DVD Player/Reverse camera/ Wood grain steering wheel MODS *pictures*

I have had these mods done this last month. Wanted to share with everyone some pictures of these mods... The DVD player works great... Its "in motion" - The reverse camera is a pretty cool lil toy also... And the wood grain steering wheel looks really classy.....

The DVD player is installed underneath the glove compartment on the passenger side. I have taken 3 pictures... Different angles.. Its totally hidden from above but below you can see it....

The reverse camera is located on the right side of the license plate...

Nice mods man, looks great. I have to find a location for my DVD player also. I think I will look into the same spot as you.

Oh, BTW.....I always liked that little "OC" hottie!!

What model of player is it? The ones I have looked at are much taller. That appears to be a pretty slim player. Did it come with a remote mount IR sensor? Is it NTSC/PAL switchable?

not sure what model it is but its really thin... half inch in thickness.... its is NTSC/PAL switchable... and it does have remote control and IR sensor.... it plays MP3/DVD/VCD/CD's and DVD-Rs which is nice!

Blake,

I did get it done in Brooklyn. They did the DVD/ reverse camera install for me....

NYtoJerz,

You can either do it two ways. YOu can have steve install you a TV tuner/DVD player or you can go to brooklyn and have it installed..... I would recommend to have steve install the tuner....


Jello,

I have no idea what model DVD player this is... all i know its pretty slim and works great!

John AMG,

I had the installers do the wiring. I just put the car in reverse and rear camera comes on.......

Cadet,

I had to go to brooklyn and have them do the mod for me. The did all the wiring and what not. As for the wood grain steering wheel, Steve sold it to me... its a great touch to a classy car...i highly recommend it.... Also email steve for prices...

Cracker,

I have not changed the side yellow markers.....

Thanks for the replys guys..

[John AMG,

I had the installers do the wiring. I just put the car in reverse and rear camera comes on.......

Which installer in Boston, MA? I will be visiting Boston in the summer and if the cost is reasonable I may have it done in my E55. Can you give me an idea what the cost for the camera? Thanks.
