Dvd In Stagea

[Raysboostin]

Another good one is the JVC KD-DV9406

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!

I'd like to eventually deck out my stag as a bit of an entertainment bus - how much did it set you back for the projector setup??

[mr_infamy]

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 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

Very thorough response. Thanks.

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.

For those umming and ahhing about cheap DVD headunits, there are some good ones out there.

This is an Eonon headunit I got off eBay, cost me $220 landed and it never faulted while I had it in the car.

this is my Kenwood KVT-839DVD works nice i needed an am/fm arial. this was the better option haha

re-wired the stock amp to the receiver also

[CL11QE]

i was gonna do that but i didnt want it in the way of my standard screen....

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

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.

has anyone got any tips or handy info about connecting the jvc units to the factory screen??

[Silhouette31]

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

[chook]

yep, 3 no need for audio RCAs if you dont have the factory head unit.

[Silhouette31]

really? wow I never even thought of that. What a dickhead.

for sale. pair of Sony RCA's. lol.
