Introduction:
This is an autotoys.com installation. One of several
hundred by the staff of autotoys.com
This article is a sample of knowledge gained by working on real
cars for over 25 years.
Online for over 17+ years, when you buy a product from us,
we give you real support when you need it.
Instant access to answers through our customer forums. With thousands
of customers, avoid delays, errors and miscalculations in your
installation.. buy from autotoys.com - your outlet for car audio,
car alarms and auto accessories.
Products:
If you have an interest in any of the products
in this article, everything featured (electrical tape, connectors,
radio, alarm, wire ties, rca cables, diodes, screws --- everything is available 'now' (FOR SALE!) through our storefront).
Remember, there may be many manufacturers out there who sell similar
products as the ones featured in our articles, but if you want
a problem-free smooth professional install, your only guarantee is to buy the same parts we use (see our storefront).
Any slight difference in any of the parts and your install is
ruined (plus you won't have access to our post sale support or
forums). Especially important for alarm, radio and OEM changer
products.
Sales People (be careful!):
Everyday, we get dozens of requests through
our chat & ticket support system, request for forum passwords,
questions on installation problems or questions. We can only focus on questions from our customers. The questions are simple..
the answers are simple - but these people, because they did not
buy from AUTOTOYS.COM cannot get an answer. Dont make a mistake
by buying through auctions, fly by night operations or new pop
up websites who are just a voice over the phone (a sales person)
with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE.
No experience installing in cars, no experience what-so-ever!
They barely know the products they sell! Don't make that mistake!
Make sure your purchase is from autotoys.com. These articles are
proof we know what we are doing and that we WORK IN CARS! We work on the newest cars with
the newest products.

KIA SEDONA MINIVAN CAR TV/VIDEO with IN CAR TV DVD PLAYER, POWER INVERTER
We recently worked in a 2003 Kia Sedona Minivan. We installed a headrest monitor behind the driver's seat. We used one of our special built headrest TFT active matrix monitors and secured it to the stems. No drilling required. We also installed an alarm and remote start (featured in another article), a power inverter with gameplate for the GAMECUBE in the rear part of the vehicle. We stuck the MP3/DVD din size car player underneath the drivers seat to source the in car headrest monitor.
*** Keep in mind when viewing the pictures of this monitor, the monitor used is an ACTIVE MATRIX TFT monitor. If quality is a big priority with you, look for ACTIVE MATRIX TFT monitors in our AUTO VIDEO department (shopping) - or email us for help. *** JUST
LOOK IN OUR TECH SECTION AND THE AMOUNT OF VIDEO INSTALLS
WE HAVE DONE IN POPULAR CARS - WHY TAKE A CHANCE AND
BUY FROM ANYONE ELSE? |
