Default tC In Dash AUDIO/Video players

So im looking for maybe a player that has a LCD screen... that plays MP3/DVDs/maybe VCDs?


Maybe you guys can point me to the right one....... i dont wanna spend more than 1500 on a player... hoping around 1200.


I DONT CARE ABOUT GPS.. i just wanna be able to have a screensaver player that i can upgrade... im thinking the screensavers on other players (Like Pioneers players that has the screensavers).... cant be upgraded so im looking for a dvd/vcd player so i can play my OWN screen saver..

OF COURSE gotta have the MP3 feature meng!


Basically im looking for a MP3 dash player with screensavers that i can upgrade to different ones (dont know if upgrading new screen savers is even possible)..
If thats not possible then i'll need one with a LCD screen that can playback MP3/DVD(maybe VCD)?

On top it will need to be a decent brand/quality.

I purchased a jensen headunit..it has a fold out 7 inch screen. It plays dvd,svcd, vcd and a ton of other stuff. It can read dvd r/rw. cd r/rw....It also has a tv tuner. It does not have a screen saver but you can make a dvd that has a slideshow on it and when you are listening to xm or the radio you can have the screen play only the images, if that made any sense. It is a pain to install in the tc. If you dont know much about installing stereos youself i would recommend to get it done professionaly since there are alot of components with it. Also with it installed my stereo cover will not fully close but that might be easily fixed once they start making more stereo kits for the car. If you would like to see pics of it pm me. Also if you want to look it up online its a jensen vm9510

Kenwood has a sweet double-DIN DVD player, the whole front of the deck is the screen. It would be a really nice look with the tC's double-DIN opening.

The unit that will fit near perfect will be the double-din Kenwood DDX7015 ($900 on ebay, $1200 retail), but it doesn't have a screen saver. You can also check the single din flipout units like the Kenwood 815 or Pioneer units, but the flip screen will interfere with the tC's Stereo door (unless you remove the door). The Eclipse units are great too, but they are a little pricey ($1500+).

I have the kenwood 7015 love it, you do have the recess back the ISO mounting holes with a drill though so the door closes but otherwise, excellant unit with sirius to boot.
