im shopping around 4 a 1din dvd/cd/mp3/ipod ready head unit that doesnt have region coding for the dvd.

i checked JVC and seems theirs only plays region 4 or dvds that can be played in all regions, and 2 be honest id rather hear from people who have already gone 2 the trouble of finding it and buying it and have no problems recommending it.

so yea if you can include price and where you found it as well that would be great.

I know Alpine units can be sent to Alpine to get them chipped for a few hundred dollars which is great as you are able to retain your warranty. Not sure if they still offer this service.

May I ask why you need region free? As you said, as most, if not all can play region-free & region 4 discs so any DVD you have that isn't region 4 or region-free, I guess you could just rip and reburn them into region-free format.

2din HU doesnt fit my plans 4 my system!

k lemme explain...

ive ordered a 8"solobaric kicker coming direct from the US on the 13th of sept..

gonna make myself a custom fibreglass case to house it in the boot ALA silvabullits $300sub box

still gotta find a decent amp 2 power it 4 the right price.

future plans is to get this:

LILLIPUT IN DASH MOTORIZED VGA TOUCHSCREEN, AM/FM, 4X45AMP, USB.

as you can see its 1DIN.

to go under this i need a 1din dvd/vcd/mp3/cd/ ipodready-(hopefully)

Yes im aware of alpine HUs are able 2 play all regions but yea, my nearest jb hifi didnt have 1 in stock 2 show me. they only had the model with a lcd, and obviously im not after that 1 or any lcd from jb since they dont have a VGA input.

i need the VGA screen 2 view the carpc im planning 2 put together.

havent bought most of this stuff yet... still in planning stages but im pretty sure what i need 2 get 2 make this reality :)

below is the case im planning 2 get... looks roughly the size of an average amp.

Lilliput make an in dash Carputer that will do everything you want... fits in single din slot so you can mount the computer the screen together in the double din space :)

there are also better (fanless) boxes around too ;)

this model is a couple of years old and getting dated... I've been doing the research too ;)

yea im well aware of the indash pc that goes with the lilliput screen...

heres the link : http://www.brashimports.com.au/GL701-tc1000.htm

$1600 including delivery, not bad, but i want 2 hide the fact theres a carputer in the car!

im also kinda put off by the look of the face of the HU... and having the pc in the dash is kinda asking for people to come and break into the car...

thats y im considering putting the pc box somewhere behind the backseats or under the front passengers seat.

Yeah I'm looking at a stand alone fanless PC I can set up in the boot with a remote DVD-ROM/CD-R combo drive up front (most likley in the glove box). There is a Lilliput screen that has built in TV-tuner and Radio that I'm looking at as well, as it's simpler to install the the USB things that don't always work... just ask Tom.

Yeah, that's why I've chosen to go with just remote mounting the DVD drive. I don't want to be fiddling with the seat/boot/where ever I stash the thing to put a Disk in the drive so remote mounting works best. Plus you can buy smaller/lighter units if you get one without the CD slot.

What exactly do you mean by the term "remote mounting"?

PC unit will be in the boot and the DVD drive will be in the glove box connected by about 2m of USB cable.

You can but USB cases for slimline DVD drives (notebook style) for about $30-40 then buy a cheap drive to put into it... simple ;)

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
