So why would you watch a movie while driving?
Just kidding
Looks Good. I was thinking about getting a stereo like that. I thought it would be cool to sit around at autocross on breaks and watch a video of your runs. I dont like the double din dvd headunits because people can see that you have a really nice stereo and try to steal it. With the one like you have when it is pulled in it looks like a cheap stereo. lol

Now the double DIN units, have hard mounts that you can run machine screws into so NOONE can steal the unit without taking major time out of their day to do... THAT is a real deterrent, more than a hideaway unit, but ultimately it is up to individual taste more than anything else... I like the DDin units, much easier to see, and no controls get blocked by the screen when in use...

To override video while in motion you need a rocker/toggle switch and a momentary push button. 12v in on one side of the push button other side goes to foot brake wire on back of radio. On rocker switch ground one side other goes to parking brake wire on radio. Hold push button in rock switch back and forth voila. This works for the tuner crowd espec when you have a custom computer than has a video out to monitor engine info or well nevermind cause we would never want to break the law right?

TR 7 works fine until it loses power, then you have to program it over again. I may be wrong. Also I am a gadget freak I like all the buttons and rockers. I like to pretend I am behind the stick in a F-14.

The only way "nice" and "jensen" should ever go together are if talking about vintage jensen guitar amp speakers.
Anyways, I'm still wondering why you watch tv while driving. Some people are bad enough on cell phones. Just looking for an honest answer, I'm not meaning to be a dick...just wondering.

because its somthing too do. especially when you spend all day in your truck. you dont really end up watching it just listoning with the ocational glance. but for highway driving its mint.
