My new In-Dash DVD w/ pic!

Just installed a jensen 9410 2006 Model. Im very impressed with the picture quality. This unit uses a Panasonic TFT. I got it for $250 off Fleabay. Im happy overall and recommend the unit. My brother has the same unit and has been using it for over a year with 0 problems also. Used direct wire method so chimes are all gone. I dont have onstar or premium audio.

Looks real good. Also maybe another way for hiding the passenger airbag warning light.

Where does the screen go when not in use? Cause it also hides the factory fog light switch.

The fog light switch is irrelevant, since the other pics in the user's gallery show a HHR without fog lights.

And I'd assume the screen folds down (until it is extended straight out) and slides back into the radio compartment.

Right on..im using aftermarket fogs and my switch is installed to the left of the steering wheel. And the unit has 2 choices for the screen. I have it on auto screen out so when i turn it on it comes out automatically and when i turn car off it lowers and tucks back in the unit. And its weird because I had a newer Pionner unit installed and my FM reception was awful. This Jensen is crystal clear for FM reception.

Not to those of use w/ factory fogs. I would need to take it into consideration if I were to purchase this same unit.

Looks like a clean install.

Seems cool, but hope it is never on while you are driving. Doesn't seem like a good place for one really.

Looks good!

I've been thinking about installing one of these so my wife can watch movies when we're going to the cottage (or any other longer trip).

I've always wondered - do drivers actually watch these things when they drive? Wouldn't it be nice to have dvd player even for the DVD MP3/AAC playback? Why would they be more of a distraction than Ipods and Cellphones (which are legal)?

I once saw a guy reading a newspaper and eating a bagle in rush hour traffic! I wonder if having Robin Williams Live on Broadway would be more of a distraction...

If foglight switches are a concern, then you're going to have to go with dual din size video units. But I doubt you're going to find a decent one for the $250 giant paid on evilbay

double-din units are the slickest looking IMO, but the cost!
