tell u the truth the TV tuner is really a waste coz u will never can get a good reception while is moving, u rather spend on something else. can u please send me some link about the Alpine Vehicle Hub

the way i'm doing on mine: Front 7" indash all in one DVD player can control ipod, hook up to the AUX I/P but i hardwire it from the back of the OEM H/U, then the front screen video O/P go to the rear roof mount screen with built in DVD player so i'll have 2 dvd player in mine so the rear video O/P is going to the video I/P of the front screen as well, so i can watch the rear movie at the front also the rear can watch the front movie one too, its getting complicated :D , i hope this will give u an idea, if u r in sydney, please come and i'll show u, cheers

Unfortunately, I'm in Perth.

Here's what I've got from the alpine website about the Vehicle Hub that I was talking about.

Only reason I was considering it was that I wanted to join multiple sources and still keep the original head unit for radio.

If a TV tuner is a waste of time, then I might go for a simpler setup. Please tell me if you think this is possible....

1) Remove CD changer, freeing up 2 input jacks, CD and AUX
2) Attach iPod using this product from Dension - 'ice>link plus'. This will still allow me to use the factory unit and steering wheel controls to control the iPod. http://www.dension.com/icelinkplus.php
3) Install an Alpine DVE-5207 DVD/MP3/CD player to where the changer use to be.
4) Hook up the DVD player a/v out to an Alpine TMX-R102 roof mount.
5) Then run a video out from the roof mount to a front mount screen and the audio out to the factory head unit via the AUX input.
6) With the front mount screen I thought of hiding it in the top glove compartment. Attaching it to the roof of the compartment lid using some sort of hinge so that it can swivel up and down, and I can close the lid when not in use. Thinking of using an Alpine TME-M580 5.8" screen maybe? This unit has a possibility to attach to a alpine Sat Nav system if they ever sell it here.

I'm trying to make it all look factory fitted...

thats sound good, when its done please PM me with a link of ur odyssey

yeah i was thinking of installing in the top compartment that can go in and out but seems like only the small screen can fit, i prefer bigger maybe u should try bigger it might be fit..........
