In-Dash DVD.....?

Has anyone installed an in-dash dvd yet? Was it worth it? Also, where can I get a custom box for 8's or 10's that will fit a Supercrew??

I'm going for the AVH-P6800DVD. I don't need the nav. It looks like it fits perfect! Was the install difficult?

I have the Panasonic double din DVD player and I have my back up camera hooked up to it as well. Works great, and I can also watch movies on long trips!!!!

I would but I found one for 800 new. Thanks though!! Did you have to get anything extra for the install like an install kit or did everything you needed for the install come in the box?

You'll need a wiring harness(so you don't have to cut the factory wiring), and a dash install kit, the screen is slightly smaller than the opening and the dash kit will make it fit just right as well as hold it in place.

it almost has too many features, sometimes it is hard to get the music to sound just right- the crossover controlls are strange-and sometimes it is hard to see the screen during the day-depending on how the sun is shining in the window-everything else is ok. Also you may want to check into pac products so you can be able to watch a dvd while driving-although it is illegal- and pac products make an steering wheel interface for steering wheel controls if you ahve tehm too.
