The one in the rearview mirror also looks very cool but isn't it a bit small??

Ron,

WOW! You guys do great work!

I'm in NJ and looking for some audio work done to my car!

Exactly where is your shop in South Plainfield? Can you give me directions from Newark, NJ?

I would love to visit and perhaps do some business.

Ron,

Thanks!

I'll type the address in the Navigation System and it should take me right to you!

I hope to pass by your shop soon.

Yes, we can modify the navi in the car, but can't make it so the actual DVD player for the navi can play DVD's....you need a seperate DVD player.

As for the Video Install of the month, if we did that EXACT setup that you see on my site, you'd be in the $8,500 - $10,000 range.

Question

Ron,

How good will the quality of the image be on the DVD screen ? Does the existing screen provide adequate number of pixels for good resolution?

Bottom line...have you done this before....if so like Erik G says sign me up (if cost is reasonable)? What do you think this would cost to do and what would I have to purchase in terms of hardware?

Thanks,
Manuel

Image quality is excellent. We have done them before using a pioneer decoder, but now we are switching to some newer technology, which includes upgrading the factory navi computer and things of the sort. The pioneer decoder has been discontinued and therefore we needed to change.

Yes, that is neon wire around the subs.....very nice accents, very time consuming to get perfect

I've had good luck with Gold Star Audio in Irvine (Main & MacArthur, near John Wayne Airport). You might want to check them out.
