looks good...everytime i see it i want to put a tv in my car....(whenever it gets fixed >frown.gif> )...about how much did the TV run ya
I got it off UBID for 155 shipped! It came with a remote, a modulator box so I have AV 1, AV 2, CATV, and regualer TV hook ups, and 2 antennas! GOt a good deal I think!

99 Toyota Tacoma
that is a great deal. did you install it your self too?

[TeamNJCT
Yep installed it myself. I made my own bracket and ran the wire and hooked everythign up myself. Was hard but interesting and fun!

How did you mount it, is it fixed to the same mounting as the
mirror?
And are you running the audio out from your TV signal
source to an FM modulator? When I tried that I found
that the frequency set kept drifting slightly so I had to
keep readjusting my preset on the head unit for the drift.
Probably just my modulator though!
If you have a photo of the mounting I'd like to see it,

Thanx....

Yea I really didnt want to drill any holes so I hooked it to the bracket that hold the mirror on. I mad my own L shape bracket and used the piece that held the tv to the orginal bracket for this one. I drilled a hole in the L shape and the screwed the piece to hold the TV on. Yea my modulator works fine with regular TV but seem to distort with the playstaition 2. Not sure why?

Just in case anybody is interested, my JDM Celica was called an "Entertainment Edition" and came stock with a TOYOTA 12 disc changer and a 4' in-dash TV with video inputs. It's pretty sweet but I took it out for my double-din Kenwood and I'm going to mount another one somewhere else. I'll get rid of it for pretty cheap if anybody is interested. I'm not sure what wires are needed on the male harness but I'm sure ToyotaWorld could give you some useful info. If anybody wants it, hit me up and give me a quote, I'll give you all the other info on it.
Nice set up. Wish i had cash to do it.
i would love that entertainment thing with the screen hit me up on he pm and gimme a price.
