i just got a car dvd player from my boy and i plan on getting it installed in 2 week i am gunna be putting it in the big empty spot on the passanger side dash, were they have that z28 symble. (looks so plain like a dvd is suppost to be there lol) has anyone done this? or even installed a dvd anywere in there thirdgen. let see some pics!!!!!!!

 

We had a DVD setup in out 96 TA. Works nice, would have to look for a couple pics.

Your not gunna cut the panal behind the Z28 emblem to mount flush are ya? Because it wont fit, Venting ect. is behind there. If u get the DVD Shuttle u can mount it under the dash extention and it looks sweet there.

 

DVD Install we did in the 96 TA

 

I've got a 1 DIN DVD player that I'm going to put into the dash where the center AC vents are... if I ever get around to it.

 

wow out of all the people on this board and just 3 people have it, that was unexpected.

 

hey, in that picture, whats the deal with the center console?

what color is it suppost to be anyway!?!?

 

Not sure what u mean, the interior is that dark charcol. The pic was taken with the T's out and in the sun.

 

I want more info on that 96! I'm looking for options on my 95 Formula. How'd you do that? Have in-progress pics?

 

If u got any exp installing systemes then it would be pretty simple for ya to do.


Origanaly w took out the 1.5 din stock deck and customed in a 2 din set up with the monitor on top and a DVD/CD player mounted in under it, but we had over heating problems so we removed the CD/DVD player and used a standard mounting kit to drop it to a 1 din.

Then we got a DVD/MP3/CD shuttle and mounted it were the glove box was. We took out the glove box and fabricated a panal that looked stock to mount the shuttle into, and it does look likes it came there from the factory.

Now here the law's dont allow the driver to watch the movie's, so its got head phones for the passengers that allow them to here the movie while it getting play'd and the driver can listen to the radio at the sametime, or u can run the movie over the whole system like most peeps do anyways

We hooked up a remote under the center console so that we could still use the steering wheel controls. We added an Phoenix Gold LPL and Bass Cube.

All speakers were four 6.5"/1"tweet MB Quart componet speakers and a 10" MB Quart PWD 254 SubWoofer powered by a Phoenix Gold Octane Limited Edition #13 of 500 amp. Its completly set up for Sound Quality but still hit 137.1 db in SPL( not bad for one 10" sub ) on the single run we took it through.

If u want more info feel free to pm me and I'll answer any questions that i can. I have done lots of installs but unfortunetaly have very few pics to show.

 

Man that's really cool. I don't think I have the experience needed to fabricate a panel like that though.

I'm trying to understand what you meant by mounting a remote so that you could still use the steering wheel controls.

 

I am not sure how to explain it for ya. Theres a adaptor that run's off of the steering controls and sends a signal to the deck as if from your remote so that u can use the stock bottons. If u look very closly were the E-Brake is in the pic u will see a little blue thing like an led, thats what sends the signal to the deck from the stering controls. Any reputable shop should know what u were talking about. If needed I can get u the name/number of the shop were I get my stuff from here in Canada.

 

I was wondering if something like that existed, because I'd like to keep my steering wheel controls if I change my deck. So what you're saying is it basically maps the steering wheel buttons to send a signal to a remote reciever? So as far as the deck knows it recieved a signal from the remote to turn the volume up or what-have-you? Is it programmable so that it works with any remote or is it deck-specific?

 

I don't have a DVD player, yet, but I do have the screen and PSone in, to give you an idea of possible screen location.

U got it right, and u can reprogram the controls so the the volume is seek and the play is skip and totaly confuse yourself if wanted. We used a Clarion deck for this and I am not sure if it was Clarion specific or not. We are actualy thinknig on selling the Head unit/monitor right now. Gunna custom the monitors into the sun visiors for a more hidden look. Havent decided yet, we took 4th over all in the last show we entered, with the whole setup. The show judged everything inc. SPL and SQ and install.

 

That's pretty sweet, I'll have to keep that in mind.

 

I have a DVD and Screen but it was installed on the roof. It is meant to be on the roof, the system I got I mean. It has lights, and a DVD drive, but also has a setup for video games which I tell you really shuts up the boys on long drives (And I am not talking kids, I am talking friends. 20 y/r old kids really) I like it because I cannot hear whats going on (headphones for them) and it keeps them quiet so I can focus on my favorite part of owning a Camaro (Driving!).

 

I don't exactly think everybody on the boards comes here for the car audio board. At least this is maybe my third time at tops, and I've been on the board for over 3 and a half yrs.

 

i have an 89 and i put my ps2 under the seat.. passenger side! IM in the midst of mounting behind dash with tinted plexiglass cover and wireless controllers so it " blends in"
