I want to put a screen in. Everyone keeps on opening my NAV Hood, and always asking what goes there. What is the cheapest way of doing this?

 

You really need to be a little more specific. What do you want to view on the screen (DVDs, Navigation, Video game, etc.)? You can put a Fahrenheit screen in there for around $250 or so (DIY) but it won't display anything until you give it something to display. At a minimum you should probably plan to spend ~$500 for just about anything (ie aftermarket DVD player plus installation). You also have to decide if you want to keep the "stock" radio (either standard or Bose) or upgrade to a new head unit so you can "hear" what is on your screen.

Your best bet is to do a forum search to give you some ideas and the costs of each upgrade. There are a ton of great posts on the subject. Typing Fahrenheit into the search engine would be a good start. Good luck.

 

So I have to replace the stock system if I want to here anything? I just want a screen. I don't really care if it is a DVD or NAV system. Just something cheap and active. Anything is better than a plastic hole.

 

well all ur gonna have is just a screen
nothing on it...
probly just blue...
at least hook it up to like a xbox or ps2...
its pretty cheap...
and u can use teh ps2 or xbox as a dvd player

 

you can go to homedepot.

They have screens there cheap. Man you must have big bugs there to need a screen.


hehe, sorry couldn't resist.

 

don't think I am going to go to HOME DEPOT. I think ps2 or xbox option would be cool, I will check into that. If anyone esle has any ideas--please let me know.

 

well if you're going for a xbox or ps2 don't forget you'll need a power inverter to boast the 14v to 110v.

 

How much are those?

 

they're aren't that much. between 20-40 dollars. you cn pretty much find them anywhere (even home depot) they plug in your cig outlet, but you can strip it to hardwire it to you car.

 

Thanks, if anyone esle know anything, please add. What is going on w/ that guy and his PALM?

 

If you wanted to go w/ a NAV system. Do you have buy a screen seperate, then the system? Does the screen and system have to come together in a package. I don't know anything about this stuff, that is why I ask such dumb questions
