What Is It ?

[adambruv]

ok guys, i have this panasonic dvd rom thing in the pop up compartment above the glovebox (i think it might be navi). i also have aerials on the back 2 windows but yet there is no pop up screen in the car. would there had been a aftermarket screen somewhere and they took it out ? or if i was to buy a origional screen would it operate it ?

im wanting to buy a RS radio suround so i can put in an aftermarket head unit. i have found 1 in australia for $250 and it comes with the pop up screen, im just worried it will be a waste of money. is anyone able to give me some advice ?

thanks

Hi Adam

I'm no expert but the Panasonic dvd would be JDM aftermarket & no good here. What is your current head unit? Is it the fully integrated Bose?

I think the pop up screen would be difficult to get working where there wasn't one before. Maybe someone like Brad will chime in, but I'd guess save your money & don't get a surround with screen.

hey mate

im not sure but i dont think its the fully integrated Bose. its sitting at a mates place atm where its easier for me to pull the front off, so once i go out there either tonight or tomorrow ill get a photo and upload it for you. i dont really mind about the pop up tv screen, i just would like to put my double din clarion headunit in, ill keep an eye out for one without the pop up screen, if they came out the factory like that.

thanks for your help

Hi Adam, that DVD ROM is nothing to do with the NAVI if there is no pop up screen nor a screen mounted above the A/C controls.

If you want the pop up screen with info to work in your car, you will need to get the DVD ROM as that stores all the info as well as the wiring harness and the screen/surround.

Can't see why it couldn't be done and there are some on Yahoo (see Import Monster) from time to time.

If you buy the RS surround with the screen just remove the screen and put in the little glovebox there instead. Its like the double din kit. Then the AC controls will work.

I guess you are taking out all the jap stuff by the first thread.

You could fit a small screen with av in the pop up holder. It wont look factory but it will give more options.

If you use the factory screen you will need the dvd rom and the TV tuner in the boot for the AV input. I dont think anyone has put a factory system into a non fitted car.
