Thread: After-market head-units compatible with steering-wheel controls

I have been wondering about a unit with a drop down screen like this one

7" Single 1 DIN IN Dash Touch Screen CAR CD DVD Player Stereo Radio Bluetooth TV | eBay

Item #231155926918

No steering wheel controls though.

One the last one I installed the screen came upwards which meant the unit itself had to sit further forward than the original so it could angle right up

I think I'll be going for a flip-up one, and have it sitting out. I'm not real fond of the flip-down offerings available.

Two camera inputs are required, one for forwards, one for reversing. I definitely want TV/DVD/Satnav/bluetooth audio.

There are juiced up versions of the drop down as well

There are also small screen single din units appearing now some have video out

I was thinking a 7" tablet could be mounted to the right of the clock and fed from the video out maybe

Hrm. I wonder if these things are available with digital TV tuners. Otherwise they're not going to be much good.

If you want to watch TV it could be a problem

I am pretty sure I have seen them with DTV or at least an add-on gizmo, just more bucks involved

Also neither of these units have steering wheel controls

The one you posted is a definite frontrunner.

If it has to sit out a little further, so be it. Small price to pay for having everything I want.

I made a packer for each side of unit behind blanking plugs drilled to same pattern of plug pins so they can go back on top to finish off sides again!
I think they are about 16-19mm thick which gives just enough clearance for screen to slide out fully + it looks neat.
