Title: it's not just that baz bloke you know..!!! Post by craig on Jul 14th, 2005, 2:53pm as some of you already know,i have always had a video in the car along with a single screen that was attached to the rear consul,anyway,today eventually got round to upgrading to a DVD player,and a nice set of headrest screens to boot as well,screens are 7" widescreen ones,and the picture quality really is good.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v399/rocky-stones/campbellandscreens027.jpg in the boot is a toad m3 video and centuturion DVD player,both units have an infra red eye in the car,which really helps,sound is coming through the car stereo via a RF modulator,and also connected is an inrared transmitter which sends the sound to cordless headphones,which the girls use a lot http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v399/rocky-stones/campbellandscreens021.jpg just got to get my air-con all sorted out tomorrow (hopefully :'(),and car will be all back to normal.... off now to take the advice about networking,so knowing my luck,..... ;) ;) |

Post by craig on Jul 15th, 2005, 7:35am I KNOW BAZ... 7" SCREENS WOULDN'T OF FITTED IN THE SCORPIO HEADRESTS ANYWAY ::) :( :( PLUS AFTER WHAT YOU SAID,I WASN'T PREPARED TO TAKE THE CHANCE (NOT MUCH ROOM IN THEM IS THERE),ANYWAY SCREENS CAME OFF OF "GOOD OLD EBAY" LIKE THESE HERE (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32826&item=5789303802&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW) SIMPLE TO FIT,AND YES THEY ACTUALLY FIT A TREAT BECAUSE THE POLES ARE FULLY ADJUSTABLE... WILL SHOW YOU AT WESTON ;) ;) |

Title: Re: it's not just that baz bloke you know..!!! Post by waynem325 on Jul 15th, 2005, 11:55am Nice one Craig! They look pretty d**n awesome to say the least. Makes me want to go make some babies to warrant me getting something similar in mine. Think I'll just stick to practicing at the mo though as I can't really afford them....or the kids for that matter! Another good reason to get to Weston ;) |

Title: Re: it's not just that baz bloke you know..!!! Post by geraghtyg on Jul 15th, 2005, 9:14pm Are the screens powered from the 12V power supply in the rear centre console? I can pictures wires running down the side of the seat! And the screens and headrest in the link for e-bay; are they the same as yours? I'm quite tempted, I have to admit! |

Title: Re: it's not just that baz bloke you know..!!! Post by craig on Jul 15th, 2005, 9:21pm yes they are powered by 12v (obviously),but the wire is enclosed in one of the poles,the plug on the end is small enough to fit in the hole in the top of the seat,and luckilly enough,on the ultima you can put your hand in behind the bottom seat pad,so practically all wiring is hidden from view,i ran mine up the side under the trim,and all connections are made either in the boot,or under the back seat..... HTH |

Title: Re: it's not just that baz bloke you know..!!! Post by geraghtyg on Jul 15th, 2005, 9:25pm Sounds good to me. Did you just cut into a 12V supply that powers the seats? |

Title: Re: it's not just that baz bloke you know..!!! Post by craig on Jul 15th, 2005, 9:30pm no,what i did was when i had the original video set up,i also fitted an additional cigarette lighter in the boot,this was put in to power an invertor for a games consul,so i had all the wiring already in place,if you were considering the same,you could "spur off" just about any connection i guess,theres plenty to choose from in these cars |

Title: Re: it's not just that baz bloke you know..!!! Post by Mike-OddJob on Jul 15th, 2005, 11:40pm Craig what type of connections (plugs) are they on the end of the cable and roughly how long is the cable please ??? Just one more thing, are the monitors finished in a carbon look ??? Thanks Mike |

Title: Re: it's not just that baz bloke you know..!!! Post by craig on Jul 15th, 2005, 11:50pm mike.... yes the screens have a "carbon effect" strip running around the screens.... cable length,put it this way it went from both sides up under the plastic trim on the side and under the back seat where it sits..... plug on the end is a normal yellow video RCA plug,and a + and _ wire on each end.... HTH |

Sorry about all the questions, but what about the audio input and how do they stop from dropping down in height, I can't see any teeth on the poles as on the Scorp's ??? TAG |

Title: Re: it's not just that baz bloke you know..!!! Post by craig on Jul 16th, 2005, 12:12am mike.... the poles are adjustable,so all you have to do is make them 1 size too large/small and then gravity takes over. as for audio,you either plug what device you are using (DVD,VIDEO PS2 ETC.ETC) into your existing stereo via an RF modulator,or use an ifra red sender to transmit the sound to headphones.... |
