Default Does a Indash DVD with screen work in our car?

I kno it is single din and would just pop in, but just wondering when the screen comes out and folds up, will it hit anything?

has anybody put a in dash screen in that location before?

Wait until the new Kenwood KVT915DVD comes out. It folds out totally opposite of any other screen on the market, so it will probably fit the S2k. I am a Kenwood dealer, so I'll be one of the first to be able to try it in the S2K, so I'll let you guys know. I cant wait!!!

I could be wrong, but I believe Eclipse's in-dash unit can extend far enough out that it would work in our S2ks. I've done that on 3G Integras which have a similar situation and it works well.

Which Eclipse are you speaking of? I am an Eclipse dealer and I dont think they come out far enough to clear the dash, but I could be wrong. Let me know which one you are thinking of and I'll go slap one in my dash and try it out for you guys.

I want to say the 7001 or 7002? It's been a couple years since I've worked as an Eclipse authorized dealer, so I don't remember off the top of my head which model it is.

I remember the Eclipse unit that would mechanically slide out and then you had to manually flip up the screen. The screen could then rotate left to right and the screen was also able to mechanically extend towards you if need be.

Haha. I told you it's been a while since I worked at an Eclipse dealer.

Doesn't Eclipse have a replacement for the 7001 or 7002?
