Default For you Audio Video Gurus

<center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v215/pnutasdf/RIMG0539.jpg"></center><p>
Thinking about adding a monitor to the car but I want to keep the stock HU and get an external screen with an external DVD player. How would I go about tapping the DVD player into the stock HU for sound? Would I use a Blitzsafe? Have anyone done this? Also I was thinking about using Icon-TV 6.5 monitors for a screen. Anyone got more info on it? I want to use it not at a headrest monitor but for up front. The quality of the picture on the screen is very nice.

Default Did you go with an Aftermarket HU?

I am looking at using the stock HU and try to keep most of everything stock.

the best screens are sharp. about 65% of the screens out there are made by sharp anyway. if you have bose its pretty simple too. you do have to get an adapter to get sound off an additional dvd player you add.

i kept the factory. most screens come with the bezel you have to cut off foam from the inside.

i did go with aftermarket, kenwood excelon 7" flip out toch screen. O nly thing is if you want it to look clean you have to have a custom radio kit made. NONE of the kits out there for audis fit correctly. they all have big gaps on the top or bottom. Tweeters, Best Buy carry the faceplate for your radio but there is a 5mm gap on the top. The best thing to do is get one custom made.

Default odds are that those headrests cost more than the screens that you put in them

not something I'd do... ever.
