Xenarc 700IDT is AMAZING!

spdyscotty · 09-23-2005, 07:27 PM

I received my Xenarc 700IDT for under $500. Although it is not motorized and is very pricey, it is amazing quality. I switched to this monitor after being dissapointed by the Lilliput in-dash.

With the Xenarc, you can even see it during the day. I recommend this monitor to anyone looking for a flip-out in-dash solution.

I saw this screen removed from couple of sites and some said because it has issues.

Nope, it doen't seem to have any issues. I am 100% satisfied.

How exactly does it work if it is not motorised? I am guessing it is spring loaded, but does it spring out and have to be pushed back in? What is the mechanism like?

I really wanted a motorised in-dash, but they don't seem to be any good at present.

I did hear somewhere that Xenarc are working on a motorised version. Anybody know anymore about it?

I was looking into getting the lilliput indash motorized LCD.

Mind if I ask why you were dissapointed with it?

Also, mind linking me to the one you purchased?

TY!

I like mine too, It still gets washed out a little in bright sunlight though.

It is not motorized, but spring loaded. You press in the front and it quickly springs out and folds up. I have no idea what quality issue mp3car is talking about, but I'd like to find out. Mine is absolutely great.

I had the Lilliput in-dash. It was highly reflective, and you could not see a thing during the day. Not to mention it breaking after two weeks. With the Xenarc, it can be a bit hard to see under direct sunlight (better than the lilliput though), and with the proper brightness/contrast settings it is pretty damn good.

I know you can get them for under $500 here too http://www.carputersfordummies.com/Xenarc%20700IDT.htm

Just talked to them about one of these nice screens! Will probably get one myself.

A bit off topic here, but which navigation software is in used in the video? just curious.

Thx in advance. (I use Routis (discontinued))

dmcdlrn · 09-28-2005, 11:43 PM

so this one is not so reflective? Would you still need an upgrade to have good daytime visibility? I have a convertible, so sun is a much bigger deal for me.

someone actually registered the domain " carputersfordummies.com "
seems like a sale site, no info ...
I thought it might be a good sticky for the noobs

It seems like the same housing that I got to put one of my lilli in, however it's FUBAR now..... damn, trying to save a penny
