how can I do that. This has been going around my mind for a quite some time now and I had suggestions from manny people for the same. Some said you can not and it is not possible. What I believe is nothing is IMPOSSIBLE with SOARER and SOARER CRAZY owners...

What I would like to know is there abny way where i can keep my EMV (as if i take it off then my air controll will be gone too) and have a DVD player in my car.

i have been looking around to do the EXACT same... as far as i am aware it is possible, but once done you will lose all sound coming from your EMV. recently i put a thread up asking for some creative ideas for an EMV screen + an external monitor. it can be done. but you had better be worth half your weight in gold to beable to afford it. i hear its pretty pricy.. let me know how you go

Move the tape player to the cigarette position, single din dvd with 7" flip out screen in its place and patch the audio into the tv, does that sound possible?

im looking to completely remove all functionality from my emv. all i want it for is it control the a/c. i want to have an auxillary i/o from a single din car pc or stereo hooked up to an external 7" touch screen.in theory it can be done, because if u loose the tape playeru loose the tv function for the emv screen + sound (i believe)..i want to get that done! sounds like we all share a vision..

Not sure why this is failing to retain the cd/dvd in the slot, it is almost as though the eject button is stuck in! Even though only use the remote. Manufacturer states it must go back to retailer so will be contacting him.

I saw one guy did that ... at that time I was thinking of same idea -> A/C control unit + aftermarket 7" (folding) DVD&TV unit(my mate bought it for $350 on ebay and it works really well... lol) + bit money from selling EMV unit and cd changer + losing all stock functions(they are not really necessary as long as you got a new DVD+CD+TV)

This was my plan... but the plan has been suspended due to lack of patient, skill and money as well.

So atm, I'm just planning to get EMV modification which looks genuine and also provides DVD or in-car pc at additional cost.

I was asked for $800 to do fix for everything (TV conversion, radio conversion and common fix for TV tuner)
and additional DVD unit will cost around $200 ?

So... to me, that's easier and nicer plan now...

For a DVD player you can get one for AUD$165 from Brash Imports.

http://www.brashimports.com.au/4002.htm

TV conversion cost around $600 & radio conversion cost around $350.
