2nd DIN

Post by Sonicxtacy02 »

Just wondering what you guys are doin with the second DIN slot in our cars. I figure its wasted space just waiting to be taken, considering it cant hold anything without droppin it

The pocket for the mx-3 is EXPENSIVE...but if you order one from a newer 626, it will fit, and will be a lot cheaper<P>------------------<BR>~'94 GS (Creek Blue Mica)

Well, here's my thoughts. I couldn't decide if I wanted an in-dash DVD or an in-dash MP3 player. I'm going to put the Kenwood MP3 player in the top DIN. And the Kenwood DVD player in the bottom DIN. When the DVD is on it will cover up the top DIN and make it look sweet. I won't need the top DIN if my DVD is on right? I thought it would be pretty tight, and I got the best of both worlds. Just my input.<BR>~Ryan~

Just a quick question.... how do you plan to hook both the mp3 player and the in dash to the same wiring harness, then wire it to the same speakers. Oh and another thing, how would the screen have the space to slide out of the unit with your shifter in 1st or 2nd (or park).

I just bought a new cd player (finally). It is a Blaupunkt. In a couple of months I'm going to buy the Blaupunkt IDC-A09, which is an in-dash cd changer. It is a 5 disk changer and it will go in the second din very nicely :)<P>My $0.02!!<P>John Van Camp<BR>94 white RS

whoa i wasnt trying to get on your bad side here buddy. It was simply curiousity. I have thought about doin it the same way, but the system that i have pulls the monitor in and out on its own when i switch from dvd to radio, so it wouldnt work with my automatic.
