Now, I just need to remove the dash to fit the speedo connection to the back of the dials, and replace the std cd changer with my own. Thatll be another day then.

 

[ClioJohn]

nice one, kind of scream is that?

 

[KeyserSoze]

very nice chap!

 

[Gareth]

Its a 7" Panasonic CQ-VA707 motorised (obviously).

 

[maff]

nice one! are you goin to get a play station in their aswell?

nothin better than watchin fresh prince of bel air, in ur car with a bass box!!

 

[Daz]

Looks mint!

 

[Gareth]

yeah might do, got a ps2 and an xbox, so the ps2 doesnt tend to get used that often, but if it was in the car it would!

 

[KDF]

you lucky sod... how much did the screen + navigation cost you in total if you dont mind me asking ?

the speedo connection is for the navigation part right ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

2days Gaz???? how many fag and tea breaks did you have????????

 

[maff]

think someone told me you can wire a ps2 straight to the battery without the use of an inverter, dont take that for gospel though.

and yes i have to agree,... lucky sod!!

 

[Gareth]

the screen was £800, the navigation ( & dvd) unit is a bit steep at £1000. And Fred, i dont smoke so that takes that out of the equation, i say two days but i do a bit here and there then play on the computer for a bit etc. The actual wiring of the system is quite easy, its positioning and securing everything in the car that takes the time.

oh, and PS. your car is too low Fred!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah you can, you can get a conversion kit that you have to fit inside your PS2 for £68, but i found you get tons of interferrence using a normal plug type inverter, so i had to get a special one (£130!!!! but its got low battery warning and safety cut offs)

 

[Gareth]

i also want to fit some new speakers in the front, but dont want to fit an amp, can anyone recommend some decent ones? might pick some up when i am in chester tommorow, (another visit to Renault).

Cheers, Gaz.

just one more Q, did the screen come with a tv tuner.. if not how much extra was it ? and what is the picture quality like in sun etc.



ps. yes I know that more than one Q .... sue me

 

[Gareth]

tv tuner was an extra £200, and dont know about in the sun mate, but the quality is probably the best you can get, hence why the dvd and screen cost £1800.
