Hi there to all,
"First time poster, long time fan...."
I own an '03 100. I love it to bits, only complaint is the thirst, but I knew this, so not really a complaint.
I have the Executive edition as it is known over here, 4.7 V8 with pretty much all the options available at that time.....
But: I have the "old" nav/headunit. So: DVD-nav under the passenger seat, but not a DVD-video player. 6CD-changer in center console/cubby. No MP3 or WMA support. No rear entertainment system.
What I would like is rear-seat entertainment, but with signal to the front screen so I can "see" and operate the DVD player menus and stuff. My kids are too young do do this themselves.
The idea would be 2 screens in headrests, FM-modulator to radio/speakers for the sound for short trips so that we can sing along with the kids, but I already have a wireless headphone unit + headphones from Philips for the longer trips so I can keep my sanity and listen to CD/radio over the speakers.
My electronics guy assures me he can "break in" on the "map" video signal from the nav computer and add a switch, so I can ALWAYS see the map screen on my headunit and flick the switch to operate the DVD-menu and stuff. Basically, all existing functions remain. (I still have to be parked to operate the satnav and stuff, I am fine with this).
Now the big question: where do I build the DVD-changer???? There seems to be nowhere to hide/mount the thing...
I have read that Yoyota offered/offers a rear seat (non-overhead/non-headliner) entertainment system, screens in the fron headrests, and where the DVD player is mounted somewhere in the back next to the second row of seats somewhere? Anyone have any pics of this?
I'll be damned if I can find a place to actually fit a 6 DVD changer/player.
Any input would be greatly appreciated...
