Anyone have pics of DVD player in stang?

d_stang_j · 03-22-2006, 10:37 PM

I have seen a couple of in dash dvd players in mustangs but some were mounted on the top of the opening in the dash and some were on the bottom of the opening. All the stereo kits I see have them mounted in the top of the opening, I was wondering how do they get in on the bottom or is it custom fitted like that, because if it is mounted in the top of the opening it blocks the ac controls and puts it up higher and mr five-o can see it easier. I would like to figure out how to get it mounted lower in the dash opening. Don't know if this really makes sense but someone out there knows what I am talking about.

its kinda hard to explain in text but basically its kinda hard to mount to the lower deck only cause of the stick and harder for the automatics. but it is safeier only cause it will be harder to steal, but as hard it is to steal it is to install. either way your kinda skrewed. if u wanna mount it on the bottom, the bottom deck tucks in alot more then the top so its gonna have to tilt foward. best bet is to mount it to top and buy a LCD that has custom tilt adjustable, so when u wanna mess w/ your a/c controls ur able to. one thing to keep in mind from 1st hand experience, your gonna have lots of a glare when your driving at nite only cause the bright lights of the screen and especailly a bright glare when you have limo tinted windows.

Custom Sounds. That was the Kenwood DDX 7015, now I have the 8017 which plays mpegs too. It's a great head unit. You need a custom mounting bracket but it looks awesome in the Mustang center console.

Not a cheap setup, but it sounds awesome.
The rest of the system includes:
Kenwood KNA-DV4100 Navigation, iPod adapter, 2 sets of Focal 6.5" components, 2 JL Audio 10w6 subs, JL Audio 300/4 amp and a JL Audo 500/1 amp.
Everything is hidden or in a stock location.
