Thread: D4 in dash GPS/DVD/DTV

The D4 does not have the same double din opening as the D3. So check the depth.
You will need to put a sceen in the screen space at the top of the centre console.
You may be better getting a screen for that spot and putting an in car PC under the passenger seat.

Hi all, I did not purchase the OEM GPS in my D4 SE based on well discussed reasons (price and performance). I fully intended to purchase a Hema or equivalent unit cause I really want to an OziExplorer type product for 4WDing.

Anybody replaced the in dash LCD with one of these:

7" LCD IN DASH CAR GPS DVD DiVX IPOD PLAYER ELEGANT - eBay Players, Audio, Video, Car, Truck Parts, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 19-Oct-10 11:04:25 AEDST)

They appear to be just the thing I'm after - and cheap!

Anybody know a good installer in Brisbane?

Hey Michael,
Speak to the service guys at ULR Malvern Vic. They have Discos come in with a similar system that the owners paid around $350.00 for, and apparently they work brilliant.
Cheers, Craig

Craig, any particular name/person I should speak to at ULR?

Thanks!

Hi Michael

I'm the guy that put the double din 7"screen in from china, $300 that the ULR guys are talking about.........but very few instructions, which are in Chinlish....took a long time to work out how to operate everything.

It has DVD, CD, Radio, Ipod, GPS (I've loaded Route 66, which comes with it, and I have Oziexplorer .....both work really well.) USB anything, TV, but I don't use it and a few other gizmos.
Stuart Dixon and Damian have told a few guys.

i've had it in now for 6mths and it's been over some pretty rough tracks up north, still good......bought one for my son in law who's doing a 6mth trip around Oz......he's very pleased with it.

Cheers Murray

Murray, thanks for the info and glad it's worked out well for you! Just a couple more questions:

- did you install it or did you get a professional to do it for you?
- do you have a D4, if so what about the OEM radio/CD
- are you still able to use steering wheel controls?

Thanks,

Michael

I am not sure whether it would work for a D4 the HU is not a normal din it is connected to the screen and I am not sure if a double din unit would fit given the depth of the DVD player in the unit.
Would like to know though.

Didn't happen without photo's...
