anyone know where u can get double din size tv set, seen one in a mag once, not seen in shops, do they exist??????

chiark

There's a Necvox unit available that looks pretty tasty called the DVA-9690 - Centurion are the UK distributors IIRC, or BBG can supply too. Built in 5.1 decoder and amp, screen, the lot really...

One place I've seen 'em online is here for 900 quid.

Let us know if you go for one - I'd like to see one in the flesh

Security would potentially worry me... That's all

cheers m8, knew there was one

Dr Hu

OMG! how nice is that - I posted a few weeks ago wanting a Double Din MP3 player.....

But £900 quid - ouch!

I wonder if it has any form of removable security?

Dr Hu

Just noticed it is on special offer too:-

*ONLY* £799 now! Bargain

chiark

better order 2 then, in case one breaks

It could be a sign that an updated version is around the corner, or simply that they want to shift stock.

Mr.Manchester

please god no!!!!!!!!!!!

we had one of these centurion scrrens put into the bosses MY02, it literally chewed up CD's, kept catching on the silver dash surround when opening and the joystick button fell off on many occasions!

it was returned and replaced with Alpine stuff

Darren STI 7

was it really that bad or was this just a one off ?

was thinking of buying it

Mr.Manchester

the one we had was awful mate, maybe they have got there act together but just incase, keep your receipt

Darren STI 7

no prob, cheers for that

chiark

The reviews seem positive - was it the 9690 that u had?

TBMeech

I think it looks quite neat actually, again I think that Security could be a problem as there doesnt seem any way to hide the display.

It's different i'll give it that

Mr.Manchester

if you pull on the front hard enough, it will probably come off

chiark

Mr M, are you sure this is the same unit (Necvox 9690)?

Shame if it is, as it looks a great unit...

(my apologies - it doesn't have 5.1 built in, only output for an external decoder)

Mr.Manchester

yes chiark, thats the one, shame really the idea is there but its just like they have rushed it, it doesnt even look much when you see them in the flesh.

chiark

Bugger

That looked brilliant too

Thanks for confirming, and my apologies for worrying at it like a dog with a bone

I could always mount my touchscreen in the double din hole...

Mr.Manchester

no prob chiark, they are very good, or atleast the idea is, just very poorly made

MR_MAJ

Eurocar fitted the unit into a classic impreza and it was spot on, no probs with it and it looked good!
