Single Din Flip out screen DVD/Nav
Single Din Flip out screen DVD/Nav
Hey, I am looking for a good unit to fit my '89 Camaro Iroc-Z. I am looking for certain specific features (back-up camera, Sirius, Navigation, DVD), if it has most, I'll be more then happy!!
I've been looking at the BOSS BV9996B 7 in-dash, but the reviews are a little... how can I say this... two sided?
Can anyone recommend a good single din flip-out screen dash? Or tell me if this one will fit into my Camaro w/o any hardships with the screen opening?
I do like the double dins but I like the flip outs more. I don't mind covering my H VAC unit, doesn't bother me too much.
Thanks

Go big or go home. With these single DINs if you're gonna spend the money you may as well get a good one. If you're not looking to drop 700 bucks on a head unit Jensen is a fairly decent brand, I have a VM9115 in my car. None of these have DVD navigation but have pretty much everything else, you may be able to find a single din navi unit on fleabay.
Doing a double DIN will require a custom made radio/ac trim bezel or some type of hacking on your existing one. From what I remember when I dismantled half my car and took my AC control box out I don't really think there'd be enough room back there to jam a double DIN in anyway.
Do not buy BOSS audio products. They're cheaply made, my friend. Hope this helps.

Ok, thank you for the input 
My main question is though, if I get a deck with a 7" screen, when it pops out would it hit my shift stick? It's an automatic but I feel that my center console is in the way, no? I'm just worried that I'd have to put my car into drive just to open up the screen. Am I just over worrying or would it actually slide out without any issues?

Re: Single Din Flip out screen DVD/Nav
My flip up hits the dash for a couple of seconds and goes to the pre-adjusted angle I made. It must be a cheap one. I have a Pioneer media deck with a 3" screen that I am considering as a replacement. It supports IPhone, iPod, SD card and USB with Blue tooth. There is no CD support though.

I have a Panasonic CQ-VD7005U DVD with remote that I"would like to sell, , very light use. I bought it for the wife's Burb but she dont like touch screens, put a **** stereo in it so this needs a new home. It works great. two Franklins will get it If you are interisted I would do the deal through PayPal so we both are protected.
