mobile video system ?
would a clarion in dach lcd tv make a good fit in the rx7.
I was thinking it could replace the top cd player beacuse I have a ten disc in the back. It also comes with a tv tuner. Would it interfere with any of the controls.

the panasonic
single din unit fits nice and clears everything.. a little tight when you try and retract the screen in 1st or 3rd, (but the Momo airleather took care of that) 
, but I needed an external MP3/DVD/VCD/SVCD/CD player since the monitor is just that, a monitor with inputs and a tuner ( last years model)
I am in the process of designing a CAMP type system, without the fish-o-meter, to display gauges there

The monitor is a 7", heres a couple more pics..
The front inputs are stereo audio and video (a mono mic jack?), although I have nothing that outputs video in a 1/8" microphone jack
I wish it wasn't silver, but I had the monitor for a while, decided to use it finally. To the right, you can see the little remote eye for the (separate) TV tuner, which I also dislike. I got the best antenna I could find and the reception is crap. Call any stereo/video shop and theyll tell you that all antennas are crap, unless you get that old 70's style AWAC boomerang thing (which doesnt work inside the hatch..) and I aint putting it on my car

I guess I'll probably hold off on buying> I thought I would atleast get a decent reception in there. I was not planning on buying a DVD because I hardly drive this car. For 300 + installation I would of liked a tv, but not if its going to get a crappy reception.

How easy is it to get the guage readings to be read on the screen? That would be nice if you could hook them all up to that instead of having to mount them on the a-piller and other places. Much cleaner set-up as well.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
Most screens are junk. I sell them for a living, so i know wassup. Really, the only decent screen out there is the Kenwood 911 DV. I actually has a TV tuner, CD and DVD player built into a DIN sized unit. The whole thing is motorized and touch screen.
