Hi all, thinking about buying a DVD car stereo with a flip out screen. Does anyone know if this will work in a VX? It looks like the dash above the stereo may stick out too much and the screen would knock against it. The stereo I'm looking at is the Pioneer AVH-P5700DVD cheers Michael

you guessed correctly. My car had one fitted when i bought it and it had to sit in a wee plinth thing to work. Unfortunately the pics went bye bye when we moved servers.

Why?

It's not like you'll be able to hear it, or is in a good place to view - concentrate on driving!

The vibrations would probably mess up the screen mechanism anyway...

Some flip out screens will work, depends if its got a angle option on the screen.

I got this one from Halfords, not a bad unit, works well, the screens a little hard to see in bright weather but doesn't really matter 9 months of the year.

Yawnnnn He didnt ask do you think he should fit one! Use your head, you can get loads of songs on a dvd disc for a start. just because its fitted doesnt mean he has to view it while driving, could be for passenger purposes, or plenty of other reasons. Mines a dream when im camping and me and the misses want to watch something, keep her quiet on long journeys too.

You get a fcuk lot more on an SD card, usb hard drive or wankpod/phone.

Proberbly due to the loud spinning type noise comming from Mr Chapmans grave.....

[muckyman]

thanks for the input guys. I only asked about this particular model as I had been offered it cheap, and I do need a new stereo. I'll continue the hunt......

Yes but then you can't play DVD's through an SD card I phone etc

A flip up dvd player's a jack of all trades. i was merely pointing out a plus

Kenwood KVT-52*DVD with the Z action screen fits fine. You are best off taking some measurements and finding them in a shop as the dash overhang can get in the way on a lot of them. Also handy for me to put my ChaseDVR through.

A lot of the pioneer units have a function to allow them to pop out further also.

Mine fits fine, I can adjust the angle and how far it comes out.

[Crabash]

Not sure on model jon but that looks like the same screen mech as mine.
