In-dash VGA + DVD?

amthar · 11-08-2005, 09:15 AM

Anyone know if there is an in-dash motorized flip out screen with VGA-in AND is also a DVD player? This would be awesome, but I doubt it exists

OR if there is an indash 1/2 DIN VGA screen? This would be cool too but I doubt this exists either

Any luck?

lol

not yet.

still wondering how I will do that!

Looks like we share a project then

If a lilliput or xenarc can be placed into a custom housing that is <= 1" thick, it doesn't seem too difficult off the top of my head. The easiest thing to do would be to get a 1/2 DIN DVD player like the Myron & Davis AD525 and mount a rail system on top of it that the screen would slide on.

The AD525 + 1" thick screen would be ~ 2" tall, allowing for single din mounting.

Here we go again...I hope at least you guys will have a little luck with this...

amthar · 11-08-2005, 02:07 PM

lol, been tried before eh?

The best way would be that:

1st : buy this AUTOCAN product:

Specifications:
http://autocan.zc.bz/KR/VGA_IN_AC700ND.html

2nd : Add Touch screen

from DigitalWW

Have to verify dimensions

3rd : Remove DVD player form AUTOCAN product

Hard part.

Need to hack the unit and be sure that the unit will work witout his DVD player.

4th : Replace by Slim Slot-in DVD player + USB adaptator

Slim DVD slot-in load

+
Slim2IDE adaptator

+
USB2IDE adaptator

The first problem is the AUTOCAN product.

So hard to find.

The manufacturer don't reply mails.

The only reseller found was italian but sell it very too much!! about 1600€

hi

2) u can't fit touchscreen inside the autocan, u don't have enough space.
Or did u find a thin touchscreen?

3-4) Why u want to change the default DVD player?

Because the "default" dvd player does not send out data that could be manipulated by a regular PC. It's probably completely proprietary, so the drive basically only works with that unit.

Have you got an AUTOCAN product ????

If yes , you are interresring me...
I can't find one...and necer have seen pics of it when working...

The touch screen panel is just 1,5millimeters thin...I know that there isn't anought space but it is possible to modify the OEM plastic (which fix the LCD) to earn space or if we don't want to modify it, we could build one...

But for me the problem is to buy first an autocan unit for cheap (because from italian seller it is about 1400-1600€ ...to expensive).

So now I am trying to do it with this :

it costs me lot of time because the screen is not VGA so I have to change the LCD to ...
Lot lot of work...

2k1Toaster has answer you.

Denun · 04-21-2006, 01:20 PM

so....

Yes i have autocan (u can search for my posts about it)
Yes, i already tried to install a touchscreen there, let me say it's impossible (or perhaps u have to work a lot but handworks r not my ideal work)

About changing the dvd player.... i use a car pc with dvd-rw so i don't know how can be useful for me.

about the stereo dvd player u mentioned, i bought one similar from mp3playerstore.com and i replaced the lcd screen with a lilliput+touch. i did some mistake so i ****ed up the stereo but other peoples here has done it without any problem.

let me say, that 1600E it's a lot, but the screen worth it.
