Replacement for KEC DVD Player

[jason78]

Well, my Quality KEC DVD Player finally started acting up.

I am looking for a replacement of the Single DIN type I can easily install in the OEM spot. Don't need anything fancy and would LOVE to find one with a built in Digital tuner as well.

I have seen some other threads on this but the replacement models that were stated in those threads (at least the ones I saw) are obsolete and no longer available.

Thanks
Jason

Are there any Blu-Ray players that will fit in the slot?

That would be nice. I did some Googling and could not find any good results. The industry seems to be moving toward combining DVD,TV and/or Blu-Ray in with a Dual-Din Kick-as* car stereo (with 8" flip down TV screen). I don't need the stereo/screen part obviously so I am having a hard time paying the extra $400 for that technology on top of the $300 for the technology I need. Not to mention I don't have space for a dual din device.

May have not have a choice though- CSR is my last hope for this!
:huh:

I would also be willing to settle for a small Flat TV with built in DVD but finding those under 20" is becoming difficult too. I have to put in where the 13" is now.

I know it's not really what you want but you could delay for a while... I did last year... and get one of these(I did) for now..

Mine has worked great so far..... good luck with a replacement! I'm interested to see what you get!

I don't know if this helps but my son orders a lot of sh!t from these people and for a resonable price i might add. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/

Thanks for the suggestions!

Right now I am leaning toward this TV

My only concern is the size and the spot I have to put it.
Size is 18 and 5/8" wide; 13" high

The 13" Stock Sharp is about 13" wide and 12" tall

Good Points-
Name Brand
Runs on 12 Volts
Built in HD Tuner (so I can get rid of converter and inverter)
Includes DVD Player

Not sure how it will look though. If I can keep it from overlapping the bulkhead I think it will look OK. There is not a lot of room for the TV on the 280.

Keep the tips coming. If anyone has a pic of an upgraded (wider than sock) TV on a 280, please share.

I need to get this done soon so I can get the Backyardigans DVD and Captain RON DVD back in for my two sons.

Thanks
Jason
