Is this a big job or would most mechanically minded people be able to do it ?Geea. You have to make some incisons to your rooflining, and it attaches where your interior lamp used to go. Kinda!The de-structions are very good, if youre not shy about having a go, you should have no problems. Its just the cost of the little bugger! 3 large!

I saw it today at strathfield car radios, was a good price, not sure about the quality. I've heard of them.In one of those nerd magazines I heard that the XMS DVD player won an award for the best value.As far as I know they are really good, AAAAND they play all sorts of discs like "backed up" *cough burnt cough* DVD's.

Asked about playing the movies into the ICC was told its a work in progress will be ready in less than a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bossman Guests Posted 23/05/04 10:59 PM Share Posted 23/05/04 10:59 PM I have just rung a shop and they tell me the roof mounted screen could be a problem as I have a sunroof, has anyone heard of this? I can't see the problem if it is done properly, they told me I would have to put two screens in the back of the headrest (about another $1000) sounds like a good sales pitch to me.

Guest den_iel Guests Posted 24/05/04 12:42 AM Share Posted 24/05/04 12:42 AM ford won't/can't install their rex screens if u also have a sunroof. I think that there are issues with distance between the viewers and screen because of the space the sunroof takes upcorrect me if I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzzza Member 103 Member For: 22y 26d Location: Sydney South Posted 24/05/04 02:46 AM Share Posted 24/05/04 02:46 AM I also have a sunroof. Most places said it can't be done. One said they could, by mounting a steel plate under the roof lining. The problem was, the screen then would be too close to the back passengers. That would mean the kids would have the heads tilted up all the time trying to look.Personally I don't like the idea of losing the view from the rear vision mirror when the screen is openThe solution,I had installed 2 x 5.6" headrest mount screens + the Blaupunkt interface into the ICC. Looks great & the kids love it.Cheers,muzzzza... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
