check out mp3car.com they have carPC's, screens, brackets, anything you need for a carPC for sale. as well as some good info in general on them

you should evaluate what you want to be able to do then choose dvd/nav/radio or carPC. i really wanted to build the pc for a while then looked at why i wanted it, i can get a nice double din nav radio for less than building one so i'm going that route now.

Cool. What do you guys reocmmend for headrest monitors? I have a little one in the backseat that gets cranky easily and another one on the way.

Where can I get the pre-installed monitors alreay mounted in the headrests?

New no name ones on ebay are apparently crap made in China. I have no personal experience with them though. This is just what local enthusiasts tell me.

I've been waiting to hear from an actual owner of one of these screens to see how they work and fit.

Keep us posted.

URDONE - which trim bezel do you have, and does it match the ac unit or is it just the light making it looks a little off?
I am not sure what kit I have, I got it from the electronics store I got my unit from. But it does match the A/C trim.

flux capacitor

had to go back and look (two year old mod)

that was the initial switch to go back and forth from the nav screen to the DVD (came with the unit). Switch has been upgraded and moved out of the way.
