Will DVD Flip Out fit?
ORIGINAL: Jharper
yeahi know i thought about making it into a 98 by puting the new dash, headlights, and bumpers on it but thats a little pricey. but i really want a dvd flip out in it because all my vehicles have one in them, the grand prix gtp has a alpine touchscreen, and the cutlass supreme has a panasonic touch screen, and now i want to get a eclipse touch screen that i found for pretty cheap. i dont want it to be up 24/7 tho cause that causes problems with theft and ****, i could just shift into 1st the second i turn the truck on so it has time to pop up then shift into drive.

thanks, yeah if i got my windows tinted i would leave it up because you cant see in the vehicle cause im doing the front windshield too all 5% all around cause i have a thing from my eye doctor that says i can have tinted windows because lights hurt my eyes at night, its pretty sweet.
ive had to many break ins in my vehicles so i definatly want a detatchable faceplate, but im still worried about the flip out when it might hit the shifter andwhen it goes down it might hit it when the truck gets shut off.
Ihad a 7" flip out in my 96 s-10 blazer. It does work but if you want to flip out the screen you have to have the vehicle in gear sothe shifteris below the head unit. Ifthe shifter is in park it DOES hit the shifter but only when the screen is flipping up. But if you are parked you can just put it in gear, flip it up, and put it back in park. It does not hit the shifter once it is up.
If you are watching it from the drivers seat, about two inches of the shifter is blocking the upper left part of the screen. Kinda sucks but no big deal.
I would take pictures for you but I actually took it out (it is for sale on ebay right now actually) and put in my other head unit. I am a picky person when it comes to sounds quality and i could not adjust as many of the audio controls as i wanted to. But with a Pionner Premier 12with a box made for the specs of that sub and a 2000 watt amp, watching Saving Private Ryan sounds freakin amazing!!

Forgot to mention, if you put a flip screen in, make sure to put it back down before you shut off the vehicle. Mine automatically went down when you shut the truck off and it would hit the shifter if I forgot to put it down beforeI put it in park and shut it off.
Basically it is a pain in the *** if you really flip it up a lot. I never really did all that much. You get into a habit of remembering to close it first though so it really isn't too bad
