has anyone ever tried to put the OEM computer dvd driver in the Nav Cubby along with some lcd screen (just the screen) ?? im thinkin if it is possible..will there be some wiring?

if its not possible...is there any lcd/dvd player combo kit that i can get at a good price..i have a certain budget...about 600 bucks...

i have looked everyone on this forum about lcd screen and such..but to no avail..i'll appreciate if u can help out! thanx!

 

You can't put just a DVD Driver, you need a micronprocessor (CPU, LAPTOP, PC, etc) to control this drive. You could do a mod like several members and hide a Laptop and use the DVD drive, then just drive the Video output to you in-dash LCD screen.

But you can't use the DVD unit by itself.

do a quick search in the forum and you will find several options (proved to work) for DVD playback in your Z.

Good luck!

 

Hey desi bro haven't heard from you in awhile....you still jdm?

 

or you could buy a cheap single din dvd player such as a pyle dvd http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...60162?n=172282

this is similar to what i am using.

 

ya dude im still jdm..rofl..

 

That's a "mobile" DVD player, totally diferent from a Computer DVD drive. That could be use with an Inverter, This will give you regular 120V @60Mhz AC Power, for your car battery. You should find it at walmart where you got your stand along DVD player.

 

Wow, what a dick response.

 

Didn't mean to sound like a dick, I just though he was trying to put a "Computer DVD drive" as he said on the beginning of this post and that link is pointing to a mobile dvd player. They are very two diferents things.

That's was all!.

 

ya thats true...i was a noob at thinkin if i can do that with a dvd driver..but w/e

but that standalone dvd player link hybridart showed me..is much TOO THICK...the one i have is very small and slim ..i got it from walmart..but what im saying is..how can i power that dvd player in my car..cuz it has the plug..so ..how is it possible?

 

Des, You could install an Inverter to power your DVD unit. The Inverter take the +-12V of the battery and output 120V @ 60Mhz which is very similar to your AC power at home. The power (Watts) will depend in how many devices you will want to connect.

200 Watts (For 1 device, let's say the dvd player) $24

800 Watts, (For 2 or 3 Max Devices, Let's say your DVD player and Video Game console & a laptop) $57
