I am looking at getting a LCD screen for my 2003 350z. Where is the best place to get the Farenheit from since Inotice alot of people are using this screen in their cars?


THANX

 

Ebay is the only place I've seen them at a good price... Get lucky every once and awhile here or Amazon....

 

i bought the power acoustiks screen from millionbuy.com, its the same exact screen

They have easy to contact customer service too.

 

ebay... 89$ only place i was able to buy t7000 from. fits like a glove

 

There are a couple of Farenheit T-7000MHR's on eBay right now. Price is fixed (Buy It Now items) at $105 + $25 for shipping. If you not in too big a hurry to get one, they show up occasionally open to bids. I got one last year for $80 and just watched one sell for $56 this week. --Spike

 

Does anyone know where to get the T7001MHR, the one with 2 video inputs? I really want to get this one. My T-7000 crapped out so I need to replace it anyway.

I have a Farneheit T-7001MHR that I am selling. But, please read the following that describes tests I ran on this LCD against others. Send me PM if you are still interested after reading this post.
======================
About the Farenheit T-7001MHR…some things to consider (and this is for the ’03 upper/forward cubby fitment).

T-7000MHR: 1 input for video, 0 output for video
T-7001MHR: 2 inputs for video, 1 output for video

You can toggle video display on T-7001MHR (AV1 to AV2) using the remote control.

The IR sensor of the T-7000MHR is on the upper left side of the monitor’s frame while the IR sensor on the T-7001MHR is on the middle right side of the monitor. No big deal, but I point this out in case someone has a T-7000MHR installed and has the hole drilled, and then mistakenly thinks the T-7001MHR will drop into the same space with no requirement to drill a new hole in a different place.

The T-7000MHR comes with a headrest frame. The LCD itself is a separate piece from the headrest frame, and it is well-shrouded with plastic sides and a metal cover on its back.

T-7001MHR comes with a very cheap plastic headrest mount that also serves as the side and back protection. When you remove the T-7001MHR from the cheap plastic headrest mount, it is totally exposed and naked (no side or back protection). The circuit board is totally exposed. To mount the T-7001MHR in the Z’s forward/cubby, you must remove the outer flange of the headrest mount (it is a custom saw-job) leaving the sides and back of the headrest mount intact. Once you do that (carefully cut-off the outer flange of the cheap headrest mount), the T-7001MHR fits the Z’s upper/forward cubby perfectly.

I bench-tested the video display of the Farenheit T-7001 against a Power Acoustik PT-700MHR (which is the same as a Farenheit T-7000MHR) and a couple of other headrest monitors from two popular/common companies. For this test I used a RadioShack 13.8VDC-3 Amp (AC to DC) Power Supply. My video supply was a DVD player and a Garmin GVN 52. I used a composite video connector for both sources to the LCD screens. Video is NTSC.

Results: All the LCD’s looked equal (with minor color variations that were not significant) when displaying video from the DVD player, but the Farenheit T-7001MHR had a slightly better display (text was slightly sharper) with maps and text when the Garmin GVN 52 was the source. I don’t understand this since the Farenheit T-7001MHR shares the same board (well… almost the same board) as the Power Acoustik PT-700MHR and the Farenheit T-7000MHR. I can only think this is an aberration or a manufacture’s inconsistency. It was necessary to turn the “Color” setting way down (zero is OK) to achieve best text display on any of these units.

EDIT (FEB 19, 2007): Just did some more testing after downloading v2.30 software/driver for the Garmin GVN52. Garmin says on their website that v2.30 improves composite video, and my test show that is true. Additional testing on the Farenheit T-7001MHR and the Power Acoustik PT-700MHR show the Power Acoustik provides better video with more controls (tested with the GVN52 and a DVD player as the input source). This is a different result than I describe in this thread. For the best video display (text and graphics), choose the Power Acoustik PT-700MHR or the Farenheit T-7000MHR instead of the Farenheit T-7001MHR.
