More screens

How many people here have more than one screen? How many would like a screen or two? How many think I’m stupid for wasting money on them? I just got 2 more screens that I just mounted in the headrest. Now I have three the other is replacing the rearview mirror. Our headrest are pretty easy to work with. I just have to figure how to close the hole from the front. Once I get my car back I’ll post some pics.

What no one likes a few screens?

:shrug:
seems like that’s asking for people to break in. n plus, some people dont need screens behind headrests, some of us dont have rear seats :smiley:
so 1 would be what i’d go with. but u’d be wasting money on multiple screens, unless your going for show. about one for the place of the rear view mirror, umm… i’d rather have a rear view mirror then a screen. but i’ve seen mirrors with built in lcd screens in them that can switch on/off. those are pretty neat. but i’ve only seen those in side view mirrors, never in rear view mirrors yet.
i’d go with one in the center dash area that can fold down with a cover for security purposes, or one in the place where the center a/c vents would be.

How do you look out the back window? I would think it would be hard to drine w/ no rv mirror. You shouild mak eit like a lambugini diablo. Theres a camera that faces behind so it acts like a mirror except on your LCD screen.

I actualy thought about using one of those tiny cameras and putting it in the trunk keyhole that way I would have a excuse if I got pulled over with it on. I never got around to it.I somehow learned to drive just as well with the side mirrors altough I do miss the rearview. Yes I actually am trying to go for show. Thanks for the replies.

hehe, yea… that’s koo, but then if you have the camera in the back. hehe, then you can park closer. :smiley: if ur tryin to park in a tight spot. :slight_smile:

I don’t believe in multiple screens unless you are a true baller and drive an escalade or a navigator. Anything else other than a luxury car is pointless to me…I just like the multiple screens in luxury cars because it looks cool at night when you drive next to someone like that, when they are by themselves and have all the screens on. That’s just cool looking…

im putting in a 7" indash for christmas and im gonna use it to play dreamcast :cool: i never play it at home but im always waiting for people in my car so ill have something to do now :wink:
i dont wanna ruin the headrests because i like how they look
but i might get screens in the visors later on… just for show… :smiley:

friends dont let friends drive suv’s
:stuck_out_tongue:

hadeone - sweet dude… :up: one thing i never knew, but been meaning to ask, is how does power get to the system? do u use one of those converter things? but have it hidden? or what… i just never knew… :shrug:

Theres a guy that works at a local stereo that has 2 screens(or three cant remember) in his teg. He said he frequents the board but doesnt post. One of them being a clarion flip out in the center heater vents and the other is a flip down which looks to be 6" in place of the rearview. Also had a PS2 and custom system in there. I dunno maybe he will post and show you guys.

The screens run off normal 12 volt power wired just like any other electronic. now for a PS2 or Dreamcast you need a power converter like mine hidden under the seat. Finaly nice to see more people like screens than me. And I do have an suv, just wish I could afford some 20s. Also I’m a playa, not a balla:cool:

why would that kid you know take his rearview out for a tv??
just get them put in the visors…

tegboi… yea what cam_man said is right… to run a game system you install an inverter… my friend had a full computer system in his galant on a inverter… now we’re tranfsering it over to his blazer… hes getting a 10" touchscreen :smiley: and the computer had gps dvd and all that :wink: so that should turn out nice…

the best places for tv’s in the teg i think would be

  1. indash flip out just because of how the whole thing is angled towards the driver…

  2. center vents like most people have done…

  3. visors

  4. headrests if you want to cover the hole…

  5. if you wanna be a true ballaaaa you need a 15" roof fold down
    and u got to get some screens in those jdm backseat headrests :wink:

sorry for the essay but im sick and staying home from school…
boringggggggggggggggg:roll:
have fun :clap:

hahahaha…
bordom gets ya. :wink:
what im scared about running systems in cars n stuff, is that the power being sucked outta the battery. would it kill the battery like, quick? and if you hook any system up to a seperate battery, i’ve heard that it wouldnt recharge itself as a car battery that is hooked up and when you drive, it sends power back in. i just have a 160 watt. amp, and had a 15 runnin through and after a little while, my car suddenly died. like, battery completely died while i was at a light, and entering the freeway. my car has done it a few times, and im guessing it’s my battery, but im not completely sure.

my question is - if i’d want to get a laptop built into the dash, would it kill the battery in a matter of hours if i run an inverter to it?

If your battery and alternator are fine there should be no power problems. Unless it stays on for a couple of hours with the system playing. I’ve played a couple of entire movies while my car was parked and it cranked just fine. and remeber, “anything that illuminates the front cab of a vehicle or in the drivers view is illegal” “yes I could give your a ticket for you dome light”, Texas State Trooper. Yeah their stupid.

omg… hahah, domelight.

humm… it would be kool to have a flipscreen where the domelight is, and when it’s folded in, you can lay your seat back, and watch when ur parked or sumthin. :smiley:

I though about one for the roof, but wiht the sunroof their is no room. I always wanted to put one in the steering wheel. Just for show of course, I have enough distractions as it is.

hehe, have porn playing… then your drivin, while gettin road head!! hahahah, then all of a sudden, your still drivin, then see the screen, get new ideas… then ur just watchin it, HAHAHA, then you get hella more distracted. :naughty:

that’ll be bad… :bawl:
