pity about the postage cost to Australia $100 :angrymob:
almost makes it not worth getting.....
if only i was in the us
EDIT: They sposedly have a deal going on where u get free postage for items over $200..... hopefully it applies to international orders too!
For fellow Europeans who are cursed (blessed!!) with owning a BMW e39,
you might be interested in a 16:9 x 8 inch to fit in the radio/MID hole .. I posted this on digital-car .. I'm not a dealer, but I don't mind getting a "club" together ... http://www.digital-car.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?p=143391
THe only concern I have with this screen is the operating temps. It says -20 to 60 degrees. I dont know about you but my car get much hotter than 60 degrees during the summer and I usually like it warmer anyway in the winter so the heat comes on. The 60 degree thresh hold seems a little low and it can probably with stand a little more.
Just my concerned mind being overly concerned I'm sure.
:peep:
I would guess that is in Centigrade... Which is somewhere around 140F
It is 60C which equals 140F. I life in FL and my truck is so hot, and the screen is so hot from the sun when i get in that it can almost burn you, and my screen works 100% perfectly in the heat! I don't have any cooling on the screen at all and have NEVER had a problem with it. Don't worry about heat!Quote:

Just about talked myself into buying one to try out.

A quick question here for Punkerguy... How are you supplying power to the monitor? Do you have it running off of your Battery/Alternator, is it powered through your carputer, or through a power inverter?
I am running mine off the carputer M2-ATX power supply. But you could run it off your alternator or an inverter as well.. but I think running it off the carputer is the easiest. That way, when the carputer shutdown controller cuts power to the computer, it cuts power to the screen as well.Quote:

It was time for a new toy. Picked up the cheapy night vision camera and a 4 channel amp while I was at it. They have free shipping for carts over $200. They seem to have fairly good pricing.
