Upgrade radio console into New touch screen DVD player

leohgh · Sep 16th, 2011, 14:14

HI there,

Has anyone changed radio console into New touch screen DVD player before?

I found one dvd gps bluetooth etc all in one player on ebay. I would like to buy this and replace the old fashion radio console. Also I can connect a rear camera to the screen.

How's my plan? Anyone has experience before?

At that price, you should get a quality brand instead like Pioneer or the likes. You will also need a double din fascia and then an analogue to optical injector/converter as the head unit isn't the amp, and the amp takes an optical input. You would also need a steering wheel control interface if you wanted to use those controls.
