tmw188 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 No real help hear but I’m confused a little. You mentioned in dash stereo with Bluetooth but then mentioned watching movies thru it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96 EVO Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Some of the new dash radio's have a 7 or even 9" screen that you can watch video with. They often have a wire going to the parking brake switch to prevent you from watching a movie travelling down the road.

96 EVO Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Was looking online at a few of these units the other day and thought "Wow, $1800CAD for a car stereo", but then quickly remembered having that or more invested in equipment in my hotrods in the late 70's! Compare wages from then to now, it would be about $5000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Hutto Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Here's what I did in my 2006 diplomat. It does play DVDs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike H Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I'm in the same boat looking to replace my old Kenwood KVT-M700. It has to be a single DIN though so I can't use the one you got Scotty. I've looked at a BOSS BE9ACP-C (~$300) , A SONY XAV-AX8100 (~$600) , A Pioneer DMH-WT7600NEX (~$1200) , and also a ATOTO F7 XE (F7G110XE) $???. These have a video input but I don't know if I need a dedicated rear view camera input or just a video input or both. I've never heard of a BOSS or ATOTO unit so know nothing about them.

Chad A Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I replaced with a pioneer. Single din but big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad A Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 8600NEX I believe. it has 2 video inputs so I can have the cameras as well as the Aladdin on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not watching on the in dash unit. I was looking to upgrade to a newer in dash unit to do the same if possible. So I see there are some options, just wanted to see if anyone has done it. Thnx for the replies I think I have enough info now. Safe travels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbr046 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I replaced mine with a BOSS BV9986BI (no longer available) for $230. It has a ton of features but I find it very difficult to operate while driving - awkward viewing angle, tiny nomenclature and not very intuitive. And now it blocks seeing my HVAC controls. Fortunately the HVAC controls are stone-age intuitive. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004S55GWK/ but it does do the job. While no longer available I'm sure there are comparable replacements. The BOSS line has been around for awhile. It's not Pioneer or Kenwood and not priced like those. Pretty much all of my original 2003 speakers are rotted (cloth suspension disintegrated) so I was looking for speaker replacements . . . . https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0047PPR2A/ but at $40 / spkr x 8 throughout the coach it's more than I want to spend. Then again, I could replace just a few. Thoughts on the quality vs price of this Micca brand speaker? That said I typically plug in the ear buds while driving for clearer sound. - bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorodan Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Guys I replaced my old stock unit, (Magnadyne) with a 10" touch screen with bluetooth, GPS and much more from Bangood for a reasonable price, ($200+), now I had to do some mods to the console because the unit covers my switches for Gen start, radio switch and step cover. I simply just use my fingers to excess behind the unit and operate the switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
