Best Method For Mounting A Dvd In Car....

[Archie@]

I've recently purchased a little portable DVD player. It's a 7' screen that flips open like a laptop.

Nothing fancy, but considerably cheaper than the incar units, plus I can remove it to give me peace of mind.

As the player is slightly larger than the glove box, I can't just stick it in there, however I was thinking of mounting a frame in the glove box that has rails so you can pull it out like a drawer.

I'm not looking for something fancy and bling, more for practicle purposes of long drives up the coast etc...

How have you guys mounted your DVD players? any suggestions?

If your really stuck for ideas you could separate the screen from the unit and run some longer wires between both, then u could mount the screen in a different spot where it might not have fit with the whole unit, e.g glove box. but u might not be able to get it back together again. just an idea.

the thought did cross my mind to seperate the unit, but i was thiking it might be a better laternative if i can remove the entire unit when i need to....

I'm sure it's not exactly comon practice to use a portable dvd player since the market is now flooded with cd players that have built in screens, but i had a just a faint hope that some others might have gone down the cost saving path i'm atpemptng to take.

I'd rather spend good money on performance mods....

Have you got a laptop that plays DVD ? Then you could just put it on the passenger seat and watch DVD. Plus it will give the impression that you are having an engine management system in the car like F&F. Fully hektik !

Seriously tho don't mount DVD player in the car, you are not gonna watch it while driving anyway plus the risk of defects, theft, . . . Since you have a portable player I reckon it should be good to just put it on top of the hangbrake box, fold both front seats forward and just watch the movie from the back seats. Plus aint most "actions" happening on the back seats anyway?
