inverter should set you right with one of those smaller projectors. I assume your stag has the 12v outlet in the boot.

So, this one:

With the setup currently, the DVD unit only has an RCA video out lead (but with a small projector you wouldn't expect HDMI anyway) I've run it through the centre console and out under the side. I then fold the back seats down and place the projector on them and then run the RCA into that and I'm away laughing. I am pretty happy with the factory speakers. To my ears they sound quite good.

Hope that helps :)

I stuffed up one thing about the inverter advice I gave you. Don't buy the jaycar standard ones. You need a pure sinewave inverter, and just so you know, it has to be twice the wattage of whatever projector you get.

Sorry about that.

with this you can adjust the tilt and angle of the screen, only thing in use is the climate control, all can still be used.

or push the open/close button, change the degress real quik. and push the open/close button again no big hassle, im real happy with it.

only problem, cup holders, can fit 'v' or readbull can's while open, but nothing else, screen must be down.

run 3 RCA's from the video/audio output on the rear of the headunit, through to the back left of the cargo area. behind the trim next to the storage compartment on the side (under the side window) is the box you need to plug into... There's alot of info on doing it if you searched for it.

i did search, but i couldnt find anything about connecting a dvd head unit to the factory screen. why 3 rca's?? wouldnt u only need the visual cable?? since the head unit is connected directly to the speakers??

ive got a spare kv-dv9406 if anyone wants one. i bought it 4 my mate but now he doesnt want it. PM me

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
