Somebody needs to build this into their robot ... http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Pyle-PLD33MU-320W-3%27%27-TFT-LCD-Car-In-Dash-DVD-CD-USB-MP4-AM-FM-Radio-Player-/400255360673?_trksid=p1468660.m2000037 $87.50

Car DVD player w/LCD screen, 320 watts & remote. First you better upgrade your speakers & batteries.

Or build it into your desktop computer.

And I suppose you could put it in a car if you had to... drive carefully while watching your favorite DVDs or MP4s on SD or USB drive!

That's the Ebay DoD, but for 2 bucks more you can get a real car wiring harness with the same unit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pyle-PLD33MU-In-Dash-3-LCD-Monitor-DVD-CD-MP3-Car-Stereo-Receiver-Head-Unit-/300625805111?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&vxp=mtr&hash=item45feb1bf37

When I remodeled my kitchen, I built a nice car stereo/CD into the wall & installed overhead wall speakers (actually car speakers I painted white). Tremendous sound on a budget. Powered by a small gel cell on constant trickle charge. Quite popular, dozen of my friends then copied my installation. Might need to upgrade to this so we can watch videos while cooking. If only it had a TV tuner built in...

Bigger screen, 4.5". I broke down & got one today. It might go in a robot, my kitchen, or my car, TBD.

If you stop seeing "erco's deal of the day" soon, it might mean I was watching DVDs in my car and wrapped it around a light pole. JK...

Hey! I am thinking of buying the PYLE PLD45MU I see that you have one already. I need the measurement from the bottom of the actual unit to the bottom of the face plate in millimeters (mm) I don't have much space there in my car and wanted to know that measurement before I buy it to know if it would fit.. Please reply as soon as possible.

erco

Unit requires a fairly standard rectangular opening, ~7-1/8"w x 2-1/8"h. There's a flange on the stay-in-car unit measuring 7-3/8"w x 2-7/16". The removeable face plate sticks down another 0.500" from that flange; IOW, it sticks down ~11/16" inch below the bottom of the rectangular opening.

ohh bummer!! lol. I only have 12 mm to play with. GOSH!! and I love this player so much! tell me about it? Does it play DIVX whats the quality like? I am looking for a player that will play DIVX, has Bluetooth capability both for making and receiving calls and streaming audio, has to be 1 DIN. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks for the reply I appreciate it.

erco

It just arrived via UPS today, so I won't get a chance to play with it for a while. Looks pretty nice though.

DivX?

Pyle makes smaller units: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PYLE-In-Dash-3-LCD-DVD-CD-MP3-USB-Player-AUX-PLD32MU-/270590448442?pt=Car_Audio_In_Dash_Receivers&hash=item3f0072933a

Oh and the face plate has to be motorized. I've had bad luck with the flip down ones. Somehow the little clip that locks the face plate in always breaks lol. one time I had to use glue to seize it into place haha. that was a mess.

bredzy

I think I've seen all of what Pyle has to offer. All the standard sized 1DIN's have a flip down face plate. The 4.3" looks to be relatively the same size as the 4.5" . I just cant seem to find the perfect one!! GEEZ!! lol

I've tried to do something similar but I wanted to put an automotive radio in my computer case. They are about 1/2 inch too wide :frown:

Anyone used Planet Audio dvd players before?

$150... free ship... did I order too soon?

I fired the unit up for a quick bench test. No speakers hooked up, but she plays CDs & DVDs as advertised. Neat motorized screen moves out and rotates 90 degrees to R&R the CD/DVD. It can also auto-tilt the screen up for better viewing.

The "safety interlock" which stops you from driving while watching DVDs is the mysterious "pink wire". That's supposed to go to your parking brake electrical switch, which is switched to ground when your parking brake is on. IOW, DVDs play when that wire is grounded.

So my two questions are, what self-installer will ever bother hooking it up to the brake wire, and how many of these $10 brake bypass kits do they sell? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pyle-DVD-Parking-Brake-Bypass-PLD43MU-PLDN750D-PLDNV78I-PLDN73I-PLTS78DUB-/180777128983?pt=Car_Audio_Video&vxp=mtr&hash=item2a17281417
