Default Alternative Spot for your DVD Player *updated 2.24*

Hey guy,
I just wanna share some photo's of my Slim DVD install. This is a great solution for someone who doesn't want to cut their cubby pocket for the xB or for those who want their dvd player infront of them not underneath the seats or glovebox. I installed this to my tC with the Metra Kit part#99-8209 which is for all models. I'll just let the pictures to the talking...




What do you guys think? any feedback would be great.
Peace,

Nice install, I love that Alpine 9835. I have my eq sitting in that slot, so I put the DVD player in the cubby.

its the same one...but without any brand marks on them. I got the prepoduction version from a friend of mine. valor and i think xo vision picked it up for their line up of dvd players. pretty good unit IMO cause it only has ground and ignition but yet retains last memory. the only thing I haven't checked out if it plays MP3 DVDs.

as for my screen I only have a 7" nesa on the passenger headrest (ghetto rigged thru the poles of the headrest) I will update in a month =)

actually it does refect pretty well that's why its kinda hard to see the monitor in the day time cause of the glare. I forgot to mention that the mirror just clipped on like those broadway mirrors.

hope this helps,

That's the thing with TC's...screen installs are a _____ since there is no space for them. That mirror looks pimp...lol
