ROSEN A7 DVD Player - fits perfect |
|
I have fitted a Rosen A7 overhead DVD player and 7" screen. Sorry no pictures but I can tell you....
The existing wiring, in the main, is sufficient to do the job, it has built in lights for those getting in and out, it's a perfect size for the kick in the roof and the mount replacess the light cluster very well. Looks very tidy when fitted - dare I say factory fitted
It cost £170 of the t'internet (inc 2 x wireless headphones) and was fitted by me in 20 minutes. The only mod I made was a small switch as the existing roof wiring has no auxilary to the ingition - also means that the kids can't mess.
The A7 is the smaller brother of the A9 which is the one they used to fit in the D3's at dealers for £1,900 !!!
It isn't going to win awards for the most amazing features but at the cost I think it's brilliant, and so do the kids D4 HSE....Probably, but not quite decided yet.

That looks a good deal for the money
Can you take an audio out into the vehicle Aux socket or a video out for and additoinal 3rd row screen? Did you have the rear Aircon controls or would they get in the way of this unit? Lots of questions, sorry!

OK, have loaded pictures of the DVD now. There is a small switch on the rear, this is the only mod as I couldn't find an aux live to the ignitition.
Any questions please ask. D4 HSE....Probably, but not quite decided yet.

I guess the only issue Nick is, do the motion sensors for the rear half of the car now work, with this in the way. Otherwise, really neat job.
