car video systems

[Coriya71]

I figure alot of you guys have tvs and stuff in your cars so I have some very basic questions.
What are the basics, Lcd screen, a medium(ie vcr, dvd, tuner) an antenna? if I want to watch tv or does the radio one work? Do I need somethins special to tap into the radio speakers( ie a radio with aux inputs, RF modulator?)
Let me know how your systems work.
Thanks!

Many of us have PS2's in our cars. Then you can watch DVD's and play games. [img]smile.gif[/img] But if you want to pick up TV stations, you'll need a tuner. You could probably find a cheap one for like $75, but they commonly come in package deals with LCDs. In order to hear the audio through your stereo, you'll need an RF mod or a headunit with aux inputs. If you use the aux inputs, make sure the tuner/LCD/whatever has RCA outputs. I used to have a very cheap tuner that used this huge pigtail type thing. It only plugged into it's own RF mod. That thing was a POS. :mad: If you're planning on putting the LCDs in the sunvisors, make damn sure you buy the thinest screen possible. Under 1/2". Also, you have to knock out the sunvisor mirrors. Be careful. The sunvisor becomes very flimsy without the mirror support. Ebay is a great place to look around. Lemme know if you have any more questions. [img]smile.gif[/img]
