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 ;)

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt

      Amplifier 88650-60D60 no longer made

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently purchased a 2007 200 series landcruiser, and the amplifier for the air con unit stopped working. Part number 88650-60D60. (Looks like a circuit board) All controls for the air con now do not work, very frustrating in winter when you dont have any way to unfog your windscreen. Toyota have informed me that they no longer produce this part, and there is nothing superseeded to fit in it's place. My question is has anyone had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I have got onto an auto sparky who has had a go at fixing the circuit board but its unserviceable. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

      Engine oil dipstick reading

      Hi guys, Probably a silly question... I'm having trouble reading my engine oil dipstick on my Toyota Hilux 2010 3.0 Turbo Diesel. I have warmed up the engine, turned off for ~10 minutes, parked on a level surface. Pulled out the dipstick, wipe it and insert it back to the bottom and carefully lift it up. I tried so many times and the two sides always look different. I couldn't read it. Maybe I just don't understand how to read it. Could someone help? Thanks a lot!!!
