In dash video (ebay?)

[digital_ripper04]

Hey guys, I know a couple people on here have had ebay monitors. My birthday is coming up so I wanted to finally find an indash monitor. What I am looking for is:

*just the monitor, it doesnt have to have dvd and all that
*Around $300-$350
*Decent viewing angles
*Good quality screen
*7 inch screen, motorized


Here is what I have found on ebay so far

those are just some ideas. Can someone point me in the direction I should be at lol

Thanks

unforunatelly those are not all in one so you would have to spend more money on a dvd player/changer

for the price you are looking a i would without a doubt go with the jensen models if your planning on going the ebay route try searching for "jensen dvd"

they are very underrated screens i had one before and i though it was really good

the nly one i would stay away from is the 9510 it had a bunch of bugs and a small amp the 9510ts(touchscreen model) was fixed thou so you should be good with that they also have a few touch screen models which are a bit more pricey but still within your dollar range

Your best bet for that price range will be the jensen 9311 i believe. It has the brin built in mp3 dvd and 7in screen all for around 400 or less

cool thanks for getting me pictures. I couldnt really tell the quality though but now I have a good idea.

how would you compare the stolen one to the one you have now? Which had the better looking screen, was it a big difference?

unfortunatelly i have heard a lot of bad things about pyle i had the actual dvd player that is shown and the player was all messed up no power would work and i was never able to install it i would go with the jenen as i said before,

the accesories are about 15 dollars all you would need is the plug and play wiring harness (pick it up at circuit city, best buy or a local install shop)our cars already come with a single din slot and you dont need an adapter

[thebirdman13]

i've had the one i'm selling in my car for about 9 months and had absolutely no problems... the screen is nice and the picture quality is great... the wiring harness should come with the unit as you shouldn't need a seperate one... honestly, the only reason i'm selling mine is because i'm tired of the in dash type... i'm getting the drop down for the back for the kids and visors for the wife while we're driving... she just wasn't comfortable looking at the middle of the dash for the whole movie on long trips and since i took out the headrest monitors last year, the kids were staring at the 7" in the middle of the dash from the back seat... not good... anyway, in my experience, pyle really isn't bad... at least mine isn't...

[IceDouTGaLanT]

that alpine one is very nice..very clean its alpine prob the best picture outa the pyle and others listed, i used to have it then upgraded tot he d900..also its simple to hook up, and you can always use ur ps2 has an video source for that tv

[digital_ripper04]

cool thanks guys, I think I will go with this one

[fatal1]

although i have never had an experience with that unit in particular i have had 2 others and they worked fine in my experience the 9410 is the best one and i have never owned it but the 9411 a freind of mine has for about a year with not one problem and a lot more features

they do sell the 9311 at a lot of circuit city's and best buys so that would probroblly be your best bet you spend an extra $60 and get a 2 year warranty you just bring it in and they will swap it with a new one if tehre are any problems.

the units arent supposed to work without the parking brake engaged these people either took it somewhere that is very particular about this law or have no idea how to install a unit it can easilly be reworked i believe with the newer ones you might have to hook up a switch thats what they did for the 9411 (just acts as an engager some of the newer units out today[all brands] have a sensor that wont play if the wire is constantlly engaged [grounded] all you have to do is hook up a switch from the parking brake wire [the one you would ground off] and a ground wire a simple wire to a factory bolt or scre you can find a lot between the dash bezzle but most of the older units[all models] you just simply add that parking brake wire to a factory bolt or screw and constanly ground it [engage it]

tried to be as explanatory as possible also most of the chain stores will do a free install and they will make it work while you are driving although it isnt advisable to watch it anyway lol

i wouldnt let some opinions deter you from getting it i have read several good ones also and for the price and functions you cant beat it if you are still warry get the warranty from a chain store and even if you dont like it with the warranty you can always upgrade too and just pay the difference

thanks fatal

I guess I can see if someone at Best Buy will let me get there employee discount :D If not they are always sending out the 10 and 12% off coupons so hopefully that will work... I just dont think I can buy that model of ebay now with all the problems it seems to have

[fatal1]

yea definatelly i have seen them go for like 400 at circuit city not sure about best buy if you need any help let me know but the best investment you can make is the warrany expecially with something like that

[thebirdman13]

the parking brake thing is a safety feature... every monitor has it... all you have to do is ground the wire to a good ground source... it bypasses the "parking brake has to be on for you to watch movies" mode... but places that install professionally are bound by law to attatch that wire to the parking brake sensor

lol thats good to know. It makes me feel a tiny bit better about this monitor

[digital_ripper04]

should I just go with a screen then and hook up a dvd player to it or just go with the whole package?? I need some help haha

[fatal1]

just go with the whole package get everything you want now so you dont have to do it twice

thats why i am saying to go with the jensen from experience... you could at least get $50 back from your eisting dvd player not sure of the brand but im saying at least...as long as you et the warranty you are safe

[digital_ripper04]

I finally got around Best Buy and Circuit City and they dont have shit there. They had a total of 3 displays and none of those were Jensen. All the displays were listed at over $600 too.

Depends on the stroe he's going to. Where I work we have all 3 jensen screens in stock and on display. As for the parking brake thing, the jensen's are a lot like alpines there's a sequence that you have to go through in order to enable the video. YOu can't just ground the parking brake wire, it will have to be hooked up to a switch in order to be able to bypass the lockout.

lol yep, its actually already out of my car and back to the place I bought it. SOmething is wrong with the video, even if I had my brake and E brake on the video would not show. Then I had someone install a switch so I could have video while driving and that didnt even work. BUT when the video will show up that in dash is VERY NICE and worth the money!!!

thanks for the great input

[bmxmike]

Hey i have the same one you had the Dual XDVD 8181 and the thing about the unit viewing is it has to have a pulse to fool it to view the screen while driving. When you hook up the switch you have to throw it a couple of time i throw it 5 times in 4 second intervals then leave it in the on position wait 5 seconds and the screen comes on! I really like it no complaints and screen if excellent only problem is i cant get my computer to burn dvd r
