I've recently purchased a little portable DVD player. It's a 7' screen that flips open like a laptop.

Nothing fancy, but considerably cheaper than the incar units, plus I can remove it to give me peace of mind.

As the player is slightly larger than the glove box, I can't just stick it in there, however I was thinking of mounting a frame in the glove box that has rails so you can pull it out like a drawer.

I'm not looking for something fancy and bling, more for practicle purposes of long drives up the coast etc...

How have you guys mounted your DVD players? any suggestions?

If your really stuck for ideas you could separate the screen from the unit and run some longer wires between both, then u could mount the screen in a different spot where it might not have fit with the whole unit, e.g glove box. but u might not be able to get it back together again. just an idea.

the thought did cross my mind to seperate the unit, but i was thiking it might be a better laternative if i can remove the entire unit when i need to....

I'm sure it's not exactly comon practice to use a portable dvd player since the market is now flooded with cd players that have built in screens, but i had a just a faint hope that some others might have gone down the cost saving path i'm atpemptng to take.

I'd rather spend good money on performance mods....

Seriously tho don't mount DVD player in the car, you are not gonna watch it while driving anyway plus the risk of defects, theft, . . . Since you have a portable player I reckon it should be good to just put it on top of the hangbrake box, fold both front seats forward and just watch the movie from the back seats. Plus aint most "actions" happening on the back seats anyway? :rolleyes:

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

      All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
