hey guys,
my mates thinking about buying somthing like this and mounting it on the dash.
my question is, what is the reception like if u just watch normal tv?
would u have to have some sorta rediculous arial to get a good picture?
refering to this ebay thing.
thanks fellas.
not sure about TV.. TV reception has always been an issue... to get good reception u'll need to be stationary,
whereas when u are driving around, to get the reception, its like shooting at a moving target... so pretty
hard to get good reception with TV...
dunno bout victoria, but in NSW new laws have come in saying that if the driver can see a tv screen whilst driving, u get a fat fine and demerits. :( are there any laws like this down where you are?
not allowed either... but i'm sure ppl still have their screens going while driving... :rolleyes:Quote:

so technically, u're not allowed to use ur radio if you have a screen, while driving ?
u can use the radio, mp3's or dvd's watever... as long as the screen is not working... so u can have the
audio from dvd's or watever but the screen must have no function...
doesn't the screen always function though ?
or need to function to change/work the unit ?
:confused:
Yeah tahts weird, hows it work with touch-screens or whatever?
i always thought that the menu functions and stuff are allowed to work, but no video. Thats just what i thought ne way, might have to shut off visual all together?
my bad.. worded it wrongly... yes the menu still functions but no video can be played...Quote:

yeah i got a sweet dea for a dvd player the other weekend, good thing i couldnt find the cash, i would have regretted it i think. My battery would be flat watchin a dvd withut the engine on in 15 minutes with the sound up, and a waste of fuel with the engine on. Also makes your car a target for break ins. I say get a good OEL headunit and hook an ipod up to it and you're set, forget dvds.
sall bout having the bling of having video clips in ur car :pQuote:

i got a kenwood screen for sale and the quality is really clear
if your interested check out my post.
